Is this route expensive?

Per nautical mile this route works out at about $18 per mile — ranking 36 of the 45 routes we price in USD, and 8% below the median.

That number needs context, because cost per mile is not a fair comparison between short and long trips. Taxi, climb and descent take about the same time whether the leg is 100 miles or 1,000, so those fixed minutes are spread over far fewer miles on a short hop. Across our own data, routes under 400 nautical miles average $40 per mile against $18 on routes over 1,200 — roughly 2.3 times as much.

This is a long leg, where the fixed costs of departure and arrival are spread thinly. Per-mile economics look their best here, which is why charter is easiest to justify on longer trips.

Flying Las Vegas to Chicago

The return leg prices the same. Charter is quoted on flight time and aircraft category, and neither changes with direction — we checked this against Villiers rather than assuming it, and Las Vegas to Chicago returned figures identical to Chicago to Las Vegas. So the table above applies in both directions.

What does change is availability. Empty legs run one way only, and an aircraft positioned near Las Vegas on your dates can make the return noticeably cheaper than the outbound — or the reverse. That is decided by where the fleet happens to be, not by the route, which is why it is worth asking for both directions when you enquire.

MDW to LAS is about 1,319 nautical miles, roughly 3h 20m in the air at typical charter cruise speed. Add around 20 minutes on the ground at each end: private terminals do not run the check-in and security queues that scheduled flights do.

Measured per nautical mile it works out at about $18 per mile, which is 8% below the median across the 45 routes we price in USD — ranking 36 of 45 by cost per mile. Short hops always look expensive by this measure: taxi, climb and descent take the same time whether the leg is 100 miles or 1,000, so on our data short routes average about $40 per mile against $18 on long ones.

Which airports are used for Chicago to Las Vegas?
Our pricing for this route uses Chicago Midway International (MDW/KMDW) and Harry Reid International (LAS/KLAS). Other fields near either city may be available; ask and we will price the alternatives.
Are there empty leg flights from Chicago to Las Vegas?
None were listed on this exact pairing when we last captured the feed. Empty legs appear at short notice and are withdrawn just as fast, so it is worth checking the empty legs page or pricing a full charter instead.
Can I bring luggage, pets or skis on this flight?
Usually yes, but say so when you enquire rather than on the day. Baggage volume is the real constraint on smaller jets — a light jet's hold fills faster than its seats do — and outsized items such as skis, golf bags or a pet crate can decide which aircraft is suitable. Pet policy is set by the operator, not by us.
How early do I need to arrive for Chicago to Las Vegas?
Around 15 to 20 minutes before departure. You arrive at a private terminal, walk through, and board. There is no separate security queue and no boarding group. If you are running late, tell the operator: on a charter the aircraft can often wait, which is the part of the experience that people notice most.
Is the price on this page the price I will pay?
No, and we would rather say so plainly. Every figure here is an estimate derived from historical charter pricing on this route, labelled with the date it was captured. Your bookable price is set by the operator and reflects aircraft positioning, crew duty time, airport and handling fees, and the date you fly. Nothing is booked and no payment is taken on this site.
