Air Travel
 

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.

  1. Make your appointment before setting any airline reservations.

     
  2. 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. 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
