Short hop: minimums decide the bill. At about 1h 10m 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.
Rates at the entry purchase level as published, checked October 2, 2026; bigger purchases can lower them. Surf Air Mobility's terms: Surf On Demand cards: tax added, fuel included.

One-way estimates, lowest first: each company's published rate for a light jet × about 1h 10m, 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.

Turboprop: about $10,000. Very light jet: about $9,700. Midsize jet: about $10,700. Super-midsize jet: about $13,400. Large jet: about $16,900. Ultra-long-range jet: about $18,400. At this length, minimums can decide the bill: published minimums across programs run 48 to 120 minutes a leg, so check Surf Air Mobility's. These are estimates, not quotes from Surf Air Mobility.
How does Surf Air Mobility compare with other jet cards from Orange County to San Francisco?
Among 17 published light jet figures on this route, Surf Air Mobility's Jet Card estimate is the 11th lowest, 14% above the route's median of $9,300. The spread runs from $7,300 to $12,600. 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 Surf Air Mobility estimate include tax and fuel?
Per Surf Air Mobility's published terms, tax is added on top of the rate, and 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 Orange County to San Francisco?
About 1h 10m on a light jet, nonstop, for 372 miles great-circle, by our speed and range assumptions. Winds and routing move the real time.
