Why a light jet fits this trip
For 946 nautical miles, a light jet like the HondaJet Elite II or Citation CJ4 Gen2 is the efficient choice. Both have range well beyond this leg, so you are not trading comfort for capability. The Citation CJ4 Gen2 carries up to 7 passengers and has a 71 cubic foot baggage area, enough for a golf trip or a long weekend. A midsize jet adds cabin height and a little more speed for $13,500 to $20,000, while a super-midsize or heavy jet costs more but flies the same 2 hour 25 minute block time.
If your group is larger than 7 or you want a stand-up cabin, then a super-midsize or heavy jet makes sense. Those classes run $17,500 to $35,000 on this route. A turboprop is the least expensive option at $8,000 to $12,500, but it takes 3 hours 37 minutes and is better suited to shorter legs. For most Austin to Las Vegas trips, the light jet balances cost and time.
