Route Details: North Richland Hills to DFW Airport
Holiday Inn in North Richland Hills sits just off Northeast Loop 820, putting you about 16 miles and a 20-30 minute drive from DFW International Airport under normal traffic. Our driver takes the most direct route: Loop 820 west to Highway 121 (Airport Freeway), then International Parkway south into the airport terminals. Off-peak, the trip is usually 22-25 minutes door-to-curb. During morning rush (6:30-9:00 a.m.) or evening rush (4:30-6:30 p.m.) on the same corridor, plan an extra 10-15 minutes — we factor live traffic into your dispatch time so you arrive on schedule.
