Aircraft options and pricing

Chicago to Vail by class

FAQ

Common questions on this route

How long is Chicago to Vail?
About 2h 45m direct on a midsize or 2h 40m on a super-mid over the 1,670 km sector.
Can I fly direct on a light jet?
Marginal westbound in winter; typically payload-limited or via Denver. A midsize is the practical minimum for a reliable direct with a full cabin.
What does the charter cost?
A midsize runs 18,500 to 25,000 USD one-way, a super-mid, our recommendation, runs 22,500 to 30,000.
EGE or ASE for Vail?
EGE is the primary field. It is 55 km from Vail village with a 9,000 ft runway and no wingspan cap. ASE is only used for combined Aspen and Vail trips.
Any empty-leg opportunities?
Yes, particularly after mid-January and after Presidents' Day when aircraft that delivered northbound reposition. Return-pickup missions can price 30 to 50 percent below on-demand.
