Private jet empty legs
New York → Cabo San Lucas
New York to Cabo San Lucas is the classic East Coast → West Coast Mexico winter escape route — 6 hours in a super-midsize jet, 5.5 in a heavy jet. Los Cabos International (MMSD) handles all US-Mexico private traffic with customs + immigration on-airport; no clearance stops needed. Peak season November through April drives concentrated East Coast → Cabo traffic; empty leg supply builds on the northbound leg (aircraft returning empty to Teterboro or White Plains after dropping winter-escape clients). Charter pricing $45,000-75,000 one-way; empty legs to NYC 40-55% off. Sunday-Monday NYC-bound returns are the primary supply window — book Sunday for a Monday-morning Cabo departure.

Frequently asked questions
US-Mexico customs process?+
Los Cabos International (MMSD) has on-airport Mexican customs + immigration — no additional clearance stop needed. Southbound: expect 15-25 min at Mexican immigration. Northbound to US: expect Border Patrol + CBP clearance at first US airport of entry (or use Global Entry lane at KTEB Signature FBO — some private terminals have on-airport CBP). Bring passport + US visa (Mexicans + foreign nationals) as usual.
Aircraft range NYC → Cabo?+
NYC → Cabo is ~2,650 nm — right at range limit for many super-midsize jets. Challenger 350 makes it non-stop with reduced passenger count. G280, Praetor 600 more comfortable. Heavy jets (Falcon 900LX, G450) do it easily with full pax + baggage. If your quote suggests a fuel stop (typically Houston or Dallas), you're looking at a super-midsize being pushed near range — heavy jet upgrade is worth $5-8k premium to avoid.
MMSD ground handling?+
Los Cabos International has full FBO service via Universal + Aeropuertos y Servicios Auxiliares. Fuel: JetA + 100LL. Customs on-airport. Ground transport: pre-booked from hotel (Waldorf, One&Only Palmilla, Rosewood Las Ventanas all offer free FBO pickup with $600+/night stays). Ride-share limited; taxi $80-120 to Cabo San Lucas hotels; 20 min drive.
Cabo weather delays?+
MMSD has low weather-delay rate — visual approaches available year-round, no fog issues typical. Exception: June-October hurricane season occasional windows of closed airport (3-5 days per season on average). Empty leg pricing during hurricane season lower to reflect this risk. All private aviation operators track NHC forecasts + reposition aircraft ahead of storm windows.
