Private jet charter to and from Hawaii
Hawaii is about five and a half hours from Los Angeles by jet, over open ocean the whole way. Only super midsize jets and larger fly it nonstop with a full cabin, so the aircraft choice matters here more than almost anywhere. Your private jet to Hawaii can leave from any airport, and one way prices start at $23,800.
Honolulu, Maui and the Big Island each have an airport for business jets. Between the islands, a turboprop hop takes 30 to 45 minutes.
