Welcome to FT, luisoliveirav!

There are lots of factors that determine performance, but according to the XLS performance data at http://jetadvisors.com/citation-xls-performance/, a 1,000 nm (nautical mile) trip should have a flight time of around 2:26 (assuming no wind). Since your trip is about 1,180 nm, figure on close to 3 hours in a no-wind condition.

Takeoff speeds will also vary based on density altitude and weight. I found one example of a 106 knot rotation speed from ICT (1,333 feet MSL). From a bit closer to sea level (CCS is 235 feet MSL), you're probably looking at a rotation speed of somewhere between 100 and 110 knots, with takeoff happening about 20 knots above that.

Note that all these numbers are speculative ballpark numbers, as it's impossible to get more accurate without more data and operating handbook data.
