Leaving Dallas

Dallas airports and drive times →
DALUsual choice

Dallas Love Field

Love Field sits about six miles northwest of downtown Dallas, with a longer runway of about 8,800 feet, with the aircraft, fuel and passenger load checked for the planned flight. Figure about 10 to 15 minutes from Uptown, Highland Park and the Park Cities, and about 15 minutes from downtown.

More about DAL

On the way home, US Customs clears you on arrival in Dallas when the operator holds a CBP overflight exemption; without one, the jet first lands at a designated border airport such as Del Rio. The operator files the arrival notice before you leave Mexico.

ADS

Addison

Addison is the north Dallas option, close to Preston Hollow, Plano and Frisco, with a runway of about 7,200 feet that suits light, midsize and super midsize jets. It can clear US Customs on the return with advance notice when the operator holds an overflight exemption.

FTW

Fort Worth Meacham

Meacham is on the north side of Fort Worth, about 10 to 15 minutes from downtown Fort Worth and the shorter drive for Southlake and Westlake. It can also clear US Customs on the return with advance notice when the operator holds an overflight exemption.

Arriving in Cabo San Lucas

SJDUsual choice

Los Cabos International

Los Cabos International is outside San José del Cabo at the east end of the cape. Private flights use the general aviation terminal, where Mexican immigration and customs meet the aircraft, and the paperwork usually takes less time than the drive to the hotel.

More about SJD

Figure about 20 to 40 minutes to the Corridor resorts, depending on the hotel, about 40 to 50 minutes to Cabo San Lucas and up to an hour to Pedregal. The runway is about 9,800 feet, with suitability confirmed for the specific airplane and conditions.

When to go

The season for this trip.

  • Cabo's season runs from November through April, with dry weather and the tightest aircraft supply from Christmas through New Year, Presidents Day and the March spring break.
  • Summer is hot and quiet.
  • Hurricane season runs from mid May through November, with the highest risk from August into October; when a storm is on the map we watch it with the operator and move the dates if we need to.
  • Book peak weeks two to four weeks ahead.
From the cockpit

What you should know

How we review the aircraft for your trip →
  1. 01

    Every passenger needs a valid passport, children included. Check the expiration dates before you book.

  2. 02

    The operator handles the Mexican landing permit, the passenger manifests filed with both governments, and the handling at Los Cabos. We collect passport details a day or two before the flight so the crew can file them.

  3. 03

    On the way home you clear US Customs at the Dallas arrival airport when the operator holds a CBP overflight exemption. Without one, US rules require a first landing at a designated airport near the border, such as Del Rio, before the jet continues to Dallas. The crew files the arrival in advance and the stop at the customs desk is short.

  4. 04

    Mexican landing, handling and permit fees appear on the quote, not as a surprise afterward.

  5. 05

    Cabo San Lucas has a second, smaller airfield on the Cabo San Lucas side of the cape. It fits some aircraft and schedules and not others. Ask us if Pedregal or the marina is where you are headed.

  6. 06

    Pets need paperwork both ways. For a dog flying down, Mexico now wants a screwworm inspection certificate from a USDA accredited vet, issued no more than five days before you land. For the flight home, US rules call for a microchip, a CDC Dog Import Form receipt and a screwworm certificate from a vet authorized by the Mexican government, after an inspection within five days of departure. Tell us early so the crew can confirm what the operator and the airport require.

Fair questions

Dallas to Cabo San Lucas questions.

How much does a private jet from Dallas to Cabo cost?

Your emailed planning estimate shows the current range by cabin size. Enter your dates, traveler count and email to request it. The range comes from indicative rate bands. Prices move with dates, aircraft availability and positioning, and an international leg carries Mexican fees that the quote includes. Your quote will be exact.

Do I need a passport to fly private to Cabo?

Yes. Every passenger needs a valid passport, including children. Mexico admits you on arrival at the general aviation terminal, where immigration and customs meet the aircraft. A US citizen on a short visit does not need a separate visa.

Who handles the permits and customs?

The operator. It files the Mexican landing permit, the passenger manifests for both governments and the US Customs arrival for the way home, including a first landing at a border airport such as Del Rio when it has no overflight exemption. We collect passport details from you a day or two before the flight and hand the rest to the crew.

How long is the flight from Dallas to Cabo?

About two and a half hours in the air for a light jet and a little less in a larger cabin. The figure at the top of this page is the standard time for this leg. The customs stop at Los Cabos happens on the ground after you land and usually takes less time than the drive to the hotel.

When should I fly to Cabo?

The dry season runs November through April. The December holidays, Presidents Day and spring break are the tightest weeks, and prices sit in the upper half of the range. Summer is hot and quiet with lower demand, and hurricane season runs mid May through November. We watch the forecast with the operator and move dates when a storm is on the map.
