The March 4th at Lufkin, TX also has Travis Denning on the roster.  That's not an easy place to fly to.

But I don't think Scotty will be using the bus...it's a one off show.

Houston is the closest commercial airport.  If I remember correctly Lufkin is about 1 1/2 hrs North of Houston's main

in Airport.   My town of Weslaco is bigger than Lufkin, by about 10,000.
