About this flight

Leave Van Nuys for Santa Maria by private jet and exchange the pace of Los Angeles for California’s relaxed Central Coast. This autumn route brings you closer to Santa Maria Valley vineyards, coastal scenery and the laid-back communities surrounding the region. November offers a lovely moment to savour seasonal food, explore local wine country and enjoy the softer light across rolling hills. Whether you are planning a vineyard retreat, visiting friends or heading towards the coast, arriving by air makes the transition feel wonderfully seamless.

The Cessna Citation X is a heavy jet celebrated for its speed and refined approach to private travel. With seating for 12 passengers, its cabin gives a group room to settle in, enjoy conversation and travel together away from the bustle of a scheduled service. The aircraft’s performance is particularly appealing when you want to keep even a short journey streamlined and focused on your destination. A private cabin also makes it easy to switch from working plans to a more leisurely frame of mind before landing in Santa Maria.

This empty leg is an inviting charter opportunity for travellers whose plans align with an aircraft already flying from Van Nuys to Santa Maria. It combines the independence of private aviation with a convenient route into one of California’s most appealing autumn landscapes.

All went very well! Already planning next year's trip — might need a bigger jet for eight of us next time.
