Routes from Dallas

Dallas to Austin by private jet.

Dallas to Austin is 166 nautical miles — about 191 statute miles — and 0h 49m in the air by light jet. It is one of the shortest private legs out of North Texas, short enough that most clients fly out and back the same day and still make dinner at home. The shortest leg on our board — many clients do it out-and-back the same day and never see a hotel.

Aircraft Choice

What we put on this leg.

Every aircraft in our Dallas fleet has the range for Austin nonstop — the shortest-legged jet we fly, the Embraer Phenom 300, still covers 166 nm with reserve. For most parties we quote the Embraer Phenom 300 or the Cessna Citation CJ3+. At 166 nm this is light-jet territory — either aircraft covers the leg with more than half its range in reserve, and the lower hourly rate keeps the one-way near $2,900.

Larger groups and full-baggage trips step up to the Gulfstream G450 or Global 6000 — overkill on range for this leg, but the right call when the passenger count climbs past nine or the itinerary continues onward.

Departure: Dallas-area airports

Most Austin departures leave from Dallas Love Field (DAL) — fifteen minutes from downtown with the fastest turns in the Metroplex — or Addison Airport (ADS) for North Dallas, Plano and Frisco. DFW International is the pick when the trip connects off a long-haul airline arrival. Our full airport guide compares all seven.
