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.

Sentient Jet, San Francisco to Orange County: questions

How much does Sentient Jet cost from San Francisco to Orange County?

About $9,200 one way, or $18,500 round trip, on a light jet (SJ25), estimated as about 1h 10m of flying × Sentient Jet's published $7,324 an hour, plus a fuel surcharge estimated at $300 an hour (the amount isn't published), plus the 7.5% tax it says is added. Midsize jet: about $11,200. Super-midsize jet: about $13,400. Large jet: about $15,300. At this length, minimums can decide the bill: published minimums across programs run 48 to 120 minutes a leg, so check Sentient Jet's. These are estimates, not quotes from Sentient Jet.

How does Sentient Jet compare with other jet cards from San Francisco to Orange County?

Among 17 published light jet figures on this route, Sentient Jet's SJ25 estimate is the 8th lowest, 1% below 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 Sentient Jet estimate include tax and fuel?

Per Sentient Jet's published terms, tax is added on top of the rate, and a fuel surcharge is added on top. 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 San Francisco to Orange County?

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.
