Cabo is one of our favorite trips to arrange, a two-and-a-half-hour flight from Orange County that turns a travel day into a non-event. Because it’s an international leg into Mexico, there’s paperwork behind the scenes (customs, APIS manifests, permits), but that’s our job, not yours. You show up, board, and land in Los Cabos ready for the pool.
What it costs
| Route | Aircraft class | One-way, pre-tax |
|---|---|---|
| Orange County / LA → Cabo San Lucas | Light through super-mid (CJ3 up to Challenger 350+) | $15,000 to $25,000 |
The range reflects aircraft size, a light jet at the low end, a super-midsize with a bigger cabin at the top. Cabo is a heavy leisure route, so empty legs come up around weekends and holidays; flexible dates can save real money.
Airports
Departing John Wayne (SNA) (or LGB/VNY/LAX), you land at Los Cabos International (SJD), about 30 to 45 minutes from the Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo resort corridor. We arrange ground transportation and coordinate the arrival so customs is smooth on both ends.
Which aircraft
A light jet (Citation CJ3) does the mission for a smaller group; a midsize or super-midsize (Challenger 350) adds cabin space and baggage room for a family or a group with luggage and golf clubs. We’ll right-size it and confirm the aircraft is cleared for international operations.
How booking works
A fully refundable $500 deposit unlocks your Detailed Estimate Report with real market ranges for this route. You have 48 hours to decline for a full refund. Continue and we send formal quotes — sign off on one and your $500 is credited toward the trip. If those quotes don’t match your report on price or aircraft, you can take the refund instead. For international trips, we’ll also walk you through passport and documentation requirements early.
