Our Daily Schedule (Dallas to Odessa)
What is your daily schedule?
We pick you up on your schedule 24/7, and take you anywhere in Dallas and Fort Worth. Our professional shuttle drivers are normally 5-10 minutes early at your home in Fort Worth and Dallas, or right on time at Dallas Fort Worth. You pick the time we pick you up. Normally 30 minutes after you land is enough time to get your bags and find Prearranged.
What is my pickup time at DFW?
We normally pick you up 30 minutes after your plane lands for domestic flights, or 45 mins after for international flights. If you don't have bags, you can schedule your pickup time for 15 mins after you land, or 30 mins for international flights with no bags.
What happens if my flight is delayed in Dallas?
Pickup times automatically adjust to 30 minutes after you land if your flight is delayed for domestic flights at DFW, or 45 minutes after you land for international flights. Please let us know as soon as possible if your flight number changes. You can always text us if there is a delay. This is helpful since airlines don't always update things online when they are late.
What happens if my flight in Dallas arrives early?
Call or send us a text if you want us to pick you up early at Dallas Fort Worth, and we will let your shuttle driver know that you are ready to be picked up. Otherwise, we will pick you up at the scheduled time on your reservation. If it's hot outside, please wait inside the DFW terminal closest to prearranged until your car or airport shuttle is a minute or so away.
How soon should I make a reservation?
Although there is no set rule that prevents booking a Dallas to Odessa Shuttle last minute, it's a good idea to make your reservation as soon as possible so a shuttle driver is available and prevent any delays with picking you up. There's no need to confirm again if you've already made a reservation, and received a confirmation email.
How long does it take from Dallas or Fort Worth Texas?
Texas Shuttle trips from Dallas or Fort Worth Texas in normal traffic are about an hour and forty minutes versus three and a half hours on the bus with a bunch of people. Rush hour in downtown Dallas and Fort Worth will normally add 15-45 mins (30 mins on the average). You might think there's no way a bus or another shared ride shuttle company in Dallas or Fort Worth Shuttle would take that long, but they stop and wait 3-5 times to pickup people. Buses and other shuttles also don't leave on your schedule, so you might wait 30 mins - 1.5 hours if the bus is running late. With us it's just you going straight to Fort Worth or Dallas, normally non-stop in a nicer vehicle or shuttle.
What time should I be picked up?
The drive to Fort Worth is about 1 hour and 40 minutes. 3 hours and 30 minutes before your flight is normally enough time if you're going to DFW. Dallas Fort Worth recommends you be there 2 hours early to get through security and find your gate. Boarding in Dallas usually starts 30 mins before your plane takes off. However, one hour and thirty mins is generally okay. Dallas and Fort Worth Shuttle driving takes about 2 hours, then 3 and a half hours before your flight takes off is normally good. You start running the risk that they will give your seat away in Dallas about 40 mins before your flight takes off. Sometimes a little extra time is good and makes your trip to Fort Worth stress free by adjusting for the unexpected.

Travelers heading from Dallas to Odessa often start their journey in the bustling Uptown district, glide past the historic Deep Ellum murals, and then join the direct interstate route that cuts across West Texas’s rolling plains. After crossing the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, the road bends through small towns such as Westlake and Big Spring, offering a glimpse of the Permian Basin’s oil‑rich landscape before arriving in Odessa’s vibrant downtown, just steps from the Ector County Coliseum and the Odessa Museum of Art.
Our shuttle is popular with oil‑field workers commuting to the Permian Basin, families visiting relatives in Odessa’s historic Midland‑Odessa area, and concert‑goers heading to the State Fair of Texas events in the city. The drive typically takes 7 to 8 hours, depending on traffic out of Dallas and weather conditions across West Texas, giving passengers plenty of time to relax, catch up on work, or enjoy the expansive scenery.
Because we monitor flight schedules in real time, any Dallas‑Fort Worth International or Love Field delays are reflected in our pickup times, ensuring you reach Odessa without unnecessary waiting. Our vehicles provide a comfortable, door‑to‑door experience from the moment you step out of your Dallas neighborhood to your final stop in Odessa.
What luggage can I bring on the Dallas‑to‑Odessa shuttle?
We accommodate standard suitcases, duffel bags, and any personal items you need for a long trip. If you have oversized equipment related to oil‑field work, just let us know when you book so we can prepare the appropriate space.
Do you offer any stops along the way?
Our service is door‑to‑door, but we can arrange a brief, pre‑planned stop in a major town if you need to stretch or refuel. Just inform us at the time of reservation.

Flight Options: Dallas Love Field (DAL) to Midland/Odessa International Airport (MAF)
The most direct air route links Dallas Love Field (DAL) with Midland/Odessa International Airport (MAF). Southwest Airlines operates daily nonstop service on this corridor, and flight schedules are typically released several months in advance. According to Southwest.com, observed fares for DAL‑MAF trips in September 2026 ranged from approximately $155 to $269, reflecting variations by day of week and how far ahead the ticket is purchased. These figures are estimates; actual prices depend on availability, fare class, and travel dates.
Travel time in the air averages about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Love Field offers convenient parking, rental car counters, and a variety of dining options, while MAF provides ground transportation shuttles to downtown Odessa and nearby hotels.
For travelers seeking alternative airports, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) also offers connecting flights to MAF via major carriers, though these itineraries usually involve a layover and increase total travel time to 4–6 hours.

Bus Travel: Greyhound, Megabus, and Regional Carriers

Train Travel: Amtrak Connections
Direct passenger rail service between Dallas and Odessa does not currently exist. The nearest Amtrak station is in Fort Worth, served by the Texas Eagle line, which runs daily between Chicago and San Antonio.
