Los Angeles to Chicago by private jet
Los Angeles to Chicago connects the West Coast’s entertainment and technology capital with the Midwest’s financial, consulting, and manufacturing powerhouse. Banking, commodities, consulting, advertising, and media create a broad executive travel corridor between these two cities.
Commercial flights run 3.5–4 hours, but O’Hare is the most delay-prone major airport in the country. The commercial experience regularly extends to 7+ hours door-to-door.
By Private Jet Los Angeles to Chicago, you land at Chicago Executive (PWK), Midway (MDW), or DuPage (DPA), bypassing O’Hare entirely.
What does a private jet from Los Angeles to Chicago cost?
Pricing varies by aircraft type and availability. Every broker quote includes a margin of 15–30% on top of the operator’s rate. FlyRoving members pay the operator rate directly.
| Aircraft Class | One-Way Cost | Details |
| Midsize Jet (Hawker 800XP, Citation XLS) | $16,000–$24,000 | Up to 9 pax · ~3.5h · Nonstop |
| Super Midsize (Challenger 350) | $22,000–$34,000 | Up to 10 pax · ~3.5h · Stand-up cabin |
| Heavy Jet (Gulfstream G450) | $32,000–$48,000 | Up to 14 pax · ~3.5h · Lie-flat, full cabin |
Every one of those broker quotes includes a margin you never see itemized. FlyRoving members pay $349/month and access the same flights at wholesale operator rates, what the flight actually costs, without the middleman.
