Shaquille O'Neal returns to Dallas after a weekend in the Tetons

Shaquille O'Neal flew from Driggs/Reed Memorial Airport in Idaho to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport on May 17, a 2-hour-33-minute hop in his Bombardier Challenger 605 (N3250N). The flight arrived at 16:55 UTC after a weekend likely spent in the Teton region, a popular escape for the 7-foot-1 former NBA star.

The trip returns O'Neal to his home in Carrollton, Texas, a Dallas suburb where he told The Dallas Morning News in 2023 he keeps a house as a “midway point” for West Coast business trips. He also owns Big Chicken franchises in the area and has been spotted at local spots like Nick & Sam's and Babe's Chicken Dinner House [dallasnews.com](http://ece.dallasnews.com/arts-entertainment/2023/06/22/shaq-talks-living-in-north-texas-why-hes-here-what-hes-launching-where-he-eats/).

The flight fits O'Neal's pattern of using Dallas as a base between cross-country travel. Earlier in the week, his jet had shuttled him from Las Vegas to Driggs, and before that from Minneapolis to Los Angeles and Los Angeles to the Twin Cities. For a man who once swore off private jets, the Challenger 605 has become a regular part of his schedule.
