Dallas to Scottsdale: the airport is the easy part

Dallas to Scottsdale is 873 miles, about two hours and a quarter from Love Field or Addison. Arizona does not change its clocks, so Scottsdale is two hours behind Dallas in summer and one hour behind from November to mid-March: a 9 am departure in February lands a little after 10 local time.

Scottsdale Airport is the usual arrival: nine miles north of Old Town and closer still to Paradise Valley, with Atlantic, Jet Aviation and Signature on the field. It has limits a large cabin has to respect. Aircraft over 75,000 lb need the airport's permission, those over 100,000 lb or with a wingspan over 100 ft may not land, and a voluntary curfew runs from 10 pm to 6 am.

So a light jet, a super-midsize or a heavy jet such as the Legacy 650 lands at Scottsdale, a Gulfstream G650 lands there with permission, and a G700 or a Global 7500 goes to Phoenix Sky Harbor, seven miles west of downtown Scottsdale.

Which Dallas airport to leave from is set out in our guide to the private jet airports in Dallas: FBOs, customs and curfews, side by side.

Flying to the Phoenix Open and Barrett-Jackson

Scottsdale's busiest weeks are in winter. Barrett-Jackson's collector car auction runs at WestWorld from 23 to 31 January 2027, a few minutes from the airport, and the WM Phoenix Open follows at TPC Scottsdale from 8 to 14 February, with the tournament rounds from Thursday to Sunday.

Neither week has an FAA reservation programme at present, so parking is decided by the FBOs, and it goes early. We book the ramp with the flight, and when Scottsdale is full we drop the party there and park the aircraft at another airport in the valley.

What the flight costs

Prices below are indicative one-way figures for the whole aircraft, not per seat. They include the flight, crew and fuel; parking, customs, repositioning and handling are quoted once we know your dates.

For a stay of a few days the aircraft usually flies home empty and returns to collect you, which is often cheaper than keeping the crew in Scottsdale; we quote both.

The hourly rate for each cabin, and what moves a quote up or down, are in our private jet charter cost guide.

Aircraft for Dallas to Scottsdale

Two hours suits every cabin. A light jet takes four to six with golf bags, a super-midsize takes eight with a stand-up cabin and the largest hold in its class, and a heavy jet takes a family of twelve, all within Scottsdale's limits. On a summer afternoon in the desert heat the runway asks more of the aircraft, so we confirm the numbers for the date.

When Scottsdale fills up

Scottsdale's busiest weeks fall between January and March, when the weather is at its best and the valley fills.

  1. Late January Barrett-Jackson The collector car auction at WestWorld, 23 to 31 January 2027, a few minutes from Scottsdale Airport.
  2. February WM Phoenix Open 8 to 14 February 2027 at TPC Scottsdale, with the tournament rounds from Thursday to Sunday. Parking at Scottsdale goes early; we book it with the flight.
  3. February to March Spring training Fifteen Major League teams play the Cactus League from 19 February to 23 March 2027.
  4. March Spring break and the end of the season Scottsdale Airport's busiest month: 14,616 operations in March 2026.

Scottsdale to Dallas

Scottsdale to Dallas is a little quicker with the prevailing westerlies, about two hours, and you lose the hour or two back. Departures after 10 pm fall in Scottsdale's voluntary curfew, so we plan the return for the evening at the latest.

The Monday after the Phoenix Open and the end of spring break are the busiest departures of the year; we book the return when we book the outbound.
