One-way estimates, lowest first: each company's published rate for a midsize jet × about 2h 45m, 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.

Jettly, Miami to Chicago: questions
How much does Jettly cost from Miami to Chicago?
About $24,800 one way, or $49,600 round trip, on a midsize jet (Category rate), estimated as about 2h 45m of flying × Jettly's published $8,443 an hour, plus 7.5% FET added by us (its rate page doesn't state tax). Turboprop: about $23,800. Light jet: about $20,800. Super-midsize jet: about $32,000. Large jet: about $43,200. These are estimates, not quotes from Jettly.
How does Jettly compare with other jet cards from Miami to Chicago?
Among 15 published midsize jet figures on this route, Jettly's Category rate estimate is the 3rd lowest, 10% below the route's median of $27,500. The spread runs from $22,900 to $35,000. CRAFT's Fleet Jet Card is super-midsize only, so it isn't in this midsize 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 Jettly estimate include tax and fuel?
Per Jettly's published terms, the rate page doesn't say whether tax is included, and it doesn't say whether 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 Miami to Chicago?
About 2h 45m on a midsize jet, nonstop, for 1,177 miles great-circle, by our speed and range assumptions. Winds and routing move the real time.
