    Luxury bus company Vonlane is crossing the Red River once again, bringing back its route between Dallas and Oklahoma City. Bookings open Tuesday, June 23 with service beginning on Tuesday, September 8, according to a release.

    The Dallas-based motor coach service had introduced service to Oklahoma City as its first destination outside of Texas in 2019. Despite the route's popularity, Vonlane halted the service during COVID shut-downs in early 2020 and waited all these years to bring it back.

    “The Dallas-Oklahoma City route has always meant a lot to our passengers, and they never stopped asking for it,” said Alex Danza, Founder and CEO of Vonlane, in a statement. “When demand changed, we made the difficult decision to pause service. Today, the market is telling us it’s time to return. Bringing back Oklahoma City is a great way to celebrate 12 years of growth while staying focused on what our riders want most.”

    Dallas and Oklahoma City will be connected by multiple daily departures seven days a week. The schedule will be:

    • Sunday-Friday: Dallas to/from Oklahoma City at 10:15 am and 2:15 pm
    • Saturday: Oklahoma City to Dallas at 9 am and Dallas to Oklahoma City at 1 pm.

    The 200-mile journey lasts about three hours (always depending on traffic).

    The Dallas departure and arrival location is the DoubleTree by Hilton Dallas Love Field, 3300 W. Mockingbird Ln. The Oklahoma departure and arrival location is the Omni Oklahoma City Hotel, 100 Oklahoma City Blvd.

    The fare is $129 one-way. Fares are flat rate with no taxes, baggage, or change fees, the company says.

    Vonlane buses have 22 first-class leather seats, ample workspace, complimentary Starlink Wi-Fi, and an onboard attendant offering premium cabin service with snacks and non-alcoholic beverages included. Alcohol is available for purchase. Tickets can be booked at www.vonlane.com and via the Vonlane app, available for Apple and Android devices.

    Vonlane was founded in 2014 and offers more than over 600 departures weekly across 11 cities. Routes operate in Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, Plano, San Antonio, The Woodlands, and Oklahoma City; between Atlanta, Georgia, and Nashville, Tennessee; and between Nashville and Memphis.

    Steve Keenan, general manager of Omni Oklahoma City Hotel, says the city is ready to welcome guests who ride across the Red River on the Vonlane.

    “Vonlane’s return to the Dallas-Oklahoma City corridor gives travelers a comfortable, reliable way to move between our two cities,” he says. “We’re excited to welcome more visitors to Oklahoma City in a way that makes the trip part of the experience.”

    Canyon Ranch Austin is opening in October 2026.

    One of the world's most celebrated wellness brands is finally ready to make its Texas Hill Country debut: Canyon Ranch Austin is now accepting reservations for stays beginning October 15, 2026, at its highly anticipated retreat in Spicewood.

    First announced in 2022, Canyon Ranch Austin sits on a sprawling 600-plus-acre ranch at 600 Moonlight Bend in Spicewood, an hour from downtown Austin. The destination spa-resort boasts 141 luxuriously appointed guest rooms that overlook 1.5 miles of Lake Travis and the countryside beyond.

    The retreat boasts the largest spa in Texas, at 40,000 square feet, encompassing 37 treatment rooms, whirlpools, therapy tubs, steam rooms, lounges, and more.

    Canyon Ranch Austin will also debut a women-only wellness collective, which a press release states is "the world's only dedicated practice and program in a resort setting with specialized offerings for women in every chapter of life."

    Canyon Ranch will also provide four food and beverage concepts for guests to enjoy. Notably, the resort's signature restaurant Estella will feature a world-class culinary program led by Chef Val Cantú, who was born in Texas and whose San Francisco restaurant, Californios, has earned two Michelin Stars.

    Additional features of the property include:

    • A 27,000-square-foot barn that includes a gym, fitness studios, and an outdoor turf field "for fitness, movement, and leading-edge recovery"
    • A 12,000-square-foot medical center
    • Private beach on Lake Travis and space for watersports
    • Five miles of hike-and-bike ranch trails
    • Tennis, pickleball, and padel courts
    • Two outdoor pools
    • A wildflower workshop, garden, and equestrian program

    The Austin-area resort is the fifth property in Canyon Ranch's portfolio. The premier wellness brand opened its flagship in Tucson, Arizona, in 1979 and is now headquartered in Fort Worth, home to a Canyon Ranch wellness club and spa.

    Since its founding nearly five decades ago, Canyon Ranch has become one of the best-known names in the wellness and spa industry worldwide.

    Canyon Ranch CEO Mark Rivers said the new Hill Country resort represents the brand's "bold vision for the future" that shows "what's next in the intersection of travel, hospitality, well-being, care, and culture."

    "People today are seeking something fundamentally different from their travels and getaways — life-changing experiences, connection, health, wisdom, and joy," Rivers said in the release. "Time at Canyon Ranch answers the call, with stays inspired to help our guests live younger longer, pursue happiness, reconnect, or relax and feed body, mind, and spirit."

    Canyon Ranch Austin will be surrounded by a 134-home residential community, The Ranch Home Collection, that will receive exclusive access to the resort and an on-site concierge wellness program. Homes are currently under construction, per the release.

    Stays at Canyon Ranch Austin start at $1,325 per night, which includes a $200 nightly spa and fitness credit that can be used on spa and treatment services. Stays for more than three nights include an additional $300 health and wellness credit. Stays can be booked on canyonranch.com.
