About this flight

This empty leg private jet charter connects Van Nuys, the gateway to Los Angeles and the wider Southern California entertainment industry, with San Francisco, a city defined by its dramatic bay, rolling fog and world-class culinary scene. Flying between two of California's most sought-after hubs, this route captures the essence of a West Coast summer, linking the glamour of the LA basin with the sophistication of the Bay Area. Late August is peak season for both cities, as travellers move between premieres, wine country escapes and coastal retreats. Departing from Van Nuys means avoiding the congestion of larger commercial airports, offering a swift, private alternative for those short-notice California journeys.

The Gulfstream G650ER is among the most advanced ultra long range aircraft ever built, and on a short hop like this one its capabilities translate into pure comfort rather than necessity. With seating for up to eighteen passengers, the cabin offers exceptional room to stretch out, work or simply enjoy the coastal views below. Renowned for its whisper-quiet cabin, advanced air filtration and low cabin altitude, the G650ER ensures passengers arrive feeling refreshed rather than fatigued, even on a journey of this length.

Empty leg flights such as this represent a rare chance to experience ultra long range private jet travel between two premier Californian destinations. Because the aircraft is already positioned for this journey, travellers can enjoy a private charter experience with none of the scheduling constraints of a bespoke booking. For those seeking flexible, elevated air travel along the California coast, this represents an exceptional opportunity.
