How much does a private jet from San Francisco to Lake Tahoe cost?
It’s important to keep in mind that the cost of a private plane from San Francisco to Lake Tahoe can vary based on a number of factors. On average, though, the cost of a charter for this trip begins at $3,800 and can climb as high as $20,000. This variation in price occurs because the size of aircraft plays a large role in the pricing. Since it’s such a short distance, the most affordable aircraft is a turboprop or very light jet.
