S to A Airport Shuttle
Welcome to Texas Shuttle, your premier choice for reliable, comfortable door-to-door transportation from S, Texas to Dallas A Airport (DAL). Coppell to A shuttle Dallas A shuttle Our private shuttles, SUVs, and sedans pick you up at your address anywhere in S — from Las Colinas and Valley Ranch to Old Town S and the University of Dallas area — and deliver you curbside at the DAL terminal, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The drive from S to Dallas A is approximately 9 to 10 miles depending on your exact pickup address. Our drivers typically take TX-114 East out of S, connect to the Dallas North Tollway South, and exit at Mockingbird Lane / Cedar Springs Road to reach Herb Kelleher Way at the DAL terminal. From central S or Las Colinas, the door-to-curbside drive time is normally 18 to 25 minutes outside of rush hour, and 25 to 40 minutes during peak DFW traffic (7–9 AM weekdays inbound, 4–7 PM weekdays outbound). We monitor I-635 LBJ, the Dallas North Tollway, and TX-114 incidents in real time and reroute when needed.
If you're flying out of DFW International instead of A, that's a shorter ride from S — usually 7 to 12 miles depending on pickup. S to DFW shuttle We also serve nearby pickup areas including Las Colinas and the rest of the Dallas metro.
Dallas A Terminal — What to Expect
Dallas A (DAL) operates a single main terminal with two concourses and roughly 20 gates. Unlike larger hub airports, you won't be sorting between separate "Terminal A" and "Terminal B" check-in buildings — everything (Southwest, Delta, Alaska, and the small charter operators) departs from the same passenger terminal on Herb Kelleher Way. We drop you curbside at your airline's door, your driver helps unload your luggage, and you walk straight to check-in or TSA. For return pickups, just call (817) 403-6196 when your bags are off the carousel and we'll meet you at the A arrivals curb — we monitor major flight delays and adjust your pickup time automatically when we have your flight number.
Route Details & Travel Tips
How early should I leave S for my flight? For domestic Southwest flights out of DAL, we recommend booking your pickup 2 hours before scheduled departure (2.5 hours during summer/holiday peaks). A's security lines are usually shorter than DFW's, but Southwest's open-boarding model rewards early arrivals with better seat selection.
Shuttle vs. driving and parking? A's daily parking runs about $24/day in the Garage and $19/day in the Surface Lot. For a 4-day trip, that's $76–$96 in parking before you factor in gas, mileage, and the stress of LBJ traffic on your return. A door-to-door shuttle for one or two passengers is typically comparable or cheaper, with no parking shuttle to ride and no car sitting in the lot.
Group size and luggage. For 1–3 passengers we send a clean late-model sedan or SUV. For 4–7 passengers (families, sports teams, business groups out of Las Colinas) we dispatch a shuttle van sized to your party and bag count — tell us your headcount, checked bags, and any oversized items (golf clubs, ski bags, strollers) at booking and we'll send the right vehicle the first time.
Pickups across S. S airport shuttle service We serve every S ZIP including 75038, 75039 (Las Colinas), 75060 (Old S), 75061, 75062, and 75063 (Valley Ranch / Hackberry Creek). Hotel pickups at the Westin S Convention Center, Omni Las Colinas, Four Seasons Las Colinas, Texican Court, and DoubleTree Dallas Near the Galleria are routine for us — we know the property entrances and porte-cocheres so you don't wait.
What time should I expect my driver?
Your dedicated driver will arrive within 15 minutes of your scheduled pickup time. Please be ready to board when we arrive so we can stay on schedule for you and the next passenger.
How many bags can I bring along?
Standard suitcases and carry-ons are included. For oversized items, sports gear, or extra bags, mention it when booking so we can send a larger vehicle (SUV or van) instead of a sedan.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Call us at (817) 403-6196 once you land, or share your flight number at booking and we'll track it automatically. Our flexible scheduling lets us adjust your pickup time to match your actual landing — we wait for reasonable delays at no extra charge.

Overview of Traveling from S to A
If you’re looking for the most efficient way to go from S to A, you have several choices: driving yourself, taking a taxi or rideshare, or using Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) trains, trams, and buses. The distance between the two cities is roughly 14 miles (≈13.6 mi), and travel times range from about 12 minutes by car or taxi under normal traffic to around 32 minutes when using DART’s combined train‑and‑tram service. Costs also vary widely, from a modest fuel estimate of a few dollars for a personal vehicle to higher fares for a taxi. Below you’ll find a clear breakdown of each option, practical directions, and tips to help you choose the best fit for your schedule and budget.
Driving Directions: S to A
For travelers who prefer the flexibility of a personal vehicle, the quickest route typically follows I‑635 (Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway) eastbound from S, then merges onto I‑35E (Stemmons Freeway) northbound toward downtown Dallas, before taking the Harry Hines Boulevard exit directly to A. The total drive is about 13–14 miles and, in light traffic, takes roughly 12 minutes. During rush‑hour periods (7‑9 a.m. and 4‑6 p.m.), allow an extra 15‑20 minutes.
- Start: S – take Loop 12 (Walton Walker Blvd) east to I‑635 East.
- Continue: Follow I‑635 East for ~5 mi, then take the I‑35 North interchange.
- Merge onto I‑35E North for ~6 mi.
- Exit 426 onto Harry Hines Blvd (TX 356) north.
- Destination: Dallas A (approaching from the south side of the airport).
Parking at A is available in the Garage A, Garage B, and the Economy Lot. Short‑term rates are around $2 per 30 minutes, while daily maximums vary by lot. Remember that traffic on I‑35E can be heavier near the Victory Park area, especially during events at the American Airlines Center. The estimated fuel cost for this trip is roughly $1–$2 (based on average fuel consumption for a typical sedan).
Public Transit Options: DART Train, Tram, and Bus
- Start at Downtown S/Heritage Crossing Station (the western terminus of the DART Green Line). Board a westbound Green Line train toward Victory Station. The ride lasts about 14 minutes and operates roughly every hour.
- Transfer at Victory Station to the DART Tram (Light Rail) Green Line heading toward Burbank Station. This segment takes roughly 34 minutes.
- Exit at Burbank Station and walk a short distance to the Harry Hines @ Hines Pl – N – Fs bus stop.
- Board DART Bus Route 5 (Love Link) to the Inwood/A Station, where you can board the Green or Orange Line to complete the final connection to A. The bus ride is approximately 5 minutes and runs at least once per hour.

Tips for a Smooth Trip
- Check DART schedules: DART rail service runs roughly every hour. Using the DART website or the DART GoPass app can help you plan the exact departure time.
- Consider a DART 3‑Hour Pass: For $3, you gain unlimited rides on trains, trams, and buses within a three‑hour window, which is ideal for a one‑way trip.
- Avoid peak traffic if driving: The I‑635 and I‑35E corridors tend to be busiest between 7‑9 a.m. and 4‑6 p.m. Leaving early in the morning or after 9 a.m. can cut travel time dramatically.
- Know airport parking options: Short‑term parking is most convenient for drop‑offs, while the Economy Lot offers lower rates for longer stays. Shuttle service between the Economy Lot and terminals runs every 10 minutes.
- Use the Love Link Bus (Route 5): Even if you’re driving, you can park at the Inwood/A Station (connected to the DART Orange Line) and take the free Love Link to the terminals.
- Plan for luggage: DART trains and trams have designated areas for luggage near the doors. Taxis and rideshares provide more space for large bags.
- Stay updated on service changes: DART occasionally runs track work or temporary schedule adjustments. Checking the DART alerts page before departure can save you from unexpected delays.
