Private jet charter from Denver to Phoenix
The route from Denver (APA) to Phoenix (PHX) covers approximately 935 km, with a median block time of 1h 44m on flights we actually tracked.
175 private flights from Denver to Phoenix were tracked over the last 12 months — around 15 a month, a steady but not saturated sector.
Median block time on tracked flights is 1h 44m, about 38 minutes longer than a straight distance-and-cruise-speed estimate — taxi, routing and traffic flow account for the difference.
Traffic is strongly seasonal — December carried 27 flights against 6 in October, a 4.5× swing. Expect tighter availability and firmer quotes at the peak.
The Cessna Citation CJ3 dominates the route, accounting for 36% of tracked movements, followed by the Embraer Phenom 300 and the Cessna Citation Latitude — a useful sanity check when a broker offers you something much larger or much older.
Denver sits at 5,885 ft (1,794 m) above sea level. Thin air stretches the take-off run, so operators trim payload or fuel on warm days — one reason quotes from here read higher than the distance suggests.
Flying back from Phoenix is 12 minutes quicker: 1h 32m against 1h 44m on this direction, measured on tracked flights. Winds aloft run west to east at these latitudes, so the eastbound leg rides the jet stream and the westbound one fights it. Plan a there-and-back with different block times, not one figure doubled — the Phoenix to Denver leg has its own page with its own numbers.
The smallest cabin that covers 935 km without a fuel stop is the very light jet at $1,500-4,500 an hour, and the type most often quoted here is the Bombardier Challenger 350. How the hourly rate turns into a total is set out in the private jet cost guide, and if the dates are loose it is worth checking empty leg flights on this direction first.
