Daily Schedule (Dallas to Shreveport)

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 Shreveport 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.

Dallas to Shreveport: Your Complete Travel Guide

Last reviewed: 2026 — fares, schedules, and road conditions change often, so confirm details before you travel.

The trip from Dallas to Shreveport is one of the most traveled corridors connecting North Texas and Northwest Louisiana. Whether you're heading east for a weekend on the Red River, a business meeting, or to visit family across state lines, you have several practical ways to make the roughly 190-mile journey. This guide breaks down every option — driving, flying, and shuttle service — with the local details you need to plan a smooth trip.

How Far Is Dallas to Shreveport?

Shreveport sits about 190 miles east of Dallas, depending on your starting point in the Metroplex. From downtown Dallas, the drive covers approximately 188 miles; from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), add roughly 20 more miles. Most drivers complete the trip in about three hours under normal traffic and weather conditions.

The route crosses the Texas–Louisiana state line near Waskom, Texas, and continues into Caddo Parish, where Shreveport anchors the Shreveport–Bossier City metropolitan area along the Red River.

Driving from Dallas to Shreveport

For most travelers, Interstate 20 East is the obvious and only sensible highway. Here's how the drive breaks down:

The Route: I-20 East

Dallas to Terrell (approx. 32 miles): You'll exit the Metroplex on I-20 East, passing through Mesquite before reaching Terrell, home to the No. 1 British Flying Training School Museum, which commemorates the WWII-era flight training program.
Terrell to Tyler (approx. 40 miles): The highway rolls through East Texas piney woods toward Tyler, the Rose Capital of America and the largest city between Dallas and Shreveport.
Tyler to Longview (approx. 40 miles): I-20 clips the northern edge of Tyler before passing Kilgore, famous for the East Texas Oil Museum and its historic oil derricks, and then Longview.
Longview to Marshall (approx. 25 miles): Marshall is a historic East Texas town known for its historic downtown and as the home of Wiley University and Texas College-era debate heritage.
Marshall to Shreveport (approx. 40 miles): Cross the state line at Waskom, pass through Greenwood, Louisiana, and continue into Shreveport as I-20 approaches the downtown riverfront.

Road Trip Stops Worth Making

If you have flexibility, the I-20 corridor between Dallas and Shreveport is rich with East Texas character:

Tyler Rose Garden: The largest municipal rose garden in the United States, at peak bloom in spring and during the Texas Rose Festival each October.
Kilgore's World's Richest Acre: A downtown park marking the dense cluster of oil derricks from the 1930s East Texas oil boom.
Longview: A convenient fuel and food stop with plenty of familiar chain restaurants and local barbecue spots just off the interstate.
Caddo Lake (short detour): Near the Louisiana line, Caddo Lake State Park offers one of Texas's most unique landscapes — cypress swools draped with Spanish moss. It's roughly 30 minutes south of I-20 from Karnack.

Driving Tips for the I-20 Corridor

Construction and widening projects on I-20 east of Dallas are common; check TxDOT and Louisiana DOTD road condition pages before departing.
East Texas weather can turn quickly — thunderstorms in spring and occasional ice storms in winter can slow the drive significantly.
Gas, food, and lodging are plentiful at Tyler, Longview, and Marshall exits, but services thin out between Marshall and Shreveport.
You'll cross from Central Time into Central Time — Louisiana observes the same time zone as Dallas, so no clock changes are needed.

Flying from Dallas to Shreveport

If you'd rather not drive, the air option is short and straightforward. Shreveport Regional Airport (SHV) is the primary commercial airport serving Northwest Louisiana, located about five miles southwest of downtown Shreveport.

Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW) to Shreveport Regional (SHV)

American Airlines operates nonstop service between Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and Shreveport Regional Airport. The flight time is approximately one hour, making it one of the shortest mainline hops in the region. Because of the short duration, the total door-to-door time — including getting to DFW, clearing security, boarding, and ground transportation on the Shreveport end — often approaches the drive time, especially if you live near DFW Airport.

Travelers can typically choose between economy class and other fare classes depending on availability. As fare aggregator data from Skyscanner and American Airlines shows, pricing on this route varies considerably by booking window, day of week, and season — check aa.com or skyscanner.com for current round-trip fares before locking in your dates.

Which Dallas Airport Should You Use?

Commercial service between Dallas and Shreveport operates out of DFW International. Dallas Love Field (DAL), the home base for Southwest Airlines, does not offer nonstop service to Shreveport, so if you're connecting from another Southwest flight, factor in ground transfer time between Love Field and DFW — about 30–45 minutes via the Sam Rayburn Tollway or International Parkway area routes.

Arriving in Shreveport: What to Know

Shreveport Regional Airport (SHV)

Shreveport Regional is a compact, easy-to-navigate airport a short drive from downtown. Rental car counters, taxis, and rideshare services are available on-site. Because the airport is small, deplaning to curbside typically takes minutes rather than the lengthy walks familiar to DFW travelers.

Downtown Shreveport and the Red River

Shreveport sits on the Red River, directly across from its twin city, Bossier City. Highlights include the Shreveport riverfront along Clyde Fant Parkway, the Louisiana State Exhibit Museum, and the Sci-Port Discovery Center. The Shreveport Downtown Airport and the city's aviation history are commemorated at the 8th Air Force Museum on Barksdale Air Force Base in Bossier City, home to the B-52 exhibits — note that base access requires following current visitor policies.

The Shreveport–Bossier area is also known for its riverboat casinos along the Red River, including venues on both the Shreveport and Bossier City banks, making it a popular weekend destination for East Texas travelers.

Best Time to Travel from Dallas to Shreveport

The I-20 corridor is drivable year-round, but conditions vary by season:

Spring (March–May): Pleasant temperatures and East Texas in bloom, but expect thunderstorm potential, especially in April and May.
Summer (June–August): Hot and humid on both sides of the state line — keep your vehicle's A/C in good order and plan fuel stops accordingly.
Fall (September–November): Arguably the best window. Mild weather, fall foliage in the piney woods, and events like the State Fair of Louisiana in Shreveport.
Winter (December–February): Generally mild, but freezing rain and ice occasionally shut down stretches of I-20 in East Texas, where road treatment resources are limited.

DFW - Prearranged Limo is located at the lower level of each terminal. Please choose the closest one to your gate and let your driver know when they call or text you.
