    Why Private

    What makes this route different.

    01
    The direction with the most empty legs

    Aircraft that bring passengers to Cabo have to return to the centre. With flexible dates, substantial discounts.

    02
    Night returns, no curfew

    MMTO operates 24 hours, so you can use the full last day before flying.

    03
    Departure from the FBO

    No commercial terminals. Arrive 20 minutes ahead and your bags load while you sit.

    04
    Sports gear checked first

    We confirm space for golf bags and fishing rods in the quote, not on the ramp.

    Cost

    What determines the cost of a Los Cabos → Toluca charter?

    In this direction the corridor is unbalanced in your favour: plenty of aircraft arrive in Cabo with passengers and have to return to the centre. That return is what generates empty legs, which is why a one-way Los Cabos–Toluca can price better than the same leg in reverse.

    01
    Aircraft category

    The single biggest driver. The right categories for this leg are light and midsize jets: the gap between them isn't only cabin size but speed, baggage volume and range. A light and a midsize jet on the same route can differ by 60% in price.

    02
    Distance and block time

    The leg runs ≈ 1,530 km with a typical 2h 00m in the air. Charter is priced on occupied flight hours, and daily utilization minimums plus crew duty limits still apply even on a short hop.

    03
    One way vs round trip

    A round trip that keeps the aircraft with you usually prices better per hour than two one-ways. A one-way Los Cabos → Toluca may mean the aircraft flies home empty, and that leg shows up in the rate.

    04
    Positioning (ferry)

    The movement of the aircraft before pickup or after drop-off. If the right aircraft isn't based in Los Cabos, or is committed elsewhere after landing in Toluca, that repositioning enters the cost. It's exactly why empty legs exist: someone already paid for that leg.

    05
    Season and demand

    Availability rules price. Through October through May, peaking at Christmas and Easter the fleet commits weeks ahead and the rate stops being negotiable. Firm dates booked early widen your aircraft options.

    06
    Handling, FBO and fees

    Landing, ramp, FBO handling, catering and crew overnight where applicable. Small next to the flight hour, but they vary by airport and are always itemized in the quote — nothing appears afterward.

    Why the return from Baja is the efficient half

    Private aviation flow into Los Cabos concentrates on the outbound: Fridays and Saturdays full toward Baja, with aircraft that then have to return to base in central or northern Mexico. That imbalance is exactly what produces empty legs.

    For anyone returning with flexible dates, it's the clearest opportunity in the catalogue. We publish live availability and message you on WhatsApp when a leg matches your route and dates.

    Departing MMSD, Cabo San Lucas or La Paz

    San José del Cabo (MMSD) is the main field, with a full FBO, and the only one in the area with customs and immigration. It's 20 minutes from the tourist corridor and about 40 from Cabo San Lucas.

    Cabo San Lucas (MMSL) is closer to the marina but has a shorter runway, so aircraft category rules. La Paz (MMLP) serves the northern peninsula. We confirm the departure field based on the assigned aircraft and where your stay ends.

    Arrival at Toluca and transfers

    The flight lands at Toluca (MMTO), where Mexico City metro business aviation operates. AICM keeps slot restrictions that in practice shut out on-demand private charter.

    From the FBO it's 35 to 45 minutes to Santa Fe, 40 to 50 to Interlomas and about an hour to Polanco and Lomas. MMTO operates 24 hours, so a night return has no curfew — useful when you want to close out the full last day on the beach.
