Chicago to Phoenix Private Jet Flights
Private Jet Charter provides on-demand private flights between Chicago and Phoenix. Chicago’s finance, manufacturing and healthcare firms do business with Phoenix’s semiconductor, real estate and medical sectors, and the two metro areas trade executives and clients all year.
Most trips start in Chicago. Business travel runs through the year with no fixed season. Leisure demand is strongest from February through April, when Chicago families head for the winter sun, golf and Cactus League spring training in the Valley. Returns to Chicago bunch up at the end of that stretch and after long weekends.
Flying the airlines means a terminal, a security line and a fixed departure time. When you book private jet charter from Chicago to Phoenix through our private jet charter services, you choose the departure time and the airport. You can pick one at each end that sits near your meetings or your resort, not near a hub.

Empty Leg Flights to Phoenix
Enquire NowMost Popular Aircraft to Fly Between Chicago and Phoenix
Chicago to Phoenix is about 1,260 nautical miles, a long leg for the smaller cabins. The light jet Embraer Phenom 300E and the midsize jets Citation XLS and Hawker 800XP/900XP come closest to their range limit here.
Any of the three may need a fuel stop. That is most likely westbound into winter headwinds, or eastbound out of Phoenix with a full cabin on a hot afternoon.
Of the two super midsize jets, the Citation X is the faster. Book the Bombardier Challenger 350 for most trips, because it flies the leg nonstop in both directions. The large jet Bombardier Challenger 650 also covers the distance nonstop.
For the February to April peak, book the super midsize category furthest ahead.

Round-Trip Private Jet Charter Between Chicago and Phoenix
The prices in the table are one-way. In a super midsize jet, a same-day return works if your Phoenix business is a morning meeting. At that flight time, a full day on the ground is long, so stay overnight if you need more than a few hours.
For a stay of a night or more, you have two options. The aircraft and crew can wait, and the crew’s hotel and daily expenses for each night go into the round-trip quote. Or the aircraft can leave and return for your trip home, which adds two positioning flights, each as long as this leg. On a leg this long, one or two nights usually favors waiting. A longer stay tips the choice toward sending the aircraft home. Include your return date when you request a quote.
