Picks from the numbers

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

Cost against time

Every route from San José, 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 José?

We price San José from SJO (Juan Santamaría International Airport). 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 José?

By our conservative range assumptions, a light jet (about 1,700 nautical miles) reaches 104 of 213 destinations, the farthest being Tulsa; a midsize jet (about 2,000 nautical miles) reaches 135 of 213 destinations, the farthest being Buffalo; a super-midsize jet (about 3,000 nautical miles) reaches 203 of 213 destinations, the farthest being Kelowna; a large jet (about 4,000 nautical miles) reaches 206 of 213 destinations, the farthest being Juneau. 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 José?

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.
