Private jet charter from Monterey to Los Angeles
The route from Monterey (MRY) to Los Angeles (LAX) covers approximately 429 km, with a median block time of 1h 32m on flights we actually tracked.
This is a moderately busy sector: 88 tracked flights in 12 months, close to 7 per month between Monterey and Los Angeles.
Median block time on tracked flights is 1h 32m, about 62 minutes longer than a straight distance-and-cruise-speed estimate — taxi, routing and traffic flow account for the difference.
The Cessna Citation Latitude dominates the route, accounting for 30% of tracked movements, followed by the Bombardier Challenger 350 and the Embraer Phenom 300 — a useful sanity check when a broker offers you something much larger or much older.
Flying back from Los Angeles is 36 minutes quicker: 56m against 1h 32m on this direction, measured on tracked flights. Winds aloft run west to east at these latitudes, so the eastbound leg rides the jet stream and the westbound one fights it. Plan a there-and-back with different block times, not one figure doubled — the Los Angeles to Monterey leg has its own page with its own numbers.
The smallest cabin that covers 429 km without a fuel stop is the very light jet at $1,500-4,500 an hour, and the type most often quoted here is the Bombardier Challenger 350. How the hourly rate turns into a total is set out in the private jet cost guide, and if the dates are loose it is worth checking empty leg flights on this direction first.
