The route from Charleston (CHS) to Chicago (MDW) covers approximately 1,199 km, with a median block time of 4h 11m on flights we actually tracked.
Traffic between Charleston and Chicago is thin — 13 private flights tracked in 12 months, so aircraft are usually positioned in from elsewhere and one-way pricing is the norm.
Median block time on tracked flights is 4h 11m, about 166 minutes longer than a straight distance-and-cruise-speed estimate — taxi, routing and traffic flow account for the difference.
The Cessna Citation Latitude dominates the route, accounting for 50% of tracked movements, followed by the Cessna Citation Sovereign and the Bombardier Challenger 350 — a useful sanity check when a broker offers you something much larger or much older.
