About $5,500 to $7,000 one way to Managua on a light jet; $25,000 to $28,000 one way to Miami on a midsize jet; $32,500 to $37,000 one way to Houston on a midsize jet. Across all 213 destinations we price from San José, one-way estimates run from about $4,000 (Guanacaste) to $176,000 (Anchorage). These are estimates from published jet card rates times the flight time, not quotes: minimums, peak days and airport fees change the final price.
How much is a 2-hour private jet flight from San José?
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 José: Grand Cayman, Montego Bay and Kingston.
How much is a private jet from San José to Las Vegas?
About $67,000 to $74,000 one way on a super-midsize jet, 5 hours 40 minutes nonstop for 2,646 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 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; 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.
