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. On the Los Angeles end, private flights usually use Van Nuys (VNY) and Hollywood Burbank (BUR), boarding at a private FBO terminal rather than an airline terminal.

At 102 miles this is light jets territory: aircraft like the Embraer Phenom 300 and Cessna Citation CJ3+ have the range and cabin to fly it nonstop in about 35m. Demand out of Los Angeles peaks around award season in winter and the summer travel stretch, when repositioning flights, and so empty legs, are most frequent.

An empty leg from Los Angeles to Carlsbad exists because an operator has to fly the aircraft along this route anyway, to reach its next client or to return to base, so it sells that one-way flight for the whole aircraft, typically 25 to 75% below a comparable full charter. The departure time follows the operator's schedule. If your dates are fixed, a full charter on the same route lets you choose the time.
