Traveling from Austin to Dallas usually means either a grueling drive on I-35 or a tedious wait in the security lines at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. As someone who often makes the trip to visit family, I know the routine well.
With FIFA World Cup 2026 soccer matches expected to strain transportation in both Texas cities this summer, one luxury package offers Austin soccer fans a much smoother alternative.
Private aviation company Cirrus Aviation and Hôtel Swexan have created the “Runway to Rivalry Experience.” The limited-availability package pairs round-trip private jet service from Austin with a two-night stay at one of Dallas’ most design-forward hotels for FIFA World Cup 2026 matches.
I recently flew on a Cirrus private jet to Dallas to preview the FIFA World Cup package—without a soccer match itself. I quickly realized the package is much more than transportation and a luxury hotel stay. You can read all about it in my story for FYI50+, a lifestyle magazine based in Dallas.
