Itinerary
Why fly private to Los Cabos
SJD's executive terminal is separate from the commercial terminals, with Mexican customs and immigration on site. Arrivals in December and spring break, when the main terminals are crowded, stay quick and private.
December is the busiest month in Los Cabos for US travelers, with year-end gatherings, family holidays and New Year's Eve at the Corridor resorts. Aircraft for late December go early, so many clients book by early autumn.
The Corridor resorts, from Palmilla and Las Ventanas to Chileno Bay, are 10 to 25 minutes from SJD. With a car waiting at the aircraft, you can be at your villa soon after landing.
Cabo San Lucas is one of the best-known sport fishing ports in the eastern Pacific, with marlin, tuna and dorado offshore. Flying private lets you plan a short trip around early boat departures.
Villa estates in Pedregal and along the Corridor suit families and groups who want space and privacy. We coordinate the flight, the villa and staff on request so the arrival is simple.

Typical drive times: Palmilla about 10 minutes, Las Ventanas and Chileno Bay about 15, Cabo San Lucas and the marina about 40. Cabo San Lucas International (CSL), a smaller private airport closer to town, can be an option for some aircraft; we confirm which suits your trip.
Flying home or onward from Los Cabos

Sunday evenings in season, the days after Christmas and the first days of January are the tightest departure windows, so we confirm your return when we book the outbound.
