Chicago and Phoenix Private Jet Charter
Private Jet Charter between Chicago and Phoenix
Book a nonstop private jet charter flight from Chicago to Phoenix with the option to select your aircraft upon request.
Scottsdale Airport is about ten minutes from Old Town and the resort corridor, and it takes no airline traffic, so there is no terminal to clear and no queue to join. The airlines land at Sky Harbor instead, on the other side of the valley. For most people flying this route, that gap decides it.
Business drives most of the route, year-round, between Chicago’s corporate base and a Sun Belt city that has become a serious commercial center. The winter adds the rest: come January, a good part of Chicago heads for the desert, for the golf, the resorts, the second homes in Paradise Valley, and the events that fill the season, the WM Phoenix Open, Barrett-Jackson, Cactus League spring training.
What Does a Private Jet Charter between Chicago and Phoenix Cost?
Estimated one-way charter pricing between Chicago and Phoenix is typically:
- Light Jets: $20,500 – $21,500;
- Midsize Jets: $23,500 – $25,500;
- Super Midsize Jets: $29,000 – $31,500;
- Heavy Jets: $36,500 – $40,000;
- Ultra Long Range Jets: $45,500 – $50,000.
Final price can be different based on aircraft availability, positioning, airport selection, passenger count, and the specific itinerary. The winter season sets the peak, and the big January and February events, the Phoenix Open and Barrett-Jackson, are the busiest and most expensive weeks of all, when ramp space at Scottsdale can sell out entirely.
Flight Time between Chicago and Phoenix
A nonstop private jet flight from Chicago to Phoenix takes about 3 hours to 3 hours and 30 minutes. The time difference is the unusual part. Arizona keeps Mountain Standard Time all year and does not observe daylight saving, so Phoenix runs two hours behind Chicago in summer and one hour behind in winter. Through the snowbird season, when most of this traffic flies, it is the one-hour gap that applies, and your itinerary shows the correct local times either way.

Private Jets for Charter Flights between Chicago & Phoenix
Light Jets
A light jet flies the route nonstop and suits a couple or a small group traveling reasonably light.
Midsize Jets
A midsize jet has a stand-up cabin and the baggage room a desert trip tends to need, golf clubs, a season’s worth of luggage for a long stay, and room to spare, and it holds the flight in comfort.
Super Midsize Jets
A super-midsize jet adds width, a larger galley, and the range to make Phoenix one leg of a longer trip out west. It carries a bigger group in a quiet cabin, with room for everyone’s gear and space to work or relax on the way.
Heavy Jets
A heavy jet brings one of the largest cabins on the route, with separate seating areas and full service aboard, well suited to a large group or an extended family traveling together for the season. One local note: Scottsdale’s runway handles most heavy jets, but Phoenix summers are hot, and the heat can limit what a fully loaded heavy jet can carry, so summer trips are worth planning with that in mind.
Ultra Long Range Jets
Ultra-long-range aircraft are more than the run to Phoenix needs on its own. They are a usual choice for a longer trip, an onward leg to the West Coast, Hawaii, or across the Pacific, where the range and the cabin matter for the flight that follows.

Tell us your dates and your numbers, and we will match the aircraft to the group and the luggage, get you into Scottsdale close to the resorts, and have the car waiting when you land.
The winter weeks fill early, the events earliest of all, so booking well ahead is the difference between the aircraft you want and whatever is left. If your dates are flexible, it is worth asking about empty leg flights, repositioning aircraft that can lower the cost of a one-way trip.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Phoenix airport should I use?
For most trips, Scottsdale. It has no commercial traffic, sits about ten minutes from Old Town and close to the resorts and golf, and its runway takes everything up to most heavy jets. Sky Harbor is the choice for an international arrival needing customs, and Deer Valley or Mesa Gateway are useful during the busiest event weeks, when Scottsdale’s ramp fills up. Your advisor will match the airport to your aircraft and where you are staying.
How far ahead should I book for the winter events?
For the Phoenix Open and Barrett-Jackson in January and February, as far ahead as you can manage. Those weekends draw hundreds of private jets into the Phoenix area, ramp and hangar space at Scottsdale sells out, and pricing runs at its highest. Booking weeks or months in advance is the only way to secure both the aircraft and the airport you want.
Does the summer heat affect flights?
It can, for the largest aircraft. Phoenix summers are hot enough that the thin, warm air limits how much weight a fully loaded heavy jet can lift on departure, which is a normal performance consideration rather than a safety concern.
