Fees to ask about

- Handling, parking and landing fees charged by the terminals at Hobby and Harry Reid.

Best jet size for Houston to Las Vegas
Most people book a light jet here. A midsize mainly buys you headroom and space for bulky luggage.
Good to know on this route
- Henderson Executive is a calmer arrival on major event weekends.
- A midsize jet gives a more comfortable cabin for groups of six or more.
- The Las Vegas Grand Prix in November is one of the busiest weekends of the year.
- Big fight nights cause short spikes.
Getting a better price
- Look for empty legs: jets often fly one way with nobody on board after dropping off a client. Those flights can sell for much less, but the time is fixed and they can be cancelled.
- Fly midweek: Tuesday to Thursday departures are usually cheaper than Fridays and Sundays.
- Book peak dates early: for holiday weeks and big events, planes sell out and late quotes climb.
- Be open on airports: a nearby airport sometimes has a cheaper aircraft available.
