The route from Minneapolis (MSP) to Scottsdale (SCF) covers approximately 2,030 km, with a median block time of 3h 26m on flights we actually tracked.

51 private flights from Minneapolis to Scottsdale were tracked over the last 12 months — around 4 a month, a steady but not saturated sector.

Median block time on tracked flights is 3h 26m, about 63 minutes longer than a straight distance-and-cruise-speed estimate — taxi, routing and traffic flow account for the difference.

Traffic is strongly seasonal — October carried 8 flights against 1 in April, a 8.0× swing. Expect tighter availability and firmer quotes at the peak.

The Cessna Citation Latitude dominates the route, accounting for 31% of tracked movements, followed by the Embraer Phenom 300 and the Cessna Citation Longitude — a useful sanity check when a broker offers you something much larger or much older.

Flying back from Scottsdale is 13 minutes quicker: 3h 13m against 3h 26m 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 Scottsdale to Minneapolis leg has its own page with its own numbers.

The smallest cabin that covers 2,030 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.
