Airports on both ends
Neither end of this route needs a major hub. Van Nuys and Burbank cover Los Angeles, and on the northern end San Carlos or San Jose put you in the valley you are actually working in rather than north of the peninsula.
Departing Los Angeles
- VNY Van Nuys Airport The busiest general aviation airport in the country, best for the valley and the Westside
- BUR Hollywood Burbank Airport Fast access to the studios, Pasadena and downtown
Arriving San Francisco
- SJC Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport The practical South Bay arrival, with private terminals away from the airline side
- SQL San Carlos Airport A small peninsula field, minutes from Menlo Park and Palo Alto
Why clients charter this route
-
Avoid the two worst airports on the corridor
LAX and SFO are both delay magnets. Flying Van Nuys to San Carlos or San Jose sidesteps them completely.
-
Land in the valley you are working in
San Carlos is minutes from Menlo Park and Palo Alto. San Jose covers the South Bay. Neither involves the drive down from SFO.
-
An hour each way makes a day trip normal
Breakfast in Los Angeles, meetings on the peninsula and home for dinner is the standard pattern on this pairing.
