Houston to Dallas: a day trip that works
Houston to Dallas is 239 miles, about fifty minutes in a light jet against three and a half to four hours on I-45. Most of our Houston clients leave from Hobby, twenty minutes from downtown and the Medical Center, or from Sugar Land for the Galleria and the Energy Corridor; Bush Intercontinental is for the largest aircraft.
At the Dallas end, Love Field is ten to fifteen minutes from Uptown, Highland Park and downtown, and Addison suits Plano and Frisco. Both cities are in the same time zone, so a 7.30 am departure has you in Uptown before 9.
The aircraft can wait on the ramp while you work, which usually costs less than two one-way flights, and aircraft are based in numbers at both ends, so a same-day booking is almost always possible.
