Why this route produces empty legs

Austin is the second busiest destination Dallas produces on our board. Of the 79 departures we have recorded from Dallas to 41 destinations, seventeen went to Houston and eight came down this corridor, with Aspen and Las Vegas next at four each. The sector is 165 nautical miles, short enough that an aircraft flies it and turns straight round, which is what leaves one of the two legs empty.

Five separate companies list these eight legs, which is more than any other Texas corridor in our record. Lone Star Aviators has three, Jet Linx two, and Jet OUT, Jetvia and Leviate Air one each. That matters for what this page can tell you: the Houston corridors out of Dallas and Austin are largely one operator publishing its own calendar, and this one is five operators repositioning independently of each other.

Seven of the eight name a tail number and they resolve to five airframes. N590MC, a Bombardier Challenger 300, takes two legs on consecutive days in September at the same price both times. N750MF, a Cessna Citation X, takes two three weeks apart at very different prices, which is dealt with below. A Cessna Citation Ultra, a Bombardier Learjet 60XR and a Cessna Citation XLS take one each, and the eighth listing names no tail at all.

One pair on this corridor is half of a return. Leviate Air lists N723JG, a Cessna Citation XLS, out of Addison to Austin Bergstrom on 26 November at USD 4,300, and lists the same airframe back from Bergstrom to Addison on 29 November at USD 3,900. Three days apart, USD 400 cheaper northbound. It is the only matched out and back we hold here, and the return half is on the Austin to Dallas page.

Recently listed on this corridor

Both directions, up to 20 flights, with the price exactly as the operator published it.

When they show up

Two habits, in roughly equal measure. Four of the eight were published within two days of departure: Jet OUT listed the 17 August leg on 15 August, Lone Star Aviators listed both 13 September legs on 11 and 12 September, and its 14 September leg appeared at 04:35 on the morning it flew. The other four were published between 21 and 71 days ahead.

That split is the argument for the route alert rather than the page. The forward half you can see coming weeks out. The short notice half appeared one or two days before the aircraft flew, and in one case on the day itself, which is not something checking a page catches reliably.

The route on a map

Approximate corridor between Dallas and Austin. Operators fly the sector direct; the airports each listing uses are shown on the flight itself.

The airports on this route

The computed distance on this page, 165 nautical miles, is Love Field to Bergstrom, the pair on five of the eight legs. The other three do not use it: one leaves from Addison and two land at Austin Executive, which is on the opposite side of Austin from Bergstrom. On a sector this short the field at each end decides more of your door to door time than the flight does.

Reading the record.

This is a record, not availability. These are the legs we have recorded on this corridor, read when you opened this page, kept so the route has a history you can judge it by. None of them is bookable from this table. What is actually open right now is the live list above, and if it is empty the route alert is the way to catch the next one.

Dallas to Austin in the record

Every leg we have recorded between Dallas and Austin, in either direction, since 30 July 2026, whether it is still on the board or not. A leg leaves the board when the operator stops publishing it, and we cannot tell from outside whether it was sold or withdrawn, so these are counts of what was listed, not of what flew.

Legs by departure month

One bar per calendar month, from the first month in our record to the furthest date an operator has published so far. Grey bars are months already past, gold is this month and the months ahead. A blank month is a month we have no record for, and before August 2026 that means we were not yet recording. The months ahead hold only what operators have published up to now, and most empty legs appear days or weeks before departure, so those bars will keep growing. The shape says how far ahead operators publish, not how busy a month will be.

The airports actually flown

Each row is a pair of airports as the operator named them, in the direction flown. Both directions of the corridor are counted. An operator that names only the city leaves us the city, which is why some rows are city names.

Before you book

The price on a card is the operator's figure for the whole aircraft. What that comes to per seat, across every type we see, is in how much an empty leg private jet costs.

Seven of the eight carry a published price. Six of those are open listings and run from USD 2,600 to USD 5,200: a Cessna Citation Ultra at USD 2,600, a Cessna Citation XLS at USD 4,300, a Bombardier Learjet 60XR at USD 4,800, a Cessna Citation X at USD 5,000 and a Bombardier Challenger 300 at USD 5,200 on each of its two legs. The unpriced one is the Jet OUT Cessna Citation CJ4, and Jet OUT publishes no price on any of its 967 listings anywhere in our record.

The seventh price needs saying plainly, because it is the lowest figure on the page and it is not the same kind of number. The 17 September Cessna Citation X is listed at USD 1,751, roughly a third of what the same airframe costs on this corridor three weeks later. It comes from a source our record keeps separately, under the name Jet Linx Aviation Members, alongside 65 listings under Jet Linx Aviation. We do not know what that membership requires of you and we are not presenting USD 1,751 as a price you can ring up and ask for. It is on the page because it is what was published.

Every price here is the operator's figure for the whole aircraft, not a per seat fare. Seats are published on all eight legs and run from seven to nine, so the largest cabin on the corridor is one seat bigger than the smallest. Seven of the eight carry a tail number.

Ask the operator three things: whether the departure time can still move, what happens if the paid flight that created this empty leg falls through, and which Austin field you are landing at, since Bergstrom and Austin Executive are on opposite sides of the city.
