Short hop: minimums decide the bill. At about 1h 00m a leg, a program may bill more time than you fly. Published minimums run 48 to 120 minutes a leg, and some programs bill per day; these figures are flight time × rate, before any minimum.

One-way estimates, lowest first: each company's published rate for a light jet × about 1h 00m, on the same basis as CRAFT's rate: the 7.5% FET added where the company adds tax or doesn't state it, and a fuel surcharge of $300 an hour where one applies but isn't published (the low end of the $300–$800 we use), before minimums and fees. CRAFT publishes this page and sells the Fleet Jet Card; it sits where its estimate falls. Sources for every rate are on the jet card rate board.

Jettly, Los Angeles to San Francisco: questions
How much does Jettly cost from Los Angeles to San Francisco?
About $7,200 one way, or $14,400 round trip, on a light jet (Category rate), estimated as about 1h 00m of flying × Jettly's published $6,618 an hour, plus 7.5% FET added by us (its rate page doesn't state tax). Turboprop: about $7,700. Midsize jet: about $8,700. Super-midsize jet: about $11,300. Large jet: about $15,400. At this length, minimums can decide the bill: published minimums across programs run 48 to 120 minutes a leg, so check Jettly's. These are estimates, not quotes from Jettly.
How does Jettly compare with other jet cards from Los Angeles to San Francisco?
Among 17 published light jet figures on this route, Jettly's Category rate estimate is the 2nd lowest, 13% below the route's median of $8,300. The spread runs from $6,500 to $11,300. CRAFT's Fleet Jet Card is super-midsize only, so it isn't in this light jet comparison; its estimate is with the super-midsize figures on the route page. Estimates use each company's own published rate as of the date shown, on the same tax and fuel basis, before minimums, fees and surcharges.
Does the Jettly estimate include tax and fuel?
Per Jettly's published terms, the rate page doesn't say whether tax is included, and it doesn't say whether fuel is included. To compare like for like with rates that include fuel and tax, we add the 7.5% federal excise tax where a company says it's extra or doesn't say, and a fuel surcharge of $300 an hour (the low end of the $300–$800 range we use) where it adds one without publishing the amount; nothing for fuel where it doesn't say fuel is extra. Airport fees, the segment tax, peak days and repositioning can add to any of these figures.
How long is a private flight from Los Angeles to San Francisco?
About 1h 00m on a light jet, nonstop, for 321 miles great-circle, by our speed and range assumptions. Winds and routing move the real time.
