Why a midsize jet fits this trip
A midsize jet fits this route because 1,604 nautical miles sits inside the range of both the Hawker 800XP and the Citation XLS+, and the nonstop time comes in around 4h 08m. The light jet and turboprop save money on the hourly rate but require a fuel stop, which stretches the day. The super-midsize and heavy jets buy back a little time and cabin room at a higher price.
If the schedule matters more than the cabin, then the super-midsize and heavy jets trim the flight to roughly 3h 53m, but the midsize already covers the distance nonstop with a cabin that holds up to 8 passengers. For a family or a small team with luggage, the Citation XLS+ baggage capacity of 90 cu ft is worth asking about. The midsize estimates run from $21,500 to $32,000 one way.

Leaving Phoenix
Phoenix Deer Valley Airport (KDVT) has an 8,196 ft runway and is a common general aviation departure point on the north side of the Valley; Sky Harbor (KPHX) is the other option if your operator prefers a larger field. Phoenix Deer Valley and Sky Harbor both handle charter departures on this route, and your operator will confirm the FBO and the check-in time. Plan to arrive early enough for the crew to load bags and brief the flight.
Morning departures from Phoenix usually give you the best shot at smooth air over the desert and less convective buildup later in the day. If your trip is in summer, then an early departure also means a cooler cabin on the ramp before takeoff. The flight itself crosses into Central time, so you lose two hours on the clock even though the airborne time is under five hours.
Arriving in Orlando
Orlando Executive Airport (KORL) sits about three miles from downtown and has a 6,004 ft runway, which suits midsize jets; Kissimmee Gateway (KISM) is a similar general aviation field south of the city with a 6,001 ft runway. Orlando Executive and Kissimmee Gateway keep you close to the attractions and downtown, while Orlando International (KMCO) and Sanford (KSFB) have longer runways and more airline traffic. Your choice of arrival airport should follow your hotel or park plan.
From KORL you are minutes from Winter Park and the downtown core; from KISM the drive to Walt Disney World is short. If you land at KMCO, then expect a longer taxi and a busier terminal area, though the 12,005 ft runway handles any aircraft in the fleet. Ground transportation is worth booking before you fly, especially during peak convention weeks.
| Airport | Code | Runway |
|---|---|---|
| Phoenix Deer Valley Airport | KDVT / DVT | 8,196 ft |
| Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport | KPHX / PHX | 11,489 ft |
| Orlando Executive Airport | KORL / ORL | 6,004 ft |
| Kissimmee Gateway Airport | KISM / ISM | 6,001 ft |
| Orlando International Airport | KMCO / MCO | 12,005 ft |
| Orlando Sanford International Airport | KSFB / SFB | 11,002 ft |
When to book your charter
Demand on this route peaks around school holidays and major Orlando events, so the midsize and super-midsize aircraft book first. Book two to three weeks ahead for a midsize jet on the Phoenix to Orlando route if your dates fall in a busy stretch, and ask about the return leg at the same time. Prices are estimates and can shift with fuel and crew availability.
If you can move your travel by a day or two, then midweek departures often open up more aircraft and better rates. Empty legs on this route do appear when an operator repositions an aircraft, but they are unscheduled and not something to count on. A broker can watch for them while holding a firm quote for your dates.

Yes, in a midsize or larger aircraft. Both the Hawker 800XP and the Citation XLS+ have the range for the 1,604 nautical mile route and fly it nonstop. Light jets and turboprops do not make it nonstop and will include a fuel stop. Your operator will confirm the aircraft and routing when you book.
Which Orlando airport will my charter use?
Most midsize charters into Orlando use Orlando Executive (KORL) with its 6,004 ft runway or Kissimmee Gateway (KISM) with 6,001 ft. Orlando International (KMCO) and Sanford (KSFB) have longer runways and suit larger aircraft or airline connections. The right choice depends on where you are staying and the ground transportation you have arranged.
How far in advance should I book a charter jet Phoenix to Orlando?
Two to three weeks ahead is a sensible target for a midsize jet on this route, and earlier during school holidays or major Orlando events. If your dates are flexible, then midweek travel often opens up more aircraft. Booking the return leg at the same time helps an operator plan the aircraft and can improve the overall estimate.
Is a charter jet Phoenix to Orlando faster than flying commercial?
Door to door, yes for most travelers. A nonstop midsize flight is about 4h 08m in the air, and you avoid connections through hubs like Dallas or Atlanta. Add roughly two hours on the ground at each end for private terminals, versus more at a commercial airport. The total saving depends on your departure and arrival airports.
