Private Jet Charter Houston to Cabo San Lucas
Houston to Cabo San Lucas is priced from William P. Hobby (HOU) to Los Cabos International (SJD). Hobby is the Houston identifier in the estimate, not George Bush Intercontinental. The arrival is in Mexico, so the rate model treats the leg as international: no 7.5 percent U.S. domestic excise tax, plus an international-handling allowance. The headline cabin is a super-midsize.

What is specific to Houston to Cabo San Lucas
Hobby is the airport in the hours
An estimate that says Houston without an identifier can be Hobby or Intercontinental. The distance and the flight time on this page are Hobby to Los Cabos. If the passenger is starting nearer Intercontinental, ask the operator to rebuild the leg from that field.
The allowance is not the customs receipt
The handling figure is a model input so international trips are not shown as domestic. Mexican entry at Los Cabos is a separate process, and the time it takes belongs in the day’s schedule. A same-day return has to fit the flight and the stop at Los Cabos. This one-way is already longer than the model's two-hour daily minimum.
What drives your Houston → Cabo San Lucas price
- Billed time. The flight time shown for Houston to Cabo San Lucas (HOU to SJD) is 2h 24m. The price uses about 3 billed hours on a super-midsize at $5,200–7,600/hr, after the model's repositioning allowance.
- Taxes in the model. Houston to Cabo San Lucas is international, so the 7.5 percent U.S. domestic excise tax is not applied. The model adds $1,200 for international handling, and that amount is already inside the range on this page. It is not a customs invoice.
- The departure is William P. Hobby, not George Bush Intercontinental. Starting at Intercontinental is a different estimate.
- The international allowance is not a Mexican customs invoice. Ground time at Los Cabos still has to fit the day.
