How far in advance should I book a private jet to Los Angeles?

For the widest choice of aircraft, airports and departure times, we recommend booking your private jet to Los Angeles one to three weeks in advance. Early booking is particularly advisable during major entertainment events, awards season, Coachella, major sporting events, holiday periods and peak travel dates, when aircraft availability, airport slots and parking may be limited. A last-minute or same-day private jet to Los Angeles can also be arranged, subject to aircraft, crew, airport operating hours and slot availability. Through its global operator network, PVJets can quickly compare the available options and recommend the most suitable aircraft and Los Angeles airport for your schedule.
