Airports

Both ends of the trip.

Each field suits a different part of town. Choose one and the estimate above updates.

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

Private flights use the general aviation ramps, away from the airline terminal.

ADS

Addison

Addison is the north Dallas option, close to Preston Hollow, Plano and Frisco. Its runway is about 7,200 feet, which suits light, midsize and super midsize jets.

More about ADS

North of the LBJ Freeway, Addison usually wins on drive time.

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. Its main runway is about 7,500 feet.

TEBUsual choice

Teterboro Airport

Teterboro is in New Jersey, about 12 miles from Midtown Manhattan. It is a business jet airport with no airline flights, which is why it is the default for New York.

More about TEB

Figure about 25 to 45 minutes to Midtown depending on traffic, usually through the Lincoln Tunnel. It has two runways of about 6,000 and 7,000 feet and a weight limit that keeps out the largest jets, so the specific airplane and load must be checked before it is recommended. The airport asks operators to avoid flights between 11 pm and 6 am, so plan to land before 11 pm when you can.

HPN

Westchester County

Westchester County Airport in White Plains is about 30 miles north of Midtown, about 45 minutes to an hour by car in normal traffic. It is the closer field for Greenwich, Westchester and Connecticut, and it is calmer than Teterboro.

More about HPN

It has a voluntary overnight curfew from midnight to 6:30 am, so plan arrivals before midnight.

When to go

The season for this trip.

  • Dallas to New York flies year round, and Teterboro is busy every week.
  • The tightest weeks are Thanksgiving, Christmas through New Year, the Presidents Day week when New York schools are out, and the March spring breaks.
  • In those weeks aircraft and Teterboro parking both run short, so book two to three weeks ahead and expect quotes in the upper half of the range.
  • From Memorial Day through Labor Day, Friday afternoons fill with flights out to the Hamptons, Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, so plan a morning departure from Dallas.
  • In winter, Sunday evening at Teterboro is a line of jets coming home from Florida, so a Sunday midday or Monday morning flight home to Dallas is calmer.
From the cockpit

What you should know

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

    Teterboro sits inside New York's high density airspace. Your emailed planning estimate adds time for that. Expect sequencing on arrival, and on Friday afternoons and Sunday evenings expect ground delays on departure. The crew files early and we tell you if a slot moves.

  2. 02

    This is a long leg for a light jet. It works with a normal load, but on a windy winter day the flight home runs against the jet stream and a light jet may stop for fuel. A midsize or larger cabin removes that question.

  3. 03

    Summer thunderstorms in the Northeast produce ground stops that can hold a departure for an hour or two. An earlier departure usually beats them.

  4. 04

    Teterboro has a 100,000 pound weight limit. It is not a factor for the cabins on this page.

  5. 05

    Cars meet you on the ramp at both airports. For Manhattan, allow for tunnel or bridge traffic in the drive time.

Fair questions

Dallas to New York questions.

How much does a private jet from Dallas to New York 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 because Teterboro sits in busy airspace the estimate adds a little time on that end. Your quote will be exact.

Teterboro or Westchester?

Teterboro for Manhattan and the shortest drive to Midtown. Westchester for Greenwich, Westchester County and Connecticut, for a calmer ramp, or when Teterboro is stacked up on a holiday weekend. Both serve business aviation; the airplane, operating conditions and arrival requirements determine which fits your trip.

How long is the flight from Dallas to New York?

About three hours in the air, a little more or less depending on the cabin and the wind. The figure at the top of this page is the standard time for this leg and includes an allowance for the New York airspace. The flight home runs west and usually takes longer in winter.

Do I need a heavy jet for Dallas to New York?

No. Light, midsize and super midsize jets fly this leg every week. A light jet suits two to four people with normal bags. A midsize adds a stand up cabin and an enclosed lavatory for three hours in the seat. A heavy jet makes sense for ten or more people or a large baggage load. The estimate shows the range for each so you can compare.

How far ahead should I book a Dallas to New York flight?

A week is comfortable. For Thanksgiving, the December holidays and summer Fridays, two to three weeks gives you more choice, because aircraft and Teterboro parking both run short. Shorter notice often works, and the reply tells you what is open.
