15 of the 16 aircraft we quote for San Diego to San Antonio use both airfields and fly it non-stop. The exception is the Embraer Phenom 100EV, 88 km short after reserves on a 1,814 km leg — it would need a fuel stop. San Diego International Airport has 9,401 ft and San Antonio International Airport 8,505 ft, both comfortably beyond the 6,000 ft the largest types here need, so field length is not what decides the aircraft on this route — cabin size and range are.
