DCA SAT

Private jet charter from Washington to San Antonio

The route from Washington (DCA) to San Antonio (SAT) covers approximately 2,219 km, about 4h 12m nonstop by private jet.

At the arrival end, San Antonio recorded 20,889 tracked movements over the same period (about 1,741 a month), most often the Pilatus PC-12.

The leg runs west for 2,219 km: 2h 37m of cruise, 4h 12m gate to gate once taxi, climb and descent are counted. That block time, not the distance, is what the quote is written against.

San Antonio runs 1 hour behind Washington, so a 09:00 departure lands at 11:07 local — worth checking against slot and curfew times at the arrival end.

The smallest cabin that covers 2,219 km without a fuel stop is the very light jet at $1,500-4,500 an hour, and the type most often quoted here is the Bombardier Challenger 350. How the hourly rate turns into a total is set out in the private jet cost guide, and if the dates are loose it is worth checking empty leg flights on this direction first.
