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.
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. Taxi fare from Love Field is approximately $70 one way. In addition, there are two shuttle services you may want to consider:
Airporter Bus Service will take you to and from the DFW airport from downtown Fort Worth hotels. From there, you will have to take a taxi to campus. For more information about the Airporter, call (817) 334-0092 or visit their web site: http://www.the-t.com
SuperShuttle will also take you to and from the DFW airport from our campus or Fort Worth hotels. They do offer door-to-door service. For more information about SuperShuttle, please call (817) 329-2000 or visit their web site: http://www.supershuttle.com
