The trip

The city Mexico flies to for work and care

Houston and Mexico City are tied together by oil, medicine and family. Energy executives fly up for meetings in the Energy Corridor and Downtown. Patients and their families come for appointments at MD Anderson or Houston Methodist in the Texas Medical Center. Plenty of others come for the restaurants of Montrose, the shopping at the Galleria and grandchildren in the suburbs. A private jet to Houston turns all of these into a day trip, because Hobby Airport sits about 10 minutes from Downtown and close to the Medical Center.

You leave Toluca after breakfast, land in Texas before lunch, and clear US Customs on arrival using the manifest JETCAB filed the day before. The afternoon belongs to the appointment, the meeting or the family. By evening, the aircraft is fueled and ready for the flight home, and you are back in Mexico City in time to sleep in your own bed. A patient in the middle of treatment skips two airline terminals in one day.

At your destination

Where to go in Houston after you land

Texas Medical Center, Houston, Texas

Texas Medical Center

The largest medical complex in the world, just south of Downtown, home to MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston Methodist and Texas Children's Hospital. Many Mexican families travel here for treatment and second opinions, and its location near Hobby makes a same day round trip realistic.

Houston Museum District, Houston, Texas

Houston Museum District

Close to twenty museums sit within a few leafy blocks, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and the Houston Museum of Natural Science. A short drive away in Montrose, the Menil Collection and the Rothko Chapel are two of the quietest rooms in Texas.

The Galleria, Houston, Texas

The Galleria

Texas's largest mall anchors the Uptown district, with luxury houses, department stores and an ice rink under glass skylights in the middle of it all. The surrounding streets are full of hotels and steakhouses, which makes it a natural base for a shopping weekend.

Space Center Houston, Houston, Texas

Space Center Houston

The official visitor center of NASA's Johnson Space Center lies about half an hour from Hobby, near Clear Lake. The tram tour visits the astronaut training facilities and Rocket Park, where a full Saturn V rocket rests on its side inside its own building.

Best time to fly private to Houston

Business and medical trips to Houston run all year, but the weather shapes the rest of the calendar. From October to April, the city is mild and comfortable, with clear days in the 60s and 70s Fahrenheit. From June to September, Houston is hot and humid, with afternoon storms, and hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo fills NRG Park from late February into March, and the Offshore Technology Conference brings the energy industry to town each spring. Hotels near NRG and the Medical Center book up fast during big events, so confirm your aircraft early.

Arriving at Houston Hobby (HOU) by private jet

JETCAB flies to William P. Hobby Airport (HOU), southeast of the city center and about 10 minutes from Downtown by car. The Texas Medical Center, Midtown and the Museum District are a short drive west. Private aircraft use FBOs separate from the airline terminal, so you walk from the aircraft to your car without crowds or baggage carousels. US Customs and Border Protection clears you on arrival, using the eAPIS manifest JETCAB files about 24 hours before departure. If your meeting is closer to the Energy Corridor or the northern suburbs, ask about other Houston airports when you request your quote.

Documents for a private flight to Houston

Every passenger needs a valid passport, and Mexican citizens also need a valid US visa. Travelers of other nationalities need the entry document their passport requires for the United States. JETCAB files the eAPIS manifest with US Customs and Border Protection, so we need passenger names, dates of birth and passport details about 24 hours before departure. Patients traveling for treatment should carry their appointment letters and medical records.

Questions

Houston private jet FAQ

How long is a private jet flight from Mexico City to Houston?

About 2 hours 45 minutes from Toluca International Airport (TLC) to William P. Hobby Airport (HOU). Add 45 to 60 minutes by car from Polanco, Santa Fe, Lomas or Interlomas to Toluca, or about 25 by helicopter, and roughly 10 minutes from Hobby to Downtown Houston.

How much does a private jet to Houston cost?

From Mexico City, a private jet to Houston starts at $3,800 USD one way on a Learjet 35 for up to 8 passengers, $7,500 on a Challenger 604 for 12 and $14,000 on a Gulfstream GV for 16. Prices are per aircraft and include crew, fuel, catering and permits.

Where do private planes land in Houston?

Houston has several airports used by private aircraft, including Hobby, George Bush Intercontinental, Sugar Land Regional and Conroe North Houston Regional. Private jets arrive at FBOs, separate from airline terminals. For a private jet to Houston from Mexico City, JETCAB lands at Hobby, about 10 minutes from Downtown.

Can I fly to Houston and back the same day?

Yes. At under 3 hours each way, a same day round trip is common for medical appointments and business meetings. You can leave Toluca in the morning, spend the afternoon in Houston and be back in Mexico City that night on the same aircraft.

What documents do I need to fly private to Houston?

A valid passport for every passenger and, for Mexican citizens, a valid US visa. JETCAB needs passenger details about 24 hours before departure to file the eAPIS manifest with US Customs. Officers check your documents when you land, at the private terminal.

Do you tip a private jet pilot?

Tipping is not expected, since crew costs are already part of the charter price. If the crew helped with something special, such as assisting a patient on board, a thank you note or a gratuity handed to the captain is a kind gesture. It is always optional.
