    Luxury bus service drives into Houston with $15 fares to top Texas destinations

    John Egan
    Oct 19, 2021 | 1:20 pm

    A luxury bus line just rolled out its nonstop service in Houston, Dallas, Austin, College Station, and Waco.

    Orlando, Florida-based RedCoach, which launched in 2010, announced its entry into the Texas market on Monday, October 18. To celebrate the Texas expansion, RedCoach is offering $15 fares for in-state routes from now until November 16. Typically, fares start at $25 and fluctuate based on demand. The maximum one-way fare is $60, and the maximum round-trip fare is $120.

    Each motorcoach contains 26 reclining seats. Amenities include free Wi-Fi, power outlets, onboard entertainment, complimentary snacks and water, and no baggage fees.

    RedCoach competes against Dallas-based Vonlane, which serves Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, and San Antonio. RedCoach bills itself as an affordable option for luxury transportation. (But where's the love for Fort Worth and San Antonio?)

    “Texas has grown tremendously over the past decade, and as more people and businesses migrate to the state, it makes sense for RedCoach to bring a new way of travel to the market,” Florencia Cirigliano, vice president of marketing at RedCoach, says in a news release.

    RedCoach’s nonstop routes in Texas connect:

    • Houston with Austin, College Station, Dallas, and Waco.
    • Dallas with Austin, College Station, Houston, and Waco.
    • Austin with Dallas, Houston, and Waco.
    • College Station with Dallas and Houston.
    • Waco with Austin, Dallas, and Houston.

    Here are RedCoach’s pickup and drop-off points in Texas:

    • Houston — Residence Inn Houston Downtown/Convention Center, 904 Dallas St.
    • Dallas — Curbside adjacent to Café Herrera and Omni Dallas Hotel entrance, 593 S. Lamar St.
    • Austin — Embassy Suites by Hilton, 300 S. Congress Ave.
    • College Station — Texas A&M University’s Wisenbaker Engineering Building, 188 Bizzell St.
    • Waco — Tiger Mart, 1020 S. Fifth St.

    “It is important to RedCoach that our passengers experience stress-free travel, which is why we require passengers to arrive only 15 minutes before departure. But most importantly, we believe everyone deserves a comfortable travel experience at an affordable rate,” Cirigliano says.

    The new service travels between Austin and Dallas, Houston, and Waco.

    Texas airport lands new lounges and exclusive check-in from American

    American Airlines has new lounges — and more — in store for DFW travelers.

    Fresh off welcoming thousands of travelers for the World Cup, American Airlines has unveiled a batch of luxe upgrades coming to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. Two new lounges — including the largest Admirals Club in the airline's history — and American's "Flagship" check-in experience are on the horizon for DFW.

    The brand-new Admirals Club will encompass 37,000 square feet of space near the Skylink station in Terminal C. Travelers can expect new "enhancements," such as ample space for relaxing, chef-inspired menu offerings and all-day food choices, and a premium beverage program.

    "Thoughtfully designed with a variety of seating options, premium amenities and dedicated areas for work and relaxation, the lounge will serve as a modern home away from home for travelers connecting through American's largest hub," the release says.

    The new club will join the first phase of DFW's long-awaited Terminal C expansion, which was unveiled earlier this summer. It includes new state-of-the-art electronic boarding gates, concessions, upgraded amenities, and more.

    American will also build a Provisions by Admirals Club lounge in DFW's future Terminal F, which is expected to open in 2027. The release is mum on details, but says the Provisions lounge will serve as an efficient grab-and-go space for travelers to find high-quality food, drinks, and other travel necessities "in a streamlined setting."

    And, finally, American will bring its exclusive "Flagship" check-in experience to DFW later this year. The dedicated space allows travelers to privately check in for their flights. It will be located near Terminal D's D30 security checkpoint, offering travelers easy access to security screenings and personalized assistance from American staff.

    "We're investing in every stage of the premium travel journey at DFW, beginning the moment customers arrive at the airport," says Heather Garboden, American’s Chief Customer Officer. "Our Flagship check-in experience offers a more tailored and streamlined start to the journey, bringing together dedicated service, premium amenities and greater convenience for our most loyal and premium customers."

    DFW will become the fourth U.S. airport to boast American's Flagship check-in experience; the others are in Chicago (ORD), Los Angeles (LAX), and Miami (MIA). London Heathrow Airport is the only other American hub that offers the Flagship feature.
