1,431 nautical miles from William P. Hobby to San Francisco Intl. 5 of our seven cabin classes make it without a fuel stop. The rest can fly it with one, and dispatch will say so up front.
What flies it
Block times include taxi, climb and approach, not just cruise. Nonstop is judged against a practical range rather than a brochure maximum, so what it says here is what dispatch can hold to.
| Cabin | Passengers | Time | HOU to SFO |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heavy Jet | 10 to 14 | 3h 15m | Nonstop |
| Super Midsize | 8 to 10 | 3h 20m | Nonstop |
| Midsize Jet | 8 to 9 | 3h 30m | Nonstop |
| Super Light Jet | 7 to 9 | 3h 30m | Nonstop |
| Light Jet | 6 to 8 | 3h 35m | Nonstop |
| Twin Turboprop | 6 to 9 | 4h 55m | One fuel stop |
| Single Turboprop | 6 to 9 | 5h 05m | One fuel stop |
A fuel stop adds roughly forty minutes on the ground. On a pair this length that is often cheaper than moving up a cabin class, and sometimes it is not. Ask and we will price both.
