Private Jet from Portland, US (PDX) to Burbank, US (BUR)

Private jet charter from Portland to Burbank

The route from Portland (PDX) to Burbank (BUR) covers approximately 1,316 km, with a median block time of 2h 49m on flights we actually tracked.

63 private flights from Portland to Burbank were tracked over the last 12 months — around 5 a month, a steady but not saturated sector.

Median block time on tracked flights is 2h 49m, about 76 minutes longer than a straight distance-and-cruise-speed estimate — taxi, routing and traffic flow account for the difference.

The Bombardier Learjet 35 dominates the route, accounting for 72% of tracked movements, followed by the Embraer Phenom 300 and the Cessna Citation Latitude — a useful sanity check when a broker offers you something much larger or much older.

Traffic is strongly seasonal — November carried 9 flights against 3 in July, a 3.0× swing. Expect tighter availability and firmer quotes at the peak.

Flying back from Burbank is 32 minutes quicker: 2h 17m against 2h 49m 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 Burbank to Portland leg has its own page with its own numbers.

The smallest cabin that covers 1,316 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.
