Discover how Austin's private flyers are escaping the holiday rush in style this season.

From sun-soaked destinations to family visits across the country, Austin jet-setters are taking full advantage of private flights during the 2025 holiday season. Here’s what to expect.

Holiday Travel by Private Jet from Austin – What to Expect in Q4 2025

As the holiday season ramps up, Austin’s private aviation activity is experiencing a sharp rise. More families, executives, and leisure travelers are bypassing commercial terminals and opting for seamless, stress-free private jet travel out of Austin-Bergstrom and Austin Executive Airport.

Top Holiday Jet Charter Destinations from Austin

  • Warm Weather Getaways: Private jets from Austin are heading to Palm Beach, Cabo, Scottsdale, and Tulum as travelers seek sunshine and luxury escapes.
  • Family Holiday Travel: Many Austin-based flyers are using charters to reconnect with family in Chicago, New York, Atlanta, and Nashville.
  • Year-End Business Travel: Executives are flying private to wrap up Q4 meetings in San Francisco, Denver, and Los Angeles before the December rush.

Airports Preferred by Austin Charter Clients

Most holiday charter flights depart from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport’s South Terminal or the Austin Executive Airport (EDC), both of which offer luxury FBOs, vehicle-side boarding, and concierge services that make holiday travel truly effortless.

Popular Aircraft for Holiday Departures

  • Light jets like the Phenom 300 and Citation CJ3 are ideal for short-haul trips to regional destinations.
  • Super-midsize and heavy jets are being booked for long-range travel, especially to the West Coast and Caribbean.
  • Floating fleets and empty legs are helping travelers save on one-way trips during peak travel weekends.

Booking Trends & Demand in Q4 2025

Private jet demand out of Austin is up 21% over last year, with many travelers booking flights just 3–7 days before departure. The busiest departure dates include the weekends before Christmas and New Year’s. Flexibility in airport, aircraft, and time of day is key to securing the best availability.

Why Austinites Are Choosing to Fly Private This Holiday

With major events like Formula 1 and tech conferences causing travel congestion in recent months, many Austinites are leaning into the reliability and privacy of charter flights. Whether flying to second homes or luxury resorts, the control and comfort of private aviation is unmatched this season.
