Private Flyers Departing San Diego for the Holidays

November is a peak month for private jet travel from San Diego, with travelers escaping early winter weather elsewhere and preparing for Thanksgiving getaways. Local terminals such as Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport and Carlsbad’s McClellan-Palomar Airport are reporting a strong rise in charter activity, signaling a record holiday season for 2025.

Top Private Jet Destinations from San Diego

San Diego flyers are booking a mix of mountain and tropical routes this month. Popular winter-ski getaways include Aspen, Jackson Hole, and Lake Tahoe, while sunseekers are heading to Cabo San Lucas, Maui, and Palm Springs. For quick business trips or weekend breaks, Las Vegas and Scottsdale continue to be top short-range choices.

Why More Travelers Are Choosing Private Charter This November

With commercial flight delays and crowded airports expected around Thanksgiving, private jet travel offers San Diego residents a stress-free alternative. Flyers appreciate the flexibility to depart on their own schedule, travel directly to smaller regional airports, and enjoy privacy with family or colleagues onboard. Many travelers are also pairing remote work with extended holiday stays, making private jet flexibility even more valuable.

2025 Holiday Travel Trends from Southern California

Regional charter operators note that large-cabin jets are being booked earlier this year for Mexico and Hawaii routes. At the same time, light and mid-size jets—like the Citation XLS and Hawker 800XP—remain the preferred aircraft for domestic destinations such as Aspen and Sun Valley. Demand for Thanksgiving week is particularly strong, with many departures scheduled between November 22–27.

Plan Ahead to Secure the Best Holiday Options

With private jet demand expected to peak before Thanksgiving, travelers are encouraged to reserve flights early to lock in preferred schedules and aircraft. Planning ahead ensures smoother logistics and avoids last-minute rate increases during the busiest travel period of the year.
