What drives your New York → Los Angeles price
- Aircraft class. This 2,193 nm leg is most often flown on a super-midsize cabin ($5,200–7,600/hr). Sizing up or down a class is the single biggest swing in your final price.
- Federal excise tax. As a US domestic leg, this trip carries the 7.5% federal excise tax (FET) on air transportation, applied on top of the flight and segment fees.
- Repositioning. If no aircraft is based near New York, the operator ferries one in empty and amortizes that leg into your quote. Booking when a jet is already positioned nearby, or catching an empty leg, is where the real savings live.
- Daily minimum & timing. Short legs still bill the industry-standard ~2-hour daily minimum, and peak dates (holidays, event weekends, ski and Florida high season) tighten supply and lift rates. Midweek, off-peak dates price best.
