Aspen to Chicago Private Jet Flights
Private Jet Charter provides on-demand private flights between Aspen and Chicago. Chicago’s finance, law and commodities firms have long sent partners and clients to Aspen, and many Chicago families keep second homes in the Roaring Fork Valley.
Most trips start in Chicago and head west, peaking in ski season from December through March. Summer brings a second wave for the Aspen Ideas Festival in June and for the valley’s music and hiking season. Return trips run on Sundays after a weekend or at the end of a holiday week. Business demand holds through the year.
With a private jet rental, you leave on your own schedule and skip the terminal queues at both ends. A private jet charter from Aspen to Chicago also takes you in and out of the small airport in the valley itself.

Aspen to Chicago is about 890 nautical miles. The light jet Embraer Phenom 300E comes closest to its limit on this leg, because a full load at Aspen's altitude cuts its margin. The midsize jets, the Citation XLS and the Hawker 800XP/900XP, have more room, and the larger categories give the most.
The Aspen departure is the variable that matters. The airport sits at about 7,800 feet, so heat and a full cabin on a summer afternoon reduce takeoff performance. Book a super midsize jet, either the Citation Latitude or the Bombardier Challenger 350, for the best margin on that takeoff without paying for more aircraft than you need. The large jet Bombardier Challenger 650 has more margin still.
For the December to March ski peak, book the super midsize category furthest ahead.

Round-Trip Private Jet Charter Between Aspen and Chicago
The prices in the table are one-way. For the super midsize jet I recommend, a same-day return is workable at the flight time shown there. A full day on the ground still makes for a long day, so plan an overnight if you need an evening or a full day of meetings.
If you stay a night or more, the aircraft and crew can wait for you, and the crew’s hotel and daily expenses for each night go into the round-trip quote. The other option is to send the aircraft home and have it return for you, which adds two positioning flights. On a leg this long, one or two nights usually tips toward waiting. A longer stay shifts the balance toward sending the aircraft home. Include your return date when you request a quote.
