A to S Airport Shuttle

Texas Shuttle provides private, door-to-door airport transportation between S, Texas and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (A). Because S sits immediately east and southeast of the airport, this is one of the shortest, most reliable corridors we run — a typical door-to-door ride is about 15–25 minutes in light traffic. On arrivals we meet you at baggage claim or Prearranged and drive you straight home; on departures we pick you up at your home, hotel, or office anywhere in S (including Las Colinas, Valley Ranch, and the Hospital District) and take you directly to your terminal in a clean, late-model vehicle with no shared stops and no transfers.

Popular nearby runs include the S to Dallas shuttle, the S to Fort Worth shuttle, and the S to Love Field (DAL) shuttle for travelers flying Southwest.

A to S: Distance, Drive Time & the Routes We Use

S city center is roughly 6–8 miles from the main A terminal area as the crow flies, but the right road route depends on where in S you are starting from:For trips between S To Dfw and Lewisville, see our S to Lewisville shuttle.

  • Las Colinas / North S

    Staying at a Las Colinas hotel like the Residence Inn? See our Residence Inn Las Colinas to A shuttle for the same TX-114 direct route — ~11 miles, flat-rate door-to-door.

    (75038, 75039, 75063):
    we typically take TX-114 W directly into the airport's north entry — about 7–12 miles and 15–25 minutes off-peak.
  • Central / South S (75060, 75061, 75062): we usually run TX-183 W (Airport Freeway) or Loop 12 to the south entry — about 8–10 miles and 20–25 minutes.
  • Valley Ranch / Coppell border (75063): we use TX-121 S or MacArthur Blvd straight into the airport, typically under 20 minutes.

Rush-hour traffic on TX-114 and TX-183 can add 10–15 minutes on weekday mornings, so we build a buffer into every pickup time when you share your flight.

A Airport Terminals: Where We Drop You Off

What Does an A to S Shuttle Cost?

Private door-to-door fares between A and S typically start from around $48 for a sedan and run higher for SUVs, shuttles, or pickups deeper inside S — the median real fare on this corridor is about $90. Every price is a flat, all-in total for the vehicle (not a per-person fare), so a couple, family, or small group travels for one price.

A to S Travel Tips

  • Leave for A earlier than you think. Even though the drive itself is short, TSA wait times at A routinely run 15–30 minutes for general lanes (and can spike past 45 minutes on Monday mornings and Sunday evenings). We recommend pickup 2 hours before domestic departures and 3 hours before international.
  • Skip airport parking. A Terminal Parking runs $24/day and Express runs $12–$15/day. For trips of 3+ days, a round-trip shuttle is almost always cheaper than parking — and you keep your car at home.
  • Group together on one fare. Because pricing is per vehicle, splitting a shuttle between 3–4 travelers usually beats separate rideshares or two cars to long-term parking.
  • Share your flight number. We track your flight, so a delayed inbound or moved departure does not turn into a missed pickup.
  • Book the return up front. Locking in the return at the same time earns the 10% online round-trip discount and guarantees a vehicle is waiting at the curb when you land.
