About this flight

Travel from Lubbock to Houston on 16 December, exchanging the wide skies of West Texas for a city known for dining, culture and business. This private jet empty leg offers a convenient way to make the journey during the winter travel season, whether you are heading to a meeting or joining loved ones before Christmas. Departing from Lubbock and arriving in Houston, the route connects two distinctive Texas destinations without the bustle of a conventional airport itinerary. Once there, explore the Museum District, enjoy a meal in Montrose or continue your festive plans along the Gulf Coast.

The Pilatus PC-12 NG is a versatile turboprop with seating for up to seven passengers, well suited to a short regional flight. Its comfortable cabin gives your group room to settle in, talk privately or simply enjoy the changing landscape below. The aircraft’s practical design combines efficient performance with the ease of travelling together, making it an appealing choice for colleagues, friends or family. With a private charter, the experience feels personal from departure through arrival, rather than shaped around a crowded terminal.

An empty leg becomes available when an aircraft is already scheduled to reposition, creating a distinctive charter opportunity on this particular route and date. For travellers whose plans align with the flight, it is an inviting way to enjoy private aviation and arrive in Houston ready for the season ahead.
