What we put on this leg.
Every aircraft in our Dallas fleet has the range for San Francisco nonstop — the shortest-legged jet we fly, the Embraer Phenom 300, still covers 1351 nm with reserve. For most parties we quote the Bombardier Challenger 350 or the Cessna Citation Latitude. Coast-to-coast legs like this one are super-midsize work: nonstop with a full cabin and winter winds, a flat floor, a real galley, and no fuel stop on the day that matters.
Larger groups and full-baggage trips step up to the Gulfstream G450 or Global 6000 — overkill on range for this leg, but the right call when the passenger count climbs past nine or the itinerary continues onward.
Departure: Dallas-area airports
Most San Francisco departures leave from Dallas Love Field (DAL) — fifteen minutes from downtown with the fastest turns in the Metroplex — or Addison Airport (ADS) for North Dallas, Plano and Frisco. DFW International is the pick when the trip connects off a long-haul airline arrival. Our full airport guide compares all seven.
Arrival: San Francisco
Plan on San Francisco International (SFO) for the city itself, or San Jose (SJC) when the meetings are in Silicon Valley. Your advisor confirms the FBO, cars planeside and any catering when the itinerary firms up.
