Los Angeles runs on Van Nuys, one of the world's busiest general-aviation airports, plus Burbank and Orange County. Entertainment, tech, and a constant Las Vegas and Bay Area shuttle drive heavy one-way demand. Los Cabos is the Pacific coast's top luxury resort market and a major private destination from the western US. Golf, fishing, and winter sun drive a long high season.
Most Los Angeles–Cabo San Lucas private traffic moves through dedicated business-aviation airports rather than the crowded commercial terminals. On the Los Angeles end that means Van Nuys (VNY) and Hollywood Burbank (BUR); arrivals into Cabo San Lucas favor Los Cabos International (SJD). Flying these FBO-served fields means curb-to-cabin in minutes and no main-terminal queues on either side.
At 930 miles this is squarely light and midsize jets territory — aircraft like the Citation XLS+ and Embraer Phenom 300 have the range and cabin to fly it comfortably nonstop, which is why they make up most of the empty-leg supply on the route. Cabo San Lucas runs 1 hour ahead of Los Angeles — worth factoring into arrival timing. Demand peaks around award season in winter and the summer travel stretch out of Los Angeles and November through April, peaking around the holidays into Cabo San Lucas, when repositioning flights — and therefore empty legs — are most frequent.
