SAN SJD

Private jet charter from San Diego to San Jose del Cabo

The route from San Diego (SAN) to San Jose del Cabo (SJD) covers approximately 1,293 km, about 2h 39m nonstop by private jet.

We did not observe a regular nonstop pattern between San Diego and San Jose del Cabo over the last 12 months, so this sector is normally flown ad hoc. Departure-end activity is solid though: 12,272 business aircraft movements were tracked at San Diego, around 1,023 a month.

Aircraft based at or passing through San Diego are led by the Embraer Phenom 300 and the Cessna Citation Latitude, with an average build year of 2012 — that is the pool a charter for this route is most likely to come from.

Departures from San Diego are weekday-led (59% of movements Monday to Thursday) — the classic sign of a business field, where weekend positioning is often available at short notice.

The smallest cabin that covers 1,293 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.
