Methodology: learn how we calculate these charts
The charts “When is the cheapest time to fly?”, “How far in advance should I book?”, “What's the cheapest day of the week to fly?” and “What do round-trip flights from Chicago to Providence cost?” are built from the prices Priceline customers actually paid for flights on this route over the past 12 months or more.
Where a route has too few bookings to fill every point in a chart, we borrow the shape of the curve from a group of routes with similar price behavior and fit it to the fares booked on this route.
Because past fares don’t reflect today’s market, we then adjust the historical prices for current conditions such as inflation and fuel costs, using the round-trip fares found in recent searches on this route.
The chart “When is the best time of day to fly?” is calculated directly from the fares found in recent searches, not from historical bookings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about flying from Chicago to Providence.
What is the typical flight duration from Chicago to Providence?
The flight from Chicago to Providence is about 840 miles. In the outbound direction, the typical nonstop flight time is 2 hours 15 minutes. The return leg is longer at 2 hours 35 minutes, a difference driven by prevailing winds.
Methodology
Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.
Are there any direct flights from Chicago to Providence?
Southwest Airlines, United Airlines, and American Airlines all fly nonstop from Chicago to Providence. Southwest operates 19 weekly flights from Midway, while United (operated by SkyWest) runs 14 weekly flights and American (plus its regional partners Envoy and Republic) runs 20 weekly flights from O'Hare — roughly 53 nonstop flights each week, nearly all daily. American's Envoy-operated service runs six days a week, skipping Saturday, and one Republic-operated flight operates Saturday only.
Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.
What are the ground transportation options in Providence?
Providence (PVD) offers several ground transportation options to reach the city center. RIPTA buses (Routes 1, 8, 14, 20, and 66) provide frequent service to downtown Providence for just $2, making it the most-used and economical choice. The MBTA Commuter Rail also connects the airport to downtown Providence and beyond, with weekday service about ten times a day. Taxis, ride-share services like Uber and Lyft, and rental cars are readily available, with the rental car facility accessible via the Skywalk. For most travelers, RIPTA bus is the fastest and most practical option, while ride-share offers a convenient alternative for those with luggage or tight schedules.

When is the cheapest time to fly from Chicago to Providence?
Fares from Chicago to Providence are lowest in late January, around $223. January is the cheapest month overall, averaging $232, followed by February ($235) and March ($266). July is the most expensive month at about $309, and fares peak in late December at about $312. The yearly average is $279. Fares are adjusted to current market conditions.
Methodology
Seasonal fares come from Priceline's own air booking-summary archive, analysed in-house and refreshed monthly. For each day of the year we take a representative round-trip fare, a blend of the 25th-percentile and average ticket price over the route's bookings, and smooth the series into a seasonal curve; the half-month low and high and the monthly figures quoted here are averages of that curve. Thin and international routes borrow their seasonal shape from the nearest busy routes, with the price level anchored to the route's own bookings.
How far in advance should I book tickets from Chicago to Providence?
Book about 5 weeks before departure for the best fares from Chicago to Providence, around $269. Booking in the final days before the flight costs about $396, $127 more. Booking six months ahead runs about $332. Fares are adjusted to current market conditions.
Methodology
Booking-window guidance comes from the same monthly in-house analysis of Priceline's own air booking-summary archive. We aggregate the route's bookings by how many days before departure they were made, from about 180 days out to the day of travel, smooth the curve, and highlight the stretch of lead times with the lowest average fare. Thin and international routes borrow the curve shape from the nearest busy routes, anchored to the route's own price level. It reflects current fares and is refreshed monthly.
Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Chicago to Providence?
No overnight or red-eye flights operate from Chicago to Providence — there are no nonstop red-eyes on this route, and no connecting itinerary has an overnight long leg either.
Methodology
Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times and block times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes. A flight counts as a red-eye when it departs in the afternoon or evening (3 p.m. or later local time) or in the early hours before 4 a.m., and is in the air at some point between midnight and 4 a.m. local time at both its departure airport and its arrival airport. An evening flight that lands before midnight at its destination is never counted, nor is a morning departure or a daytime long-haul that reaches the next calendar date only because of time zones. Each red-eye is labelled with its timing (for example, overnight and landing the next morning, or late-night and landing after midnight). For connecting itineraries the same rule is applied to the longer leg, from one representative day's flight search.
Which airlines usually operate this route from Chicago to Providence?
Southwest Airlines flies nonstop from Chicago Midway to Providence with 19 weekly flights daily. United Airlines, operated by SkyWest, runs 14 weekly nonstops from Chicago O'Hare, and American Airlines operates 20 weekly nonstops from O'Hare, mostly via Envoy Air with daily service plus a weekly Republic Airways flight. All three carriers fly daily on this route, with departures spread from early morning through evening.
Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a typical fare is shown for a carrier, it is the median of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.
How reliable are on‑time arrivals on this route from Chicago to Providence?
On the Chicago to Providence route, American Eagle flights operated by Republic Airways (YX) arrive on time 84.3% of the time, making them the most reliable, while United mainline arrivals are on time 82.3% with zero cancellations. Southwest flights land within 15 minutes of schedule 79.1% of the time, and American mainline is the least reliable at 62.4% with a 0.6% cancellation rate.
Methodology
On-time arrival and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, which covers U.S. domestic routes only; a flight counts as on time when it arrives within 15 minutes of schedule. Carriers are ranked by arrival on-time rate on this route, and the carrier list itself comes from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI).
Which airport should I use in Providence?
Providence has one airport, T.F. Green Airport, about 10 miles south of downtown and convenient for the city and nearby attractions.

Methodology
Aircraft types come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.
