Forney to Love Field Airport Shuttle
Texas Shuttle runs door-to-door rides from Forney to Dallas Love Field (DAL) around the clock, 365 days a year. We pick up at your home, office, or hotel in Forney and drop you at the Love Field departures curb — no parking, no rideshare surge, no detours.
Note on the airport: Dallas Love Field (DAL) and DFW International (DFW) are two separate airports, about 18 miles apart. Love Field is the smaller, closer-to-downtown airport on the northwest side of Dallas, and it is the primary hub for Southwest Airlines. If your ticket says DAL, this is the right shuttle. If it says DFW, please use our Forney to DFW shuttle page instead.
Route Specifics: Forney to Love Field
The drive is about 27 road miles and typically takes 40 to 60 minutes depending on time of day. The default routing is US-80 West out of Forney into I-635 (LBJ Freeway) North, then I-35E South into Mockingbird Lane for the Love Field terminal entrance. In heavy rush-hour traffic (7-9 AM and 4-7 PM CT on weekdays) drivers will reroute via I-30 West and Stemmons (I-35E) to avoid LBJ backups; that alternate is sometimes longer in miles but more predictable on time. We monitor traffic live and choose the faster path for your specific pickup time.
Recommended Pickup Time for a Love Field Flight
Love Field is a midsize airport — security lines move faster than at DFW, but you should still plan for screening, walking to the gate, and any checked-bag drop. Our standard guidance for Forney to DAL:
- Domestic, carry-on only: Be at the curb at DAL 2 hours before departure, so pickup in Forney is about 3 hours pre-flight (60 minute drive + 30 minute buffer).
- Domestic, checked bag: 2.5 hours before departure, so pickup about 3.5 hours pre-flight.
- Early-morning flights (5-7 AM): Roads are clear; 50-minute door-to-curb is realistic, but TSA at DAL opens at 4:30 AM and lines back up fast 5:00-5:45 AM. Plan accordingly.
- Holiday weekends (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Memorial/Labor Day, Spring Break): Add 30 minutes — DAL security can run 45+ minutes.
If you tell us your flight number when you book, our dispatcher cross-checks the published departure time and will text you a recommended pickup window before your trip.
Pricing Context: What Forney to Love Field Typically Costs
Based on our actual completed trips between Forney and Love Field over the last 12 months (n=31 trips), the typical door-to-door fare is $92 on average, with most fares falling in the $65 to $134 range. The exact quote depends on:
- Group size. 1-2 passengers ride in a car or SUV at the lower end of the range. 4+ passengers go in a shuttle van; 7+ usually requires a larger van and is priced higher.
- Exact pickup address. A pickup on the west side of Forney (near US-80) is shorter than one in far east Forney or in nearby Talty or Heath, which adds a few miles.
- Time of day. Pre-dawn (before 5 AM) and late-night (after 10 PM) pickups carry a small overnight surcharge to compensate the driver.
- Round trip. If you book the return at the same time, you get a round-trip discount and the promo code ONLINE takes another 10% off.

Travel Tips: Love Field Arrivals and Departures
Departing (you flying out): Love Field has one terminal with 20 gates split across two concourses. Southwest Airlines operates most flights; Delta and Alaska also fly out of DAL. Our drivers drop you at the upper-level departures curb, right at the door for your airline.
Arriving (you flying in): After you land, head down to baggage claim on the lower level. Once you have your bags, text or call our driver — they will pull up to the lower-level arrivals curb in 2-5 minutes (drivers wait in the cell-phone lot a few minutes away, so we never charge airport parking). If your flight is delayed, no problem — we track your flight number automatically and adjust pickup time at no extra charge.
Luggage: Bring as many bags as your vehicle comfortably fits. If you have outsized items — golf clubs, skis, musical instruments, a stroller plus 4 suitcases — let us know at booking so we can upsize the vehicle.
Children and car seats: Texas law requires car seats for kids under 8 (or under 4 feet 9 inches). We will provide one on request if you let us know your child's age and weight at booking — please ask in advance, as we don't carry seats in every vehicle by default.
Why Choose Texas Shuttle Over Uber or Lyft for Love Field
- Fixed-price quote, no surge. Your fare is locked when you book. Uber and Lyft to Love Field commonly surge 1.5x to 3x during rush hour, early morning, and bad weather.
- Professional drivers, not gig drivers. Most of our drivers have 10+ years driving professionally in DFW and know every back-road shortcut to DAL.
- We wait for delays for free. If your flight is late, we track it and adjust. No driver canceling on you because they got a better fare.
- 24/7 dispatcher you can call. Real human at (817) 403-6196 who can re-route, change pickup time, or send a second vehicle if your group grows.
- Vehicle sized to your group. Car for 1-3, shuttle van for 4-6, larger van for 7+. We size before dispatch so you never get a Prius for a family of 5.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be at my pickup location 15 minutes before my scheduled pick-up time?
Yes — please be ready at the curb 10-15 minutes early. Our drivers run multiple trips per day, and a 5-minute delay at one pickup can ripple into a missed flight at the next. If you're running late, call the dispatcher immediately at (817) 403-6196 and we will hold the driver where possible.
How much luggage can I bring?
As many bags as your assigned vehicle holds. A car comfortably fits 2 passengers with 3-4 standard suitcases plus carry-ons. A shuttle van fits 4-6 passengers with 6-10 bags. Larger items (golf clubs, skis, instruments, oversized boxes) — please mention at booking so we send the right vehicle.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
We monitor your flight automatically when you provide the flight number at booking. If you arrive late, the driver is rescheduled at no charge. If you depart late and miss your originally scheduled pickup, call dispatch — we'll get you on the next available run.
Can I pay in cash, or do you require a card?
A card on file is required to confirm the reservation, but you can switch to cash payment with the driver at the time of pickup. Tips can also be paid in cash directly to the driver if you prefer.
How early should I book?
24-48 hours in advance is ideal. Same-day bookings are usually possible, but availability tightens for early-morning and Friday afternoon pickups. For Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Spring Break, book 1-2 weeks ahead.
