Longview to Dallas Love Field: Route, Drive Time & Travel Tips
Distance and drive time. Longview to Dallas Love Field (DAL) is roughly 133 miles, almost entirely on Interstate 20 West. Off-peak the run takes about 2 hours 30 minutes door-to-curb. Add 20–45 minutes during weekday DFW rush windows (roughly 7–9 a.m. westbound into Dallas and 4–7 p.m. eastbound out), and budget extra around Cowboys home games, State Fair of Texas (late Sep–mid Oct), the Texas–OU weekend, and major Mesquite or Tyler-area event weekends — all of which back up the I-20 corridor.
The route we drive. From Longview pickups (Spring Hill, Hawkins Parkway, Pine Tree, Greggton, Judson, Mobberly, Gladewater Road, Bill Owens Parkway, and the addresses around Spring Creek, Heather Lane, and Yellowstone Drive) we leave on US-259 South or Estes Parkway to I-20 West, then run straight through Lindale, Canton, Terrell, and Mesquite into east Dallas. From I-20 we move to I-635 (LBJ Freeway) north, then the Dallas North Tollway or US-75 south, and drop you curbside at Love Field’s single terminal on Herb Kelleher Way. Our dispatcher monitors live traffic on I-20 west of Tyler and on the I-635 / Tollway interchange; if either backs up the driver flexes to US-80 or Northwest Highway to keep you on time.
When to leave for your flight. Love Field is a small, single-terminal airport with two security checkpoints. TSA PreCheck lines are usually under 10 minutes; standard lines run 10–25 minutes in the morning bank. From a Longview address we recommend leaving: 4 hours before a domestic flight for a typical off-peak departure, 4.5–5 hours before if your pickup window overlaps the 6–9 a.m. or 3–6 p.m. DFW rush, and 5+ hours before the first Southwest bank of the day or during major event weekends. That cushion absorbs the long I-20 leg plus terminal time.
Pricing context. Based on completed Longview↔Love Field trips in our system, real fares cluster around $253–$365 one-way depending on exact Longview pickup ZIP, time of day, and vehicle size, with the median around $290. This is a long-haul corridor (133 miles each way), so it’s priced by quote rather than a fixed flat rate — you see the exact total before you book, and we don’t add surge pricing, fuel surcharges, or airport fees after the fact. Round-trip and group bookings price below two one-ways. Pickups from outlying addresses (Kilgore, Gladewater, Hallsville, White Oak, Diana, Marshall) are quoted from the same base — just ask.
Pickup inside Love Field on arrival. When you fly back into DAL, exit baggage claim and walk to the ground-transportation island directly outside doors 4–6. Your driver meets you there (or curbside if you have minimal bags) within 5–10 minutes of your text. Love Field does not have a separate cellphone waiting lot the way DFW does, so we time the pickup to your actual baggage-claim window rather than wheels-down — you’re not waiting and we’re not circling. Plan on roughly 2 hours 45 minutes back to Longview from when you clear baggage.
Luggage and vehicle fit. Standard Longview–Love Field bookings ride in a clean late-model SUV or sedan that comfortably fits 2–3 passengers with 3–4 large suitcases plus carry-ons. Groups of 4–6 with luggage should book a large SUV; 7+ moves to a Transit van. Tell us at booking if you’re carrying golf clubs, hunting gear, skis, a stroller, a wheelchair, or a car seat — we’ll match the right vehicle and confirm the fit in writing before pickup.
DFW vs. Love Field from Longview. Some travelers ask whether DFW is faster. Dallas/Fort Worth International (DFW) is also reachable on I-20 West, but DFW sits west of downtown Dallas while Love Field is north-central, so total drive time from Longview is similar (DFW about 2 hours 30–45 minutes, Love Field about 2 hours 30 minutes). Pick the airport that matches your airline (Southwest concentrates at DAL; American, United, Delta, and most international carriers run from DFW) — we serve both at comparable rates from East Texas.
If your plans change. Reschedule or cancel up to 4 hours before pickup at no charge by replying to your confirmation email or texting our dispatcher. Inside 4 hours we’ll do our best to flex the time; same-day full cancellations are subject to our standard policy. Flights delayed or moved? Tell us and we’ll slide your pickup window to match — we track inbound flights automatically when you give us the flight number at booking.

What time should I be picked up?

How many bags can I bring?
You are welcome to bring as many carry-on bags and personal items as you need for your trip. However, we do ask that larger suitcases be checked at the airport if possible to ensure a smooth boarding process.
