THE ROUTE
New York to Chicago connects the country’s two largest financial and professional services markets. Banking, consulting, law, commodities, insurance, and manufacturing create an executive travel corridor that runs year-round. The professionals on this route are managing client relationships, deal teams, and institutional partnerships across both cities.
Commercial options are plentiful but O’Hare is among the most delay-prone airports in the country, and the 2.5-hour flight becomes 5–6 hours door-to-door when you factor in airport logistics at both ends.
By Private Jet New York to Chicago, you land at Chicago Executive (PWK), Midway (MDW), or DuPage (DPA), bypassing O’Hare entirely and arriving closer to the Loop, the Magnificent Mile, or the western suburbs.
CHARTER PRICING
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 |
| Light Jet (Citation CJ3, Phenom 300) | $12,000–$18,000 | Up to 8 pax · ~2.5h · Most efficient for small groups |
| Midsize Jet (Hawker 800XP, Citation XLS) | $16,000–$24,000 | Up to 9 pax · ~2.5h · More cabin room |
| Super Midsize (Challenger 350) | $22,000–$32,000 | Up to 10 pax · ~2.3h · Stand-up cabin, working teams |
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.

MEMBERSHIP VS. CHARTER
Every charter broker on this route operates the same way: source an aircraft from an operator, apply a 15–30% margin, and hand you a quote. That markup is never disclosed.
On a midsize jet, the broker margin per leg runs $2,400–$7,200. Monthly travel accumulates to $28,800–$86,400 per year in broker margin.
