MDW MIA

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.

Money-Saving Tips
You are billed for 3h 19m of block time on this sector, not for the 1,905 km — an aircraft based at either end saves more than a cheaper hourly rate
Ask for the Embraer Phenom 300 first: it is the type most often flown here, so it is the least likely to be positioned in empty
Take an empty leg if the date is flexible — repositioning flights on this direction run well below the normal rate
Compare multiple aircraft options rather than the cheapest hourly rate alone
Book 24-48 hours ahead: same-day requests pay for whatever is available, not for what fits
