What moves the price
Austin-Bergstrom handles both airlines and private flights, so ground times can stretch during SXSW in March.
Where the jet starts its day matters too. If it has to reposition to Austin-Bergstrom, you pay for that time.
On the calendar side, CES in January fills the private terminals.
Fees to ask about
An hourly rate is only where the bill starts. Ask about these before you sign:
- Airport and private terminal charges at both ends (AUS and LAS).
- Crew hotel and per diem if the aircraft waits for you in Las Vegas.
A good broker will give you the all-in figure without being asked twice. Every fee is explained in our guide to charter fees.

Which airports to use
Leaving Austin

Arriving in Las Vegas
- Harry Reid (LAS), about 2 miles from the Strip in a straight line. Closest to the Strip, with several private terminals.
- Henderson Executive (HND), about 10 miles from the Strip in a straight line. South of the Strip. A quieter alternative when Harry Reid is busy.
- North Las Vegas (VGT), about 7 miles from the Strip in a straight line. Northwest of downtown. Mostly smaller aircraft.
Choosing the right aircraft
A light jet covers this nonstop with normal luggage. Step up to a midsize if you want to stand up inside or you're bringing bulky bags.
Good to know on this route
- Harry Reid International is closest to the Strip; Henderson Executive is quieter on event weekends.
- A light jet usually covers the trip without a fuel stop for a small group.
- Big fight nights cause short spikes.
Ways to bring the price down
- Fly midweek: Tuesday to Thursday departures are usually cheaper than Fridays and Sundays.
- Move by a day: shifting just one day away from a holiday or event often lowers the quote.
- Book peak dates early: for holidays and big events, aircraft run out and prices climb in the last two weeks.
- Be open on airports: ask for quotes from more than one airport at each end; the cheapest aircraft isn't always at the obvious one.
Booking takes a few steps: send your dates and passenger count, compare all-in quotes, check the operator and sign. Our booking guide walks through each one.
