Travel, time zone and arrival
East Texas Regional Airport (GGG) is 87 km (54 mi) away, far enough that arrival day is genuinely a travel day and a first session before noon will lose people.

Lufkin, Palestine and Longview are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Nacogdoches has nothing free on your dates.
