Flying from Chicago

Picks from the numbers

Each card says how it was chosen. Estimates are one way, on the jet size each trip calls for.

“private jet charter chicago” is searched about 210 times a month in the U.S. (Google search volumes (US, monthly average), DataForSEO).

Cost against time

Every route from Chicago, by cost and flight time

The bill is roughly hours times the rate, so cost climbs with time, and steps up where a trip needs a bigger jet. Minimums make the shortest hops cost more than their flight time.

Where do private jets fly from in Chicago?

We price Chicago from MDW (Chicago Midway International Airport), then ORD (Chicago O'Hare International Airport), PWK (Chicago Executive Airport) and DPA (Dupage Airport), in our order of preference for a private flight. The airport changes the price and the drive, so ask about each when you book.

How far can a private jet fly nonstop from Chicago?

By our conservative range assumptions, a light jet (about 1,700 nautical miles) reaches 180 of 211 destinations, the farthest being Santo Domingo; a midsize jet (about 2,000 nautical miles) reaches 195 of 211 destinations, the farthest being Antigua; a super-midsize jet (about 3,000 nautical miles) reaches 206 of 211 destinations, the farthest being Anchorage; a large jet (about 4,000 nautical miles) reaches 211 of 211 destinations, the farthest being Kauai. Beyond that, plan a fuel stop. Payload, winds and runway length decide it on the day.

What's the lowest-cost way to fly private from Chicago?

Fly the smallest jet that makes the trip nonstop (a light jet covers 180 of these routes), avoid peak days, and compare one-way pricing with a round trip. A jet card fixes the hourly rate ahead of time: CRAFT's is $12,950 an hour on the 25-hour card, fuel and FET included, on a Challenger 350. Empty legs and shared flights exist, but they run on someone else's schedule. No estimate here is a guaranteed price.

Can I fly private from Chicago to Mexico or the Caribbean?

Yes. 64 of the routes on this page cross a border, including Los Cabos (4h 00m, nonstop in a light jet), Nassau (3h 00m, nonstop in a light jet) and Tortola (4h 35m, nonstop in a midsize jet). An international flight clears customs at an airport of entry and everyone needs a passport. CRAFT's card rate covers the lower 48; Caribbean, Mexico and Canada trips add repositioning at $4,000 an hour plus handling.
