Austin to Phoenix Private Jet Flights
Private Jet Charter provides on-demand private flights between Austin and Phoenix. Both metro areas have large semiconductor and technology employers, and both are home to big public universities, the University of Texas and Arizona State.
Business travel on this pair runs through the year. Leisure demand has a clear season. Austin travelers head to Phoenix and Scottsdale for winter sun, the February golf and spring training weeks in particular. Return trips fill the following days. Phoenix travelers fly east for Austin’s festival weeks, such as South by Southwest in March.
The airlines put you on their schedule and their airports. With a private jet rental, you pick the departure time, and you can fly out and back the same day without building the day around a published departure.

Austin to Phoenix is about 750 nautical miles. None of the aircraft below is near the limit of its range on this leg, so no fuel stop is needed.
The turboprop Beech King Air 350 flies it nonstop but is the slowest option. The light jets Embraer Phenom 300E and Citation CJ4 cut the time and cost less than the larger jets. The midsize jets Citation XLS and Hawker 800XP/900XP add cabin room for little extra time in the air. The super midsize Bombardier Challenger 300 covers the leg in about the same time as the midsize jets.
I would book the Citation XLS or another midsize jet for most trips. Phoenix summer afternoons are hot, and a full cabin on a hot afternoon is where a light jet gives up the most margin on the return to Austin.
For the February and March peak, book the midsize jet furthest ahead.

Your final price depends on where the aircraft starts, since a jet flying in from another city adds positioning time. The February and March peak prices toward the top of each range. Both cities are in the US, so federal excise tax and segment fees are already included.
Round-Trip Private Jet Charter Between Austin and Phoenix
The prices in the table are one-way. For the midsize jet we recommend, a same-day return is practical. The flight is just under two hours each way, so a morning departure from Austin leaves you a full working day in Phoenix and a return that evening. An overnight makes more sense when your meetings run late or you want to leave Phoenix the next morning.
For a stay of a night or more, you have two choices. The aircraft and crew can wait for you, and the crew’s hotel and daily expenses for each night become part of the round-trip quote. Or the aircraft can fly home and come back for your return, which adds two positioning flights as long as this leg. On a leg of about two hours, a stay of one or two nights usually tips toward waiting. A longer stay moves the choice toward sending the aircraft home. Include your return date when you request a quote.
