Summer Private Jet Destinations from San Diego – 2025 Travel Trends

With its world-class weather and active luxury market, San Diego continues to grow as a top departure city for private jet travel. Summer 2025 is shaping up to be one of the busiest seasons yet for elite flyers departing from Southern California.

Top Summer Destinations from San Diego

  • Los Cabos, MX – San Diego’s proximity to Mexico makes Cabo the top short-hop international getaway this summer. Flights in light and midsize jets are popular among weekend travelers and wedding parties.
  • Las Vegas & Scottsdale – Desert retreats are booming, with private jets flying nonstop for events, golf trips, and luxury spa weekends.
  • New York & Miami – Bi-coastal travel continues to dominate. Executives and entertainers favor super-midsize aircraft for the nonstop luxury experience.
  • Jackson Hole & Aspen – Charter bookings spike in July for mountain escapes, often including multi-stop itineraries and extended stays.
  • Vancouver & Hawaii – For those seeking international or island experiences, Hawaii and Canada are trending with bookings for families and group travelers.

Preferred Departure Points

Most private flights depart from San Diego International Airport’s Signature Flight Support or McClellan-Palomar Airport (CRQ) in Carlsbad. Charter clients frequently request Phenom 300, Citation XLS+, and Gulfstream G280 aircraft for comfort and performance.

Emerging Summer Booking Trends

Travelers are taking advantage of empty leg deals, one-way pricing, and personalized travel planning for last-minute summer escapes. Multi-family and multi-stop itineraries are also gaining momentum among San Diego’s high-net-worth travelers.
