Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bring my pet on a private flight to Houston?

Yes, you can bring pets on a private jet to Houston. Dogs must be at least 6 months old, microchipped, rabies-vaccinated, and travel with a CDC Dog Import Form. Cats are not covered by CDC rabies rules but Texas law requires rabies vaccination for both dogs and cats over 12 weeks of age. If your dog has recently been in a high-risk rabies country, arrival must be through an airport with a CDC-registered animal care facility. LunaJets will confirm compliance and organise the paperwork.

What visa or entry requirements apply when flying private into Houston?

All travellers flying privately to Houston must follow U.S. visa policy. Visa Waiver Program nationals can use ESTA for visits of up to 90 days, while others must obtain a B-1/B-2 visa beforehand. Passports should be valid for the entire stay and contain sufficient blank pages. LunaJets will check the requirements for your nationality and make sure everything is arranged prior to travel.

How far in advance should I book a private jet to Houston?

Houston sees busy times around major conferences, oil & gas events, oil expos, etc. Booking several weeks ahead helps ensure aircraft availability. That said, LunaJets can often handle requests at short notice—even during such high-demand periods.

Are there curfews or restricted operating hours for private jets in Houston?

No. Major Houston area airports (IAH, HOU, AXH, etc.) support 24/7 operations for private jets. However, certain FBOs and handling or ground services may have limited hours (often ~ 5:00 AM-11:00 PM) unless their after-hours support is requested. LunaJets will arrange any needed after-hours service in advance.

What are the best airports to use for private aviation in Houston depending on your destination or aircraft type?

It depends on your priorities. If you want maximum runway length, customs/immigration, and global connectivity, George Bush Intercontinental (IAH) is often the best choice. For quicker access to downtown or south areas, William P. Hobby (HOU) or Houston Southwest (AXH) may be more convenient. For privacy or lower traffic, airports like Sugar Land Regional (SGR) or Conroe-North Houston (CXO) are excellent alternatives. LunaJets will recommend the airport that best matches your aircraft size, destination, and ground transfer preferences.
