Virtually every major airline in the United States flies into DFW International Airport. For those who are traveling within the state, additional air travel is available through Dallas Love Field.
- Make your appointment before setting any airline reservations.
- If you are traveling by air to Dallas-Ft. Worth (DFW) International Airport , it will take you approximately one hour by car to reach the campus. If you are flying into Love Field Airport , it will take approximately one hour and thirty minutes. Please budget for this time when planning your visit.
If you fly to the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, we suggest that you rent a car at the airport. Taxi fare from DFW is approximately $45-$60 for one way.
