How Much Does It Cost To Book a Private Jet Charter From Washington DC to Los Angeles?

Since the journey crosses the entire country, there are limited aircraft options to pick from. For this trip, you’ll need to hire a midsize jet or larger. The most cost-effective way to get there privately would be by mid-size jet, like the Hawker 800A.

A ride in this jet or similar will set you back roughly $33,800. For a super-mid, you’re looking at a cost of nearly $39,000 and for a heavy jet, like the Global Express, you’ll be quoted in the neighborhood of $58,500. However, if you’re hoping for additional concierge services, these estimates will be slightly higher.

It’s important to note that price ranges for any flight can fluctuate based on the type of plane, starting and ending destinations, and other factors.

If these services interest you, we’ll connect you with our Trip Support department. Their sole responsibility is to provide support on additional services, like inflight catering, ground transportation, security detail, and arranging reservations.

LA to Washington DC: Distance

The distance between Washington DC and Los Angeles is approximately 2,300 miles by air and takes just shy of six hours of flight time. It’s important to note that only super-mid or heavy jets can cross that distance without stopping for fuel. A mid-size jet, on the other hand, will have to make a fuel stop, which will increase your travel time.

In a Crunch? For Quick DC to LA Flight Time, Book a Large Jet

If you have a tight schedule awaiting you in Los Angeles, we recommend booking a larger aircraft, like the Challenger 300. This aircraft boasts true coast-to-coast performance that’s perfect for blending cost-effectiveness with superior range capabilities. With an aircraft like this, you can skip the refueling stop, putting you in LA less than six hours from your departure, making the LA to DC flight time minimal and reasonable.

Empty leg flights from Washington DC to Los Angeles

Flying nearly coast to coast is an expensive journey. However, there is a way to save on the cost of chartering a jet from Washington DC to LA : book an empty leg flight.

Also known as deadheads, empty leg flights offer all the amenities that come with private aviation at a fraction of the cost. When a carrier is booked for a one-way mission, they’re left with the option of repositioning empty and footing the bill themselves or offering a discounted charter flight to help recoup some of the repositioning costs. When this happens, we’re able to provide clients with deeply discounted flights.

There’s just one catch: the jet type/size and departure dates will already be determined. However, these slight inconveniences can be worth the savings, if it aligns with your schedule.

  • How do I choose the right aircraft for my mission?

    dropdown dropdown

    As charter brokers, we do more than simply book your charter flight. At Stratos Jets, our air charter associates are highly trained personnel capable of matching our clients with the appropriate aircraft for their travel needs. Once we determine how many passengers you’re travelling with and how far you’re flying, we can determine which category of aircraft you require. There are many options available. The most common aircrafts hired for private charters include:

    • Cessna’s Citation X
    • Gulfstream’s G650
    • Bombardier’s Global line

    After that, we can help you narrow down the selection of recommended aircraft based on budget, desired cabin amenities, airport requirements, luggage capacity, as well as aircraft age and performance capabilities.

    Staying Safe in the Skies

    At Stratos Jets, air charter safety is our number one concern. One of our key policies is to increase consumer education. This ensures our clients are able to make informed decisions. We also work with our aircraft providers to ensure their safety training programs meet and even exceed our air charter safety requirements. To make this happen, Stratos Jets is an ARGUS Certified Broker. This means that our brokerage firm is:

    • Committed to the best industry practices
    • Adhering to all applicable safety regulations
    • Maintaining the appropriate insurance coverage required
  • Are there additional costs per private jet rental passenger?

    dropdown dropdown

    There are no additional costs per passenger. At Stratos Jet Charters, we base our private jet rental prices per hour, not per guest.

    The Stratos Pricing Estimator

    If you would like to estimate the cost of a private jet charter, use our Stratos pricing estimator page. It lists the most common estimates based on destination and aircraft type. And you can always enter customized data to get an estimate for a specific destination.

    Additional Concierge Charges

    We do charge for some of our additional concierge services, such as in-flight catering and entertainment, hotel bookings and ground transportation. We know our clients’ time is precious, so we offer the value and convenience of “one-stop-shopping” through our Trip Support team. When you book a flight with Stratos Jet Charters, we can take care of all the logistics, including booking hotels, meeting spaces, limousines and tickets to special events. That way you can relax, and enjoy your trip.

    Empty Leg Charters

    Also, since we charge per hour, not per passenger, there are travel bargains to be found with our Empty Leg Flights. Many of our private jet rental flights are one-way, and then we need to move the aircraft to a new destination. To reduce the costs of flying an empty aircraft, we offer discounts to travelers with flexible itineraries. Clever passengers will sometimes split the cost with their fellow travelers, thereby reducing the cost for everyone on the flight.  

  • Can I make last-minute changes to my itinerary?

    dropdown dropdown

    If your plans need to change, we will do everything in our power to accommodate the changes. One of the benefits of hiring Stratos Jet Charters is that we have much more flexibility than commercial airlines and can provide many more air charter services.

    We have two teams that can help you. Here is a brief description of each:

    Charter Sales Agents 

    This is the initial contact team. They evaluate your travel needs to identify the appropriate aircraft type for your travel plan. Pricing is determined by aircraft availability, its position related to the intended departure location and the position of where the aircraft needs to be after performing the customer’s flight.   

    Trip Support Team

    Once the aircraft has been selected, Trip Support works with the customer, the air carrier and all concierge service providers to organize all of the travel details. Trip Support is responsible for coordinating:

    • Departure time
    • Departure and arrival at the Fixed Base departure location
    • Ensuring assigned crew members meet Stratos experience requirements
    • Making sure the insurance is current and everyone is protected
    • Coordinating all concierge services

    In reference to last-minute itinerary changes, any changes would go through the Trip Support Team.

    Our customers often have demanding flight itineraries that can change quickly. They’ve come to appreciate knowing there’s an entire team of people focused on organizing all the details of their trip. Stratos Jet Charters wants to provide our clients with consistently outstanding air charter service and an impeccable safety record.
