About these prices and flight statistics

Indicative prices cover the whole aircraft for a one-way flight. EUR estimates calculated on 1 October 2026. A final quotation is required for your itinerary. Understand private jet charter pricing ↗

Every quote from LunaJets is a fixed, all-inclusive price covering crew, fuel, and landing fees, with no hidden charges.

Activity data source: LunaJets analysis of ADS-B flight tracking data from January to December 2025. Contains information from adsb.lol, made available under the Open Database License (ODbL).

How guide prices are calculated

Guide prices: These indicative charter prices are generated by the LunaJets pricing model using historical charter quotations. Prices may be based on an aircraft family represented by the model shown. These estimates use a reference travel date and may differ for your chosen dates. A final quotation is required for your itinerary, travel date and aircraft availability.

EUR pricing estimates: Calculated on 1 October 2026.

Exchange rates checked on 8 October 2026. Reference rates dated 7 October 2026: 1 EUR = 1.1177 USD, 0.84645 GBP, 0.9309 CHF and 4.10475325 AED. Guide prices are rounded down to the nearest 100 units of the displayed currency. ECB UAE central bank

Aircraft selection and estimated flight times

Aircraft selection: The five aircraft models displayed for each route are the most frequently used on that route in the flight records. Flights across the cities’ main airports are combined when selecting them.

Estimated flight times: Flight times are calculated estimates based on route distance, aircraft performance and recorded durations for the same aircraft model or comparable flights. Times are rounded to the nearest 5 minutes and may vary with routing and operating conditions. Flight-time calibration uses records from 2020 through October 2026.

Flight activity: sources and methodology

Activity methodology: LunaJets filters and enriches the recorded flights by matching them to airports, cities and aircraft categories, then aggregating them. Figures cover 1 January to 31 December 2025. The figures include private and business jets, VIP aircraft and turboprops. Helicopters and scheduled airline flights are excluded. The data was generated on 14 October 2026. This generation date is separate from the activity year.

Definitions: A private aviation movement is one recorded departure or arrival at an airport serving a city. A flight between San Francisco and another city counts once in San Francisco’s route total, whether arriving or departing. A return flight counts as a separate movement. A connected city is a distinct city with at least one qualifying private aviation flight to or from San Francisco during 2025. The connected-city count covers the routes included in this dataset, not just those displayed in the table.

Busiest periods: Busiest periods identify a significant seasonal concentration in recorded movements in both directions during 2025. Isolated spikes are filtered out. Year-round means no qualifying seasonal concentration was identified, although activity can vary between months. A classification requires at least 30 annual movements, 99% statistical significance and an average monthly activity rate at least 1.75 times the rest of the year. Single-month periods also require recurrence checks using January to August 2026 records.

What is the best airport for private flights to and from San Francisco?

San Francisco International Airport (SFO/KSFO) acts as a primary corridor to Silicon Valley and the Bay Area. Located 21 km from downtown, it gives private jet travelers immediate access to major tech and finance headquarters. The airport’s high-end FBOs and efficient customs make it a critical hub for corporate flights.
