One-way estimates, lowest first: each company's published rate for a light jet × about 2h 05m, on the same basis as CRAFT's rate: the 7.5% FET added where the company adds tax or doesn't state it, and a fuel surcharge of $300 an hour where one applies but isn't published (the low end of the $300–$800 we use), before minimums and fees. CRAFT publishes this page and sells the Fleet Jet Card; it sits where its estimate falls. Sources for every rate are on the jet card rate board.

Stratos Jets, Dallas to Chicago: questions
How much does Stratos Jets cost from Dallas to Chicago?
About $21,600 one way, or $43,100 round trip, on a light jet (SOAR HIGHER · e.g. CJ3, Lear 40), estimated as about 2h 05m of flying × Stratos Jets's published $9,694 an hour, plus 7.5% FET added by us (its rate page doesn't state tax). Midsize jet: about $21,400. Super-midsize jet: about $27,100. Large jet: about $30,300. These are estimates, not quotes from Stratos Jets.
How does Stratos Jets compare with other jet cards from Dallas to Chicago?
Among 17 published light jet figures on this route, Stratos Jets's SOAR HIGHER estimate is the 16th lowest, 27% above the route's median of $17,000. The spread runs from $13,300 to $23,100. CRAFT's Fleet Jet Card is super-midsize only, so it isn't in this light jet comparison; its estimate is with the super-midsize figures on the route page. Estimates use each company's own published rate as of the date shown, on the same tax and fuel basis, before minimums, fees and surcharges.
Does the Stratos Jets estimate include tax and fuel?
Per Stratos Jets's published terms, the rate page doesn't say whether tax is included, and fuel is included. To compare like for like with rates that include fuel and tax, we add the 7.5% federal excise tax where a company says it's extra or doesn't say, and a fuel surcharge of $300 an hour (the low end of the $300–$800 range we use) where it adds one without publishing the amount; nothing for fuel where it doesn't say fuel is extra. Airport fees, the segment tax, peak days and repositioning can add to any of these figures.
How long is a private flight from Dallas to Chicago?
About 2h 05m on a light jet, nonstop, for 794 miles great-circle, by our speed and range assumptions. Winds and routing move the real time.
