Dallas is served mainly by two airports with different roles. Dallas/Fort Worth International (DFW) is a large international hub handling most long-haul and premium carriers; it’s typically used by American Airlines and many global partners and can be pricier on average for premium routes. Located roughly 20–25 miles northwest of downtown Dallas, DFW is reachable by rideshare or taxi in about 25–40 minutes depending on traffic (fares often range widely), and the Trinity Railway Express plus local shuttles provide rail and bus links that can take around 40–60 minutes. Pros: extensive connections and full amenities; cons: large terminals and potentially longer transfers. Dallas Love Field (DAL) functions more as a domestic/low-cost gateway, often served by Southwest and a few domestic carriers. It sits about 6 miles north of downtown, making it quicker to reach—roughly 15–25 minutes by taxi or rideshare, with short local bus options and occasional shuttle services; fares are generally lower than long-haul transfers. Pros: convenience and shorter commutes to the city center; cons: fewer international options and smaller terminal services.
