OAK BFI

Private jet charter from Oakland to Seattle

The route from Oakland (OAK) to Seattle (BFI) covers approximately 1,091 km, with a median block time of 1h 51m on flights we actually tracked.

This is a moderately busy sector: 212 tracked flights in 12 months, close to 18 per month between Oakland and Seattle.

Median block time on tracked flights is 1h 51m, about 34 minutes longer than a straight distance-and-cruise-speed estimate — taxi, routing and traffic flow account for the difference.

Traffic is strongly seasonal — February carried 39 flights against 10 in November, a 3.9× swing. Expect tighter availability and firmer quotes at the peak.

No single type owns this route: the Cessna Citation CJ3 leads with 22% of movements, with the Embraer Phenom 300 and Bombardier Challenger 350 close behind, so availability across cabin classes is usually good.

Flying back from Seattle is 21 minutes slower: 2h 12m against 1h 51m on this direction, measured on tracked flights. The headwind sits on the return leg here, which is why the outbound reads shorter. Plan a there-and-back with different block times, not one figure doubled — the Seattle to Oakland leg has its own page with its own numbers.

The smallest cabin that covers 1,091 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.

Money-Saving Tips
You are billed for 1h 51m of block time on this sector, not for the 1,091 km — an aircraft based at either end saves more than a cheaper hourly rate
Ask for the Cessna Citation CJ3+ first: it is the type most often flown here, so it is the least likely to be positioned in empty
Take an empty leg if the date is flexible — repositioning flights on this direction run well below the normal rate
Compare multiple aircraft options rather than the cheapest hourly rate alone
Book 24-48 hours ahead: same-day requests pay for whatever is available, not for what fits
