Private Jet Charter Los Angeles to Scottsdale

Los AngelesScottsdale · 610 km

About this route

Scottsdale draws Los Angeles travelers for golf, desert resorts and spa weekends, and in spring for baseball: several MLB teams hold spring training in the Phoenix area. The busiest single week is usually the WM Phoenix Open in February, when private traffic into the valley peaks. Scottsdale Airport (SCF) puts you minutes from the resorts. A light jet does the trip easily; larger groups heading for a golf weekend often prefer a midsize cabin for the extra bag space.

Questions

How long is the flight from Los Angeles to Scottsdale by private jet?

About 1 h 10 non-stop on a light jet, the smallest class with the range to fly it without stopping. The great-circle distance is 610 km (379 miles). The time is an estimate; your quote shows the planned schedule.

How much does a private jet from Los Angeles to Scottsdale cost?

We quote Los Angeles to Scottsdale against your dates and group size rather than from a table. Every quote we send is in US dollars, for the whole aircraft, and the price includes our service fee.

Can I bring golf bags?

Yes. Tell us how many, because golf bags drive the choice of aircraft hold. On light jets, four sets of clubs plus bags can be tight; a midsize jet gives more room.

Why do flights cost more around the Phoenix Open?

Demand for aircraft, crews and parking peaks that week across the whole Phoenix area. Booking early gives you more aircraft to choose from.
