Detroit for private flyers: airports, seasons and events

Detroit has two busy alternatives to DTW for private flights. Oakland County International (PTK) in Waterford, north of the city, is ranked the nation's 17th busiest general aviation airport and has user-fee customs. Willow Run (YIP), west of the city, has a 24-hour tower and no scheduled airline service.

In our order of preference for a private flight; routes on this page are priced from DTW. The airport changes the price, so ask about each. Each airport's page has its runways, customs and which jets fit. “Suits” is our rule of thumb from runway length and elevation: weight, temperature and the jet's own numbers decide it on the day.

Flying from Detroit

Picks from the numbers

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

Cost against time

Every route from Detroit, 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.

One-way estimates for 213 routes from Detroit. Each dot is the middle of a route's range on the jet size it calls for. The gold line is CRAFT's super-midsize card at $12,950/hr (fuel and FET included), billed at least 2 hours a day: compare it with the super-midsize dots, not with smaller jets.

What else moves the bill (tax, minimums, peak days, repositioning) is on every route page under What the number leaves out.

Range

How far a private jet flies nonstop from Detroit

Practical ranges we assume: light 1,700 nm, midsize 2,000, super-midsize 3,000, large 4,000. Conservative on purpose; payload, winds and runway length decide it on the day.

Every route

Every private jet route from and to Detroit

One-way estimates by jet size, grouped by region, nearest first. Flight time is for the jet size each trip usually calls for; “nonstop in” is the smallest size that makes it without a stop; the clock is the time difference at the other end.

Detroit private jet charter: questions

How much does a private jet from Detroit cost?

About $6,000 to $8,000 one way to Chicago on a light jet; $12,500 to $16,000 one way to Boston on a light jet; $40,500 to $46,500 one way to Los Angeles on a midsize jet. Across all 213 destinations we price from Detroit, one-way estimates run from about $4,000 (Cleveland) to $83,000 (Anchorage). These are estimates from published jet card rates times the flight time, not quotes: minimums, peak days and airport fees change the final price.

How much is a 2-hour private jet flight from Detroit?

About $15,000 to $19,000 in a light jet, $19,000 to $21,000 in a midsize jet, $24,000 to $26,000 in a super-midsize jet, $29,000 to $33,000 in a large jet: two hours times the published hourly rates, before minimums. About two hours from Detroit: Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket and Charleston.

How much is a private jet from Detroit to Las Vegas?

About $36,500 to $41,500 one way on a midsize jet, 3 hours 55 minutes nonstop for 1,745 miles. A round trip on different days is about twice that. An estimate from published rates, not a quote.

How much is a private jet from Detroit to Chicago?

About $6,000 to $8,000 one way on a light jet, 50 minutes nonstop for 228 miles. A round trip on different days is about twice that. An estimate from published rates, not a quote.

Where do private jets fly from in Detroit?

We price Detroit from DTW (Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport), then PTK (Oakland County International Airport) and YIP (Willow Run 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 Detroit?

By our conservative range assumptions, a light jet (about 1,700 nautical miles) reaches 169 of 213 destinations, the farthest being Orange County; a midsize jet (about 2,000 nautical miles) reaches 199 of 213 destinations, the farthest being Bonaire; a super-midsize jet (about 3,000 nautical miles) reaches 208 of 213 destinations, the farthest being Anchorage; a large jet (about 4,000 nautical miles) reaches 213 of 213 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 Detroit?

Fly the smallest jet that makes the trip nonstop (a light jet covers 169 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; compare cards within one jet size. For a super-midsize jet, 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 Detroit to Mexico or the Caribbean?

Yes. 64 of the routes on this page cross a border, including Los Cabos (4h 25m, nonstop in a midsize jet), Nassau (2h 50m, nonstop in a light jet) and Tortola (4h 25m, 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.

Which Detroit-area airport do private jets use most?

Oakland County International (PTK) is Michigan's second-busiest airport after DTW and ranks 17th nationally among general aviation airports. It is in Waterford, north of the city.

Can I clear customs on a private flight into Detroit?

Yes. PTK has user-fee customs on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., YIP offers customs with an hour's notice, and DTW is an international airport of entry.
