The San José – Saint-Tropez route is among the most requested by the private operators in our international network. San Jose Mineta is terminal d'affaires au cœur de la Silicon Valley, which allows an aircraft to be positioned quickly whenever a slot frees up.
With 9,653 km of great-circle distance, the route naturally falls into the ultra long range category: here a Dassault Falcon 8X, 10 h 54 of flying, 14 seats in club configuration.
Demand is not linear: trade shows, holiday periods and major sporting events concentrate movements and make slots scarce. Conversely, mid-week lulls multiply empty return flights. It is precisely in these windows that the best quotes appear on this route.
An empty leg is the repositioning of an aircraft after a mission. The operator already bears the fuel cost, crew and fees: reselling the segment at €104,300 rather than flying it empty remains rational for them. The trade-off is simple: the time window is narrow and the offer disappears as soon as a full charter is confirmed on the same aircraft.
This segment is advertised for departure this weekend. On a route such as San José – Saint-Tropez, the average lifespan of a repositioning offer is measured in hours, not days. A request submitted before midday typically receives an operator confirmation the same day, subject to crew availability and slot allocation.
The Dassault Falcon 8X generally accepts cabin and hold luggage for all 14 seats, within limits specific to each airframe. Ski equipment, golf clubs, fragile instruments or pets in the cabin: mention it in your request, and the operator will confirm feasibility before any firm booking.
Departure takes place from the San Jose Mineta FBO: vehicle parking at the foot of the aircraft, document checks within minutes, a private lounge for accompanying guests. At Saint-Tropez, La Môle - Saint-Tropez follows the same approach. Allow twenty minutes before block time; luggage is loaded into the hold while you're already on board.
About 10 h 54 of block time for 9,653 km, excluding taxi delays. Add around twenty minutes of departure formalities and five to ten minutes on arrival.
Technically, a departure can be arranged in four to six hours if an aircraft and crew are available. In practice, confirming twenty-four hours ahead secures slots at San José and Saint-Tropez much more reliably.
For the whole aircraft. The 14 seats of the Dassault Falcon 8X are included in the stated amount: the cost per passenger falls automatically as more travellers board.
