Picks from the numbers

Each card says how it was chosen. Estimates are one way, on the jet size each trip calls for.

“private jet san francisco” is searched about 140 times a month in the U.S. (Google search volumes (US, monthly average), DataForSEO).

Cost against time

Every route from San Francisco, 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 Francisco?

We price San Francisco from SFO (San Francisco International Airport), then OAK (Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport) and SJC (Mineta San Jose International 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 Francisco?

By our conservative range assumptions, a light jet (about 1,700 nautical miles) reaches 86 of 210 destinations, the farthest being Indianapolis; a midsize jet (about 2,000 nautical miles) reaches 113 of 210 destinations, the farthest being Charlotte; a super-midsize jet (about 3,000 nautical miles) reaches 192 of 210 destinations, the farthest being Santo Domingo; a large jet (about 4,000 nautical miles) reaches 210 of 210 destinations, the farthest being Trinidad. 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 Francisco?

Fly the smallest jet that makes the trip nonstop (a light jet covers 86 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 55m, nonstop in a light jet), Nassau (5h 55m, nonstop in a super-midsize jet) and Tortola (7h 25m, nonstop in a large 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.
