Houston for private flyers: airports, seasons and events

Houston is an energy town, and much of its private flying is corporate travel tied to oil, gas and the conferences that serve them. The city has three practical options: Hobby (HOU) south of downtown, Bush Intercontinental (IAH) to the north, and Sugar Land Regional (SGR), a city-owned corporate airport with its own customs service to the southwest.

In our order of preference for a private flight; routes on this page are priced from HOU. The airport changes the price, so ask about each. Each airport's page has its runways, customs and which jets fit. “Suits” is our rule of thumb from runway length and elevation: weight, temperature and the jet's own numbers decide it on the day.

When to go

Business travel runs year-round. The busiest stretch is late winter and spring, when CERAWeek, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and the Offshore Technology Conference fall between March and May. Summer heat and hurricane season, June through November, can make weather the bigger planning factor.Sources: rodeohouston.com, otcnet.org

Flying from Houston

Picks from the numbers

Each card says how it was chosen. Estimates are one way, on the jet size each trip calls for.

Cost against time

Every route from Houston, by cost and flight time

The bill is roughly hours times the rate, so cost climbs with time, and steps up where a trip needs a bigger jet. Minimums make the shortest hops cost more than their flight time.

One-way estimates for 213 routes from Houston. Each dot is the middle of a route's range on the jet size it calls for. The gold line is CRAFT's super-midsize card at $12,950/hr (fuel and FET included), billed at least 2 hours a day: compare it with the super-midsize dots, not with smaller jets.

What else moves the bill (tax, minimums, peak days, repositioning) is on every route page under What the number leaves out.

Range

How far a private jet flies nonstop from Houston

Practical ranges we assume: light 1,700 nm, midsize 2,000, super-midsize 3,000, large 4,000. Conservative on purpose; payload, winds and runway length decide it on the day.

Every route

Every private jet route from and to Houston

One-way estimates by jet size, grouped by region, nearest first. Flight time is for the jet size each trip usually calls for; “nonstop in” is the smallest size that makes it without a stop; the clock is the time difference at the other end.

Houston private jet charter: questions

How much does a private jet from Houston cost?

About $6,500 to $8,000 one way to Dallas on a light jet; $22,500 to $25,000 one way to Los Cabos on a midsize jet; $39,500 to $44,500 one way to Seattle on a midsize jet. Across all 213 destinations we price from Houston, one-way estimates run from about $5,000 (Austin) to $110,000 (Anchorage). These are estimates from published jet card rates times the flight time, not quotes: minimums, peak days and airport fees change the final price.

How much is a 2-hour private jet flight from Houston?

About $15,000 to $19,000 in a light jet, $19,000 to $21,000 in a midsize jet, $24,000 to $26,000 in a super-midsize jet, $29,000 to $33,000 in a large jet: two hours times the published hourly rates, before minimums. About two hours from Houston: Atlanta, Denver and Naples.

How much is a private jet from Houston to New York?

About $30,000 to $34,500 one way on a midsize jet, 3 hours 15 minutes nonstop for 1,420 miles. A round trip on different days is about twice that. An estimate from published rates, not a quote.

How much is a private jet from Houston to Dallas?

About $6,500 to $8,000 one way on a light jet, 50 minutes nonstop for 240 miles. A round trip on different days is about twice that. An estimate from published rates, not a quote.

Where do private jets fly from in Houston?

We price Houston from HOU (William P. Hobby Airport), then IAH (George Bush Intercontinental Airport) and SGR (Sugar Land Regional Airport), in our order of preference for a private flight. The airport changes the price and the drive, so ask about each when you book.

How far can a private jet fly nonstop from Houston?

By our conservative range assumptions, a light jet (about 1,700 nautical miles) reaches 186 of 213 destinations, the farthest being Seattle; a midsize jet (about 2,000 nautical miles) reaches 200 of 213 destinations, the farthest being Antigua; a super-midsize jet (about 3,000 nautical miles) reaches 208 of 213 destinations, the farthest being Fairbanks; a large jet (about 4,000 nautical miles) reaches 213 of 213 destinations, the farthest being Kauai. Beyond that, plan a fuel stop. Payload, winds and runway length decide it on the day.

What's the lowest-cost way to fly private from Houston?

Fly the smallest jet that makes the trip nonstop (a light jet covers 186 of these routes), avoid peak days, and compare one-way pricing with a round trip. A jet card fixes the hourly rate ahead of time; compare cards within one jet size. For a super-midsize jet, CRAFT's is $12,950 an hour on the 25-hour card, fuel and FET included, on a Challenger 350. Empty legs and shared flights exist, but they run on someone else's schedule. No estimate here is a guaranteed price.

Can I fly private from Houston to Mexico or the Caribbean?

Yes. 64 of the routes on this page cross a border, including Los Cabos (2h 20m, nonstop in a light jet), Nassau (2h 40m, nonstop in a light jet) and Tortola (4h 30m, nonstop in a midsize jet). An international flight clears customs at an airport of entry and everyone needs a passport. CRAFT's card rate covers the lower 48; Caribbean, Mexico and Canada trips add repositioning at $4,000 an hour plus handling.

Which Houston airport is closest to downtown for a private jet?

Hobby (HOU) is the closest of the three to downtown and has several FBOs. IAH is farther north and is mostly airline traffic. SGR serves the southwest suburbs.

Can I clear customs at a private airport in Houston?

Yes. Sugar Land Regional (SGR) has U.S. Customs and Border Protection service, with fees arranged through the FBO. HOU and IAH also process international arrivals.

When is Houston busiest for private flights?

March through early May, when CERAWeek, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and the Offshore Technology Conference take place.
