Taste of Chicago is the world’s largest food festival. Previously held over five days in July in Grant Park, the city moved the popular event to September last year. 8-10 in 2023. This year’s Taste will takeover Chicago Grant Park Sept. 6-8, 2024, with summer offshoots at Humboldt, Pullmark and Marquette Parks to be announced soon.
This event is basically a smorgasbord of gastronomic treats, as the city’s cooking community comes together in one area. From food trucks to restaurants that set up tents, there are literally hundreds of menu items to choose from, including:
Dia de los Tomales
Celtic corn on the cob
Coconut shrimp
S’mores Smush cheesecake
And, of course, there are the traditional Chicago mainstays such as deep-dish pizza, Chicago-style hotdogs and Italian beef. This family-friendly event also happens to be the largest festival in Chicago, and it’s about more than just food. Other attractions include:
When you fly privately with Stratos, you can get a head start on the gourmet fare by requesting in-flight catering.
In addition to delicious eats, the Taste of Chicago attracts a lot of top international talent, as well as up-and-coming local acts. Weezer, Erykah Badu and Robin Thicke have all headlined the festival in past years. If you plan on visiting this extraordinary event, you’re not alone. There can be as many as 1.5 million visitors over the weekend, which means Chicago’s commercial airports will be busier than normal. By booking private charter flights to Chicago with Stratos Jets, you can avoid:
By arranging charter flights to Chicago, not only do you get to choose when you fly, you can also choose the airport that’s most convenient for your arrival. In the Windy City, there are plenty of options, including Chicago Executive Airport (PWK), Midway International Airport (MDW), Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD), Aurora Municipal Airport (ARR), Dupage Airport (DPA), Gary Chicago International Airport (GYY) and Chicago Rockford International Airport (RFD).
Flying in late and want to head straight to the hotel, or can’t wait to get to Taste and just need a rental car ready to go at the airport? Whether it’s by pre-arranging a car and driver, rental vehicle or even taking care of hotel reservations, our Trip Support Team is your lifeline to help make your trip to Taste of Chicago memorable.

As always, the folks at Stratos Jet Charters did an outstanding job responding to a short-notice requirement for supplemental lift for our flight department.
Their staff is always focused on the customer needs and preferences.
Through their proven performance, they have become my "go-to" solution when the need arises.

I have never met Anthony, but based on his efforts over the years, I would hire him sight unseen. Best customer service. Period. I've gone with other carriers who promised lower price and got stranded. He's always found a way to accommodate even when challenges occur. Top notch.

Although I was not a traveler for this trip, I organized the flight and was the point of contact. The communication and details from our agent made this first time use of Stratos Jet Charters very pleasant. I was able to reach out directly to Steve and he was very patient and helpful with all the questions I had from booking to payment. The memorable moment was with a delay in the departure. Steve sent emails to all but also made a phone call to be sure I was aware. This was so appreciated so I could reach out immediately to the travelers. THANK YOU STEVE AND STRATOS JET CHARTERS.

Our experience using Stratos and Joel was phenomenal. From the initial communication to how quickly we got various quotes back for different plane options, to having a discussion with Joel on his recommendation of what fit our needs the best it was five stars across the board. It was so helpful to have someone as knowledgeable as Joel walking us through what to expect each step of the way on our first charter experience. He even took the time to message us letting us know when our planes had hit the ground and were waiting for us and texted us asking how each leg went when we arrived. Overall can’t say enough about what a wonderful experience it was start to finish and we will absolutely be using Stratos and Joel for all of our future chartering needs.

I made all of the arrangements for the charter flight for my boss and his family. I worked with Joel Thomas personally, who took the time with me to show the jet options available, all the while considering my boss's medical issues and care requirements. He emailed a jet comparison guide with photographs to view side-by-side so that I could make a wise and informed decision, and walked me through them over the phone. He was determined to provide the best possible experience for everyone. Joel made it all so easy, and it was clear after conversations with him that he has a heart for people and genuinely cares about their needs. I ordered in-flight catering, over the phone, which could not have been any easier. The food was plentiful and exceptional! My boss called me the next day asking that I inquire as to who the local caterer was that supplied the food, as he wants to make sure that we use them in the future. They staged all of the food on beautiful white platters that looked classy and elegant, as though it was all prepared for red carpet guests. And every selection was freshly prepared that day and over the top in flavor! The pilot was very nice and personable and clearly cared about the comfort and safety of his passengers. The plane was extremely comfortable and very luxurious. The seating was perfect for the six of them and their cat, Molly! I received a call the next day from my boss's grown daughter, and all she did was rave about how it was first class all the way! She said I always do such a great job. LOL! It was Joel and the Stratos team that did all the work! My part was easy! Ohhh, and Joel also went out of his way to arrange for ground transportation upon their flight's arrival. I can say from personal experience over the years, that flying does not get any better than going first class with Joel Thomas and his team at Stratos Jet Charters. I want to thank them for making me look like the best assistant ever!!

