Dallas is served primarily by Dallas/Fort Worth International (DFW) and Dallas Love Field (DAL). DFW functions as a major international and connecting hub, handling a wide mix of legacy and international carriers and typically offering more long-haul options; fares can be competitive on transcontinental and overseas routes. It sits about 20–25 miles from downtown (roughly 20–40 minutes by car in normal traffic). Ground options include regional trains and shuttles, airport shuttles and taxis, and ride‑hail services; expect window fare ranges for shared shuttles and taxis compared with public transit. Pros: broad flight choice and full‑service amenities; cons: larger footprint and longer transfers between terminals. Love Field is closer—about 6 miles northwest of downtown (10–20 minutes by car)—and is positioned as a smaller, more budget‑oriented airport with a heavy presence of low‑cost and domestic carriers. It often provides shorter check‑in and transfer times and easy road access; public buses and ride‑hail are common, with lower fares for local transit. Pros: convenience and shorter ground times; cons: fewer international routes and less extensive lounge and retail offerings.

San Francisco International (SFO) is the Bay Area’s primary international gateway and a major hub for full-service carriers, typically serving United, Alaska and many international airlines; it can feel pricier than nearby regional airports. Located about 13 miles south of downtown San Francisco, SFO is usually reached via BART in roughly 30–45 minutes for around $10–12, or by taxi/ride-hail in 20–40 minutes with fares varying by traffic. Ground transport also includes shuttle services and airport buses to neighboring cities. Pros: extensive international connections, full amenities and frequent flight choices. Cons: busy terminals and occasional delays; getting into downtown can be slower and costlier than outlying airports.
