By our conservative range assumptions, a light jet (about 1,700 nautical miles) reaches 95 of 210 destinations, the farthest being Destin; a midsize jet (about 2,000 nautical miles) reaches 131 of 210 destinations, the farthest being Daytona Beach; a super-midsize jet (about 3,000 nautical miles) reaches 194 of 210 destinations, the farthest being Punta Cana; a large jet (about 4,000 nautical miles) reaches 210 of 210 destinations, the farthest being Barbados.

What's the lowest-cost way to fly private from Santa Barbara?

Fly the smallest jet that makes the trip nonstop (a light jet covers 95 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.