Our friendly, expert air charter agents are here to answer questions or start your quote today. Don`t wait, call right now and we can get you on your way to the destination of your choice! Talk to one of our air chater argents now by calling (888) 593-9066 or by emailing [email protected]
How do I choose the right aircraft for my mission?
As charter brokers, we do more than simply book your charter flight. At Stratos Jets, our air charter associates are highly trained personnel capable of matching our clients with the appropriate aircraft for their travel needs. Once we determine how many passengers you’re travelling with and how far you’re flying, we can determine which category of aircraft you require. There are many options available. The most common aircrafts hired for private charters include:
Cessna’s Citation X
Gulfstream’s G650
Bombardier’s Global line
After that, we can help you narrow down the selection of recommended aircraft based on budget, desired cabin amenities, airport requirements, luggage capacity, as well as aircraft age and performance capabilities.
Staying Safe in the Skies
At Stratos Jets, air charter safety is our number one concern. One of our key policies is to increase consumer education. This ensures our clients are able to make informed decisions. We also work with our aircraft providers to ensure their safety training programs meet and even exceed our air charter safety requirements. To make this happen, Stratos Jets is an ARGUS Certified Broker. This means that our brokerage firm is:
Committed to the best industry practices
Adhering to all applicable safety regulations
Maintaining the appropriate insurance coverage required
Are there additional costs per private jet rental passenger?
There are no additional costs per passenger. At Stratos Jet Charters, we base our private jet rental prices per hour, not per guest.
The Stratos Pricing Estimator
If you would like to estimate the cost of a private jet charter, use our Stratos pricing estimator page. It lists the most common estimates based on destination and aircraft type. And you can always enter customized data to get an estimate for a specific destination.
Additional Concierge Charges
We do charge for some of our additional concierge services, such as in-flight catering and entertainment, hotel bookings and ground transportation. We know our clients’ time is precious, so we offer the value and convenience of “one-stop-shopping” through our Trip Support team. When you book a flight with Stratos Jet Charters, we can take care of all the logistics, including booking hotels, meeting spaces, limousines and tickets to special events. That way you can relax, and enjoy your trip.
Empty Leg Charters
Also, since we charge per hour, not per passenger, there are travel bargains to be found with our Empty Leg Flights. Many of our private jet rental flights are one-way, and then we need to move the aircraft to a new destination. To reduce the costs of flying an empty aircraft, we offer discounts to travelers with flexible itineraries. Clever passengers will sometimes split the cost with their fellow travelers, thereby reducing the cost for everyone on the flight.
Can I make last-minute changes to my itinerary?
If your plans need to change, we will do everything in our power to accommodate the changes. One of the benefits of hiring Stratos Jet Charters is that we have much more flexibility than commercial airlines and can provide many more air charter services.
We have two teams that can help you. Here is a brief description of each:
Charter Sales Agents
This is the initial contact team. They evaluate your travel needs to identify the appropriate aircraft type for your travel plan. Pricing is determined by aircraft availability, its position related to the intended departure location and the position of where the aircraft needs to be after performing the customer’s flight.
Trip Support Team
Once the aircraft has been selected, Trip Support works with the customer, the air carrier and all concierge service providers to organize all of the travel details. Trip Support is responsible for coordinating:
Departure time
Departure and arrival at the Fixed Base departure location
Ensuring assigned crew members meet Stratos experience requirements
Making sure the insurance is current and everyone is protected
Coordinating all concierge services
In reference to last-minute itinerary changes, any changes would go through the Trip Support Team.
Our customers often have demanding flight itineraries that can change quickly. They’ve come to appreciate knowing there’s an entire team of people focused on organizing all the details of their trip. Stratos Jet Charters wants to provide our clients with consistently outstanding air charter service and an impeccable safety record.
