Las Vegas to San Francisco by class

670 km over the Sierra Nevada is an hour of block time and squarely light-jet territory. A CJ3+ or Phenom 300E out of Henderson into Hayward or Oakland skips both airline terminals and lands closer to where most passengers are actually going, which is the entire point of a sector this short.

San Francisco arrivals

HWD
Hayward Executive

A dedicated general aviation reliever in the East Bay with runways of 5,694 ft and 3,107 ft and no airline traffic. Fast on the ground and well placed for the Tri-Valley, but the runway length keeps heavy jets away.

Executive terminal facilities on the field
OAK
Oakland International

Runway 12/30 at 3,206 m plus a general aviation runway, 12 miles east of San Francisco. Often the faster arrival when SFO is holding for fog or capacity, with KaiserAir and Signature both on the north field.

FAQ

Common questions on this route

How long is the flight from Las Vegas to San Francisco by private jet?
About 1h 05m block to block on a light jet, and closer to an hour on anything larger.
What does Las Vegas to San Francisco cost?
Light jets run $11,000-15,000 one-way. Midsize aircraft are $15,000-20,000.
Which Bay Area airport should I choose?
Hayward for the East Bay and Tri-Valley on a light or midsize jet, Oakland when SFO is fogged in, SFO for the city itself, and San Jose for Palo Alto, Mountain View or Cupertino.
Can a heavy jet land at Hayward?
No. The longest runway is 5,694 ft, which keeps heavy jets out. Use Oakland, San Jose or SFO for that class.
Is fog a real problem on this route?
It affects the arrival, not the flight. Summer marine layer regularly slows SFO approaches, and operators will often file for Oakland instead on those mornings.
