Summer Private Jet Destinations from Los Angeles – 2025 Travel Trends

Los Angeles remains one of the busiest private jet hubs in the U.S., and Summer 2025 shows a surge in high-end leisure travel, industry events, and cross-continental escapes. Private aviation from L.A. offers speed, discretion, and first-class comfort to destinations near and far.

Top Summer Destinations from Los Angeles

  • Los Cabos & Puerto Vallarta – Mexico continues to be the top quick-turn destination, with light and midsize jets flying daily for vacations and VIP retreats.
  • St. Barts & Turks and Caicos – For luxury-seekers heading to the Caribbean, long- range jets like the Gulfstream G500 are in high demand this season.
  • New York City – Business and leisure travelers maintain a strong bicoastal presence, with high-volume flights to Teterboro and White Plains.
  • London & Paris – L.A.-based celebrities, executives, and creatives are making transatlantic journeys for fashion weeks, festivals, and extended holidays.
  • Aspen, Jackson Hole & Lake Tahoe – Mountain retreats are popular for multi- family vacations and long weekends away from the L.A. bustle.

Where L.A. Takes Off

Van Nuys Airport (VNY) leads private departures, followed by Santa Monica (SMO) and LAX Signature. Each offers VIP terminals, concierge service, and elite handling.

Summer Charter Behavior in 2025

L.A. travelers are increasingly booking larger aircraft for family travel, groups, and international charters. On-demand flexibility and empty leg deals are fueling short-notice bookings, especially for second-home travel and luxury villa access.
