About this flight

This empty leg charter flies a private jet up California's coastline from San Diego to San Francisco, linking two of the state's most distinctive cities in a single short hop. The route passes over some of America's most recognisable coastal scenery, offering a far more scenic and efficient alternative to the busy Interstate 5 corridor or crowded commercial terminals. September marks a favourite travel month along this route, as San Francisco's famously cool summer fog lifts into some of its clearest, warmest weeks of the year. Both San Diego International and San Francisco's private aviation facilities offer swift, low-hassle arrivals well away from the congestion of major commercial terminals.

The Citation Ultra operating this leg is a light jet suited to quick point-to-point travel along the West Coast, carrying up to seven passengers in a comfortable, private cabin. Its efficient performance and short runway requirements make it ideal for California's shorter regional routes, while still delivering the cabin comfort and privacy expected of private jet charter. Passengers benefit from a quiet, pressurised cabin, generous window views along the coast, and swift boarding without the queues of commercial travel. The Ultra remains a popular choice for executives and leisure travellers moving between California's major hubs.

Because the aircraft must reposition from San Diego to San Francisco regardless of bookings, this empty leg presents a genuine opportunity to fly this coastal route privately on a fixed date. It offers all the benefits of light jet charter along one of California's most scenic corridors. Travellers with flexible September plans stand to gain a fast, private alternative to a full day of commercial travel.

All went very well! Already planning next year's trip — might need a bigger jet for eight of us next time.
