In addition to its newest routes in Tennessee and Georgia, the increased departures in Texas will make it Vonlane’s busiest month on record.

“We’re seeing some of the highest demand we’ve ever seen for Vonlane’s signature coach service this fall as Texans gear up for business and leisure travel across the state,” said Alex Danza, founder/CEO of Vonlane. “This is a big milestone for us at Vonlane because it will exceed our pre-pandemic service offerings. We are thrilled to offer these new departures to accommodate travel plans so that our clients can leave at their convenience on the best luxury motor coach service in the nation.”

The new schedule will offer 20 departure routes between Dallas and Austin on peak travel days (Thursday and Friday), increased departures on the Dallas and Houston route on Monday through Wednesday, increased departures on the Austin and Houston route on Monday through Wednesday, and the most robust daily schedule yet on the Austin and Fort Worth route and the Houston and San Antonio route.

All routes run seven days a week.
