How to get from the airport to the city centre?
Dallas:
There are a few ways you can travel the 24km distance between the airport and the city of Dallas. One of the most cost-effective and quickest ways to travel is to jump on the train. The Trinity Railway Express operates through the airport every day except Sunday, so factor this into your plans. Another option is the Airporter Shuttle service, which you can find at the upper levels of each terminal. If your hotel is one of the scheduled stops for the bus service then you may buy a ticket and jump on. It’s worth looking into which hotels are on the list after you’ve purchased your cheap flights to Texas. Lastly you can look into a taxi service, however the fee is considerably more than both the shuttle and the train service. If you can split the fare with a friend then it can be more user-friendly, however a solo traveler will quickly spend their budget through taxi journeys.
Houston:
Houston has one of the biggest airports you’ll likely fly into, so it’s very helpful to check out the airport guide before you travel. If you’re not in a hurry, then your best way of getting into the centre is via the bus services. They operate every 30 minutes and have several stops downtown. You can find the bus stops outside of Terminal C, so you can figure out which bus is best for you from there. You can also consider shared-ride services and shuttles. However, the prices vary depending on your ultimate destination. Again taxis are an option to consider, but you’ll be looking at around $45-$50 for the trip. Taxis are most useful if you are in a hurry or have too much baggage for a bus trip. Travelling with friends who can share to fare with you also makes a taxi more worthwhile.
Austin:
Austin is a relatively small airport in comparison to others in Texas.However, it is only 8km away from the centre making transportation rather easy to come by for a cheaper price. You can decide to take bus service 350 which visits more of North Austin and there are easy transfer options for other areas of the city. For around one dollar you could also take the Airport Flyer to the Downtown MetroRail Station and go from there. You can jump on the Super Shuttle which will take you directly to the centre. You can also buy a return ticket which may be more convenient and will save you money if you plan on using the Super Shuttle on the journey back to the airport. Taxis are your only other option, although they aren’t the cheapest method of transport, despite the airport being only 8km away.
