What we put on this leg.
Every aircraft in our Dallas fleet has the range for Houston nonstop — the shortest-legged jet we fly, the Embraer Phenom 300, still covers 205 nm with reserve. For most parties we quote the Embraer Phenom 300 or the Cessna Citation CJ3+. At 205 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 $3,200.
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 Houston 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.
Arrival: Houston
Plan on William P. Hobby (HOU), ten minutes from downtown with several competing FBOs keeping service sharp and fees honest. Your advisor confirms the FBO, cars planeside and any catering when the itinerary firms up.
Dallas–Houston, straight answers.
How much does a private jet from Dallas to Houston cost?
One-way from Dallas to Houston starts around $3,200 by light jet and runs to $6,100 by super-midsize, with heavy-cabin options from $8,800. Round-trip on the same aircraft typically prices near 1.7× the one-way figure when the jet waits or returns the same day.

Figure 0h 54m–1h 00m in the air depending on aircraft class — the times on this page already include taxi and climb-out. Total block time from engine-start to chocks runs roughly 20–30 minutes longer once ground handling at both ends is counted.
