Every route from San Diego, by cost and flight time

The bill is roughly hours times the rate, so cost climbs with time, and steps up where a trip needs a bigger jet. Minimums make the shortest hops cost more than their flight time.

Where do private jets fly from in San Diego?

We price San Diego from SAN (San Diego International Airport), then CRQ (McClellan-Palomar Airport), in our order of preference for a private flight. The airport changes the price and the drive, so ask about each when you book.

How far can a private jet fly nonstop from San Diego?

By our conservative range assumptions, a light jet (about 1,700 nautical miles) reaches 104 of 211 destinations, the farthest being Detroit; a midsize jet (about 2,000 nautical miles) reaches 146 of 211 destinations, the farthest being Baltimore; a super-midsize jet (about 3,000 nautical miles) reaches 202 of 211 destinations, the farthest being St Croix; a large jet (about 4,000 nautical miles) reaches 211 of 211 destinations, the farthest being Barbados. Beyond that, plan a fuel stop. Payload, winds and runway length decide it on the day.

What's the lowest-cost way to fly private from San Diego?

Fly the smallest jet that makes the trip nonstop (a light jet covers 104 of these routes), avoid peak days, and compare one-way pricing with a round trip. A jet card fixes the hourly rate ahead of time: CRAFT's is $12,950 an hour on the 25-hour card, fuel and FET included, on a Challenger 350. Empty legs and shared flights exist, but they run on someone else's schedule. No estimate here is a guaranteed price.

Yes. 64 of the routes on this page cross a border, including Los Cabos (2h 05m, nonstop in a light jet), Nassau (5h 15m, nonstop in a super-midsize jet) and Tortola (6h 50m, nonstop in a super-midsize jet).
