Private jet, Chicago to New York.
The business shuttle, done properly: Midway to Teterboro in about two hours, both airports minutes from the meeting. Light jets handle it with margin; the lane runs dense enough that empty legs surface regularly.

Asked about this route.
How much is a private jet from Chicago to New York?
From $5,500 one way for the whole aircraft (light category), up to $11,500 for the largest cabin that flies the lane. Every figure is all-in — fuel, crew, landing, 7.5% FET — and locked at acceptance.
How long is the flight?
The leg is 619 nm as the crow flies. Block time runs about 1h 40m in the fastest suitable category (super-mid), a little longer in a turboprop or light jet — the quote lists the estimate per aircraft.
Which airports does the flight use?
Chicago Midway (KMDW) on the Chicago end and Teterboro (KTEB) into New York — chosen for ramp access and drive time, not airline convenience. If a different field suits your day better, dispatch will quote it; the price difference is usually minutes, not thousands.
Are there empty legs on this route?
Busy lanes generate repositioning flights, and this is one. Empty legs on the pair list at 30–60% off with locked dates — set a watchlist with the route and your date window and we'll text the moment one matches. One SMS per match, no spam.
