Private Jet Charter Across San Diego County

San Diego is one of the fastest-growing private aviation markets in Southern California. Whether the trip is a quick hop to Las Vegas, a ski run to Aspen, or a direct flight to Hawaii, TruNorth Jets sources the right aircraft from vetted operators across all six San Diego area private terminals.

  1. 01

    Six San Diego Departure Airports

    SAN (Lindbergh) for international and large-group flights. MYF (Montgomery Field) for executive charters and cost-effective routing. SDM, RNM, CRQ, and SEE provide flexibility in departure times, aircraft selection, and crew positioning.

San Diego Charter

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the cheapest charter option from San Diego?
Light jets (4–6 passengers) to nearby destinations like LA, Vegas, or Phoenix. These typically run $9,500–$12,000 one-way. Midsize jets offer better comfort and longer range; heavy jets ($43,500+) for transcontinental or larger groups.
How far in advance do I need to book?
No minimum. We handle same-day bookings. Call or email before 3pm and get a quote within 2–4 hours. For peak seasons (Thanksgiving, Christmas, spring training) or specific aircraft requests, 7–14 days is ideal.
Which San Diego airport should I use?
SAN (Lindbergh) is the main option if you're downtown or meeting passengers. MYF (Montgomery Field) is quieter and faster if you're in the Kearny Mesa area. SDM (Brown Field) works well for south county departures. We'll recommend the best option based on your location and aircraft choice.
Can I fly to Hawaii from San Diego?
Yes, but requires a heavy jet (G450, Falcon 7X, or similar) due to distance (~5.5 hours) and extended overwater regulations. These flights cost more (about $94,500+ one-way) but eliminate commercial airline hassle, connections, and airport time.
Do you handle international flights (Cabo, Puerto Vallarta)?
Absolutely. We manage all cross-border coordination — customs, immigration, Mexican overflight permits. You just show your passport and board. Flights to Cabo (~2.5 hrs) or Puerto Vallarta (~2.5 hrs) are straightforward with midsize or heavy jets.
What if I don't know how many passengers yet?
No problem. We quote based on your destination and rough group size. If your party grows or shrinks, we adjust the aircraft. We'll hold an option (usually 12–24 hours) at no charge while you confirm details.
Are pets allowed on flights?
Yes. Small pets (dogs, cats) travel in cabin at no extra charge. Larger animals may require special handling or crating. Let us know upfront so we coordinate with your pilot and crew. Service animals always welcome.
What's included in the charter price?
Everything: aircraft, crew, fuel, landing fees, ground handling, basic catering (water, snacks). Extras: specialty catering, ground transportation, concierge services. We quote all-in — no surprises at the end.
