Midland is the business and financial center of the Permian Basin, the most productive oil field in the United States. Exploration and production companies, oilfield service firms, landmen, bankers and investors keep offices here, and the pace of activity in the field translates directly into demand for travel. Deals are made in Midland, then crews and engineers fan out to well sites and offices across hundreds of miles of West Texas and southeastern New Mexico.

That geography is what makes private flying such a natural fit. Drives to Dallas, Houston or San Antonio take most of a day, and a visit to a remote lease can add hours more. A direct flight lets an executive team review operations, meet investors and be home the same evening. For leisure, Midland and neighboring Odessa offer more than oil: the Petroleum Museum, the childhood home of George W. Bush, minor league baseball and West Texas steakhouses. The Davis Mountains, McDonald Observatory and the Big Bend region are within reach for a weekend away from the oil patch.

Things to do in Midland

When to go. Midland’s semiarid climate means sunny skies most of the year. Spring and fall are the most comfortable seasons, though spring winds can kick up dust. Summers are hot and dry, with cooler nights than eastern Texas, and winters are short and mild with occasional cold fronts. Business travel follows activity in the oil field rather than the calendar, so book early when industry gatherings fill local hotels.
