Denver to Scottsdale Private Jet Charter
Under 90 minutes from Centennial to Old Town, skipping Sky Harbor entirely.
Why Denver to Scottsdale flies private
Denver to Scottsdale is one of the most reliable business-and-leisure routes out of Colorado. It is a short, smooth flight to the Valley for meetings, golf, spring training, and the steady stream of Coloradans with a second home in North Scottsdale.
The private advantage here is the airport. Scottsdale Airport (SDL) drops you minutes from Old Town, the resort corridor, and the North Scottsdale business parks, instead of fighting traffic out of Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX).
It is short enough for a same-day round trip. Fly down for morning meetings or a round of golf and be home for dinner, which is exactly how a lot of our business clients use it.

The best jets for Denver to Scottsdale
There is no single best jet, only the best jet for your group, your gear, and this route. Here is how we think about it.
Citation CJ3+ (Light Jet)
For a foursome and clubs, or a small team headed to meetings, the CJ3+ is the efficient choice. It covers Denver–Scottsdale easily and keeps the round-trip cost sensible for a day trip.
Citation XLS+ (Midsize Jet)
The XLS+ is the better pick when you have a larger group, multiple golf bags, or want a stand-up cabin for a more comfortable trip. The 90 cu ft hold swallows clubs and luggage without a game of Tetris.
