San Diego for private flyers: airports, seasons and events

SAN sits next to downtown but has a departure curfew from 11:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m., so late-night departures need planning. McClellan-Palomar (CRQ) in Carlsbad is a U.S. Customs user fee airport serving North County, Del Mar and La Jolla.

    McClellan-Palomar in Carlsbad is a U.S. Customs user fee airport with a tower open 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. It asks jets not to operate between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. under a voluntary curfew, and jet parking is not allowed on the transient public ramp.Source: airnav.com

In our order of preference for a private flight; routes on this page are priced from SAN. The airport changes the price, so ask about each. Each airport's page has its runways, customs and which jets fit. “Suits” is our rule of thumb from runway length and elevation: weight, temperature and the jet's own numbers decide it on the day.

When to go

Summer is the busiest stretch, with Comic-Con in late July and the Del Mar racing season from mid-July through Labor Day. Late fall is typically quieter, aside from holiday weeks.Sources: dmtc.com, comic-con.org

Good to know before you book

  • CRQ's tower closes at 10 p.m. and the airport asks jets to observe a voluntary curfew from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.

Cost against time

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.

Across all 211 destinations we price from San Diego, one-way estimates run from about $4,500 (Los Angeles) to $128,000 (Trinidad). These are estimates from published jet card rates times the flight time, not quotes: minimums, peak days and airport fees change the final price.

About $15,000 to $19,000 in a light jet, $19,000 to $21,000 in a midsize jet, $24,000 to $26,000 in a super-midsize jet, $29,000 to $33,000 in a large jet: two hours times the published hourly rates, before minimums. About two hours from San Diego: Denver, Los Cabos and Aspen.

How much is a private jet from San Diego to Vegas?

About $6,500 to $8,500 one way on a light jet, 55 minutes nonstop for 259 miles. A round trip on different days is about twice that. An estimate from published rates, not a quote.

How much is a private jet from San Diego to Scottsdale?

About $7,500 to $9,500 one way on a light jet, 1 hour nonstop for 311 miles. A round trip on different days is about twice that. An estimate from published rates, not a quote.

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; compare cards within one jet size. For a super-midsize jet, 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.

Can I fly private from San Diego to Mexico or the Caribbean?

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). An international flight clears customs at an airport of entry and everyone needs a passport. CRAFT's card rate covers the lower 48; Caribbean, Mexico and Canada trips add repositioning at $4,000 an hour plus handling.

Can a private jet depart San Diego late at night?

Not from SAN between 11:30 p.m. and 6:30 a.m., when departures are prohibited except for limited exemptions. CRQ also asks jets to avoid operating between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.

Which airport is best for Del Mar or Carlsbad?

McClellan-Palomar (CRQ) in Carlsbad serves North County San Diego, including Del Mar. It is also a U.S. Customs user fee airport.

Can I clear customs in San Diego on a private flight?

CRQ is a U.S. Customs user fee airport, so international arrivals can clear there by arrangement.
