What we put on this leg.
Every aircraft in our Dallas fleet has the range for Chicago nonstop — the shortest-legged jet we fly, the Embraer Phenom 300, still covers 734 nm with reserve. For most parties we quote the Cessna Citation XLS+ or the Embraer Phenom 300. The XLS+ is our default here: stand-up cabin, full baggage hold and short-field numbers that matter at resort strips. Light jets cover the distance easily too, at the lowest price on the table.
Larger groups and full-baggage trips step up to the Gulfstream G450 or Global 6000 — overkill on range for this leg, but the right call when the passenger count climbs past nine or the itinerary continues onward.
Departure: Dallas-area airports
Most Chicago departures leave from Dallas Love Field (DAL) — fifteen minutes from downtown with the fastest turns in the Metroplex — or Addison Airport (ADS) for North Dallas, Plano and Frisco. DFW International is the pick when the trip connects off a long-haul airline arrival. Our full airport guide compares all seven.
Arrival: Chicago
Plan on Chicago Executive Airport (PWK) at Wheeling for North Shore and suburban arrivals, or Midway (MDW) for the Loop. Your advisor confirms the FBO, cars planeside and any catering when the itinerary firms up.
