Private jet charter from Chicago to Miami
The route from Chicago (MDW) to Miami (MIA) covers approximately 1,905 km, with a median block time of 3h 19m on flights we actually tracked.
Traffic between Chicago and Miami is thin — 38 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 3h 19m, about 65 minutes longer than a straight distance-and-cruise-speed estimate — taxi, routing and traffic flow account for the difference.
No single type owns this route: the Embraer Phenom 300 leads with 21% of movements, with the Cessna Citation Longitude and Bombardier Challenger 350 close behind, so availability across cabin classes is usually good.
Flying back from Miami is 34 minutes slower: 3h 53m against 3h 19m on this direction, measured on tracked flights. The headwind sits on the return leg here, which is why the outbound reads shorter. Plan a there-and-back with different block times, not one figure doubled — the Miami to Chicago leg has its own page with its own numbers.
The smallest cabin that covers 1,905 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.
