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. Its longer runway is about 8,800 feet, with the aircraft, fuel and passenger load checked for the planned flight.

More about DAL

Figure about 10 to 15 minutes from Uptown, Highland Park and the Park Cities, and about 15 minutes from downtown. 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.

Arriving in Scottsdale

SDLUsual choice

Scottsdale Airport

Scottsdale Airport sits in north Scottsdale beside the Airpark. Its single runway is about 8,200 feet, which handles light through super midsize jets and many heavy jets.

More about SDL

Figure about 10 minutes to Kierland and DC Ranch, about 15 minutes to Old Town and about 20 to 25 minutes to Paradise Valley. The airport asks for quiet hours overnight, so a very late arrival sometimes goes to Sky Harbor instead.

PHX

Phoenix Sky Harbor International

Sky Harbor is about three miles from downtown Phoenix and about 20 to 25 minutes from Scottsdale. It is open around the clock, with long runways and large private ramps.

More about PHX

It wins for a heavy jet with a full load, a late night arrival, or an event week when the Scottsdale ramp is full.

When to go

The season for this trip.

  • Scottsdale's season runs from January into April.
  • The tightest weeks are the January collector car auctions, the Phoenix Open in February and spring training from late February into late March.
  • On those weeks aircraft book out early and the Scottsdale ramp fills, so some aircraft drop you and reposition, which shows on the quote.
  • Summer is quiet and hot, and on a very hot afternoon the crew may plan a morning departure or a lighter fuel load.
From the cockpit

What you should know

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

    Scottsdale sees heavy business jet traffic in the winter season. Ramp space is the limit, not the runway. On peak weeks we ask for parking when we book.

  2. 02

    The field sits about 1,500 feet above sea level. Heat matters more than altitude here; a summer afternoon over 110 degrees trims the takeoff weight on some types.

  3. 03

    Winds are usually light, but spring afternoons can bring gusts and blowing dust. The crew watches it and may move the departure by an hour.

  4. 04

    Tell us the number and size of your golf bags. We confirm the baggage hold and loading limits on the specific airplane before recommending it.

Fair questions

Dallas to Scottsdale questions.

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

Your emailed planning estimate shows the current range by cabin size. Enter your dates, traveler count and email to request it. The range uses indicative rate bands. Prices move with dates, aircraft availability and positioning, and the winter event weeks sit in the upper half of the range. Your quote will be exact.

Scottsdale Airport or Phoenix Sky Harbor?

Scottsdale for almost every trip. It is closer to where clients stay and the ramp is built for private flights. Sky Harbor wins for a heavy jet with a full load, a very late arrival, or a peak week when the Scottsdale ramp is full. We tell you which one when the options come back.

How long is the flight from Dallas to Scottsdale?

About two 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 flight west runs into the wind in winter and can take a few minutes longer; the flight home is usually shorter.

Can we bring golf clubs?

Golf bags can be accommodated on suitable aircraft. Send the number and dimensions of the bags along with the passenger count so we can confirm the baggage hold, access and loading limits on the specific airplane.

How far ahead should I book a Dallas to Scottsdale flight?

A week is usually enough outside of season. For the auctions, the Phoenix Open and spring training, two to three weeks gives you more aircraft to choose from. Shorter notice often works when aircraft are open; the reply tells you what is.
