Route overview

Private flights from San Francisco to Aspen

A Bay Area-to-mountain route connecting San Francisco with Aspen's ski destination, flown nonstop in a light jet.

Private flights from San Francisco to Aspen take about two hours nonstop, depending on the aircraft, winds, and air-traffic routing. The route connects Northern California with one of Colorado's premier ski destinations, without the connections and layovers of commercial travel during peak season.

Departures run from SFO, the region's major international airport with extensive private-jet facilities, into Aspen/Pitkin County, a scenic but demanding mountain airport suited to experienced crews and larger aircraft. A light jet is well matched to both the distance and the terrain.

What to know before you fly

A light jet is recommended for this route

At over 700 nautical miles with a demanding mountain approach at the destination, a light jet gives the range and performance margin this route calls for.

Winter weather can affect scheduling

Ski-season demand and mountain weather both peak in winter, so booking ahead and building some flexibility into your schedule helps avoid delays.
