Roughly 124 miles via I-35 North. Door-to-door drive time is typically 2 hours 15 minutes to 2 hours 50 minutes depending on Temple pickup ZIP, traffic conditions through Waco and the Dallas metro, and time of day. Add 30-45 minutes during weekday Dallas rush hours (7-9 AM and 4-6 PM).

How early should I leave Temple before my Love Field flight?
We recommend leaving Temple 4 hours before a domestic flight departure out of Love Field (5 hours for international connections). That covers a 2.5-2.75 hour I-35 drive, Love Field's terminal drop, TSA screening, and 30-45 minutes of buffer for traffic. Drivers always arrive at your Temple pickup address 15 minutes before the scheduled time.

Does Texas Shuttle pick up anywhere in Temple?
Yes — full door-to-door from any Temple, TX address: private homes, apartments, hotels along S 31st Street, Baylor Scott & White Medical Center, Temple College, Mayborn Convention Center, the VA, anywhere in the city. We also serve Belton, Killeen, Harker Heights, Nolanville, and Troy. No park-and-ride lots, no meeting points — we come to your door.

Does the shuttle drop me right at the Love Field terminal?
Yes. Love Field (DAL) has one main terminal with Concourse A (Alaska, Delta, Southwest), Concourse B, and Southwest's main check-in area. We drop curbside at the departures level door closest to your airline. For arrivals we pick up at baggage claim once you text the driver you have your bags — no extra airport-pickup fee.

Is it cheaper to drive to DFW or Love Field from Temple?
Driving distance is similar — Temple to DFW is about 137 miles via I-35 then TX-114; Temple to Love Field (DAL) is about 124 miles via I-35. Love Field is often the better choice when Southwest Airlines has the cheapest fares (Southwest's main hub) or when you want to avoid DFW's larger terminals and longer TSA lines. If DFW serves your flight better, see our Temple to DFW shuttle service.

What happens if my Love Field flight is delayed?
For Love Field arrivals back to Temple, drivers monitor your flight number and automatically adjust pickup to your new arrival time — no rebooking, no extra charge. For outbound Temple-to-Love-Field departures, if YOU need to push the pickup time, call our 24/7 dispatch at (817) 403-6196 or text your driver directly — we'll reschedule based on driver availability.

How many bags can I bring on a Temple to Love Field shuttle?
A sedan handles 2 large checked bags plus 2 carry-ons for 1-2 passengers. A large SUV handles up to 6 large bags for 4-6 passengers. A shuttle handles 1 large bag per passenger plus carry-ons. Oversized items (golf clubs, mobility scooters, child car seats, surfboards) — note them at booking and we send the right vehicle.

Can I book an early-morning or overnight pickup from Temple?
Yes — we run 24/7. About 10% of our Temple-area to Dallas-airport trips depart between midnight and 5 AM for early-morning Love Field flights. Book at least the night before to lock in pre-dawn pickup; same-day bookings depend on driver availability and we recommend at least 4 hours' notice.

Is the Temple to Love Field shuttle shared or private?
Shared is the default — your party rides together, and on busy travel mornings the vehicle may pick up one additional Temple-area party heading to the same Dallas airport at a compatible time. Want guaranteed direct service with no other stops? Select the private/no-sharing add-on at booking. Most Temple-corridor customers choose private given the 2+ hour drive.

The Drive: I-35 from Temple to Dallas Love Field

It is about 125–135 miles from Temple to Dallas Love Field (DAL) depending on your exact pickup address — figure roughly 2 to 2½ hours in normal traffic. The route is straightforward: pick up I-35 in Temple or Belton, head north past Waco, West, and Hillsboro, then follow I-35E into Dallas. Exit at Mockingbird Lane and Love Field is right there on Herb Kelleher Way. We watch flight times and DFW-area traffic and adjust departure so you arrive on time even when I-35 backs up around downtown Dallas (typical weekday rush is 7–9 a.m. and 4–7 p.m.).

Common Temple-area pickup zones we cover door-to-door: downtown Temple, Belton, Harker Heights, Killeen, Salado, Troy, and Fort Cavazos. Killeen riders and Waco riders use the same I-35 corridor on dedicated route pages.

What to Expect at Dallas Love Field (DAL)

Love Field is the smaller of Dallas’s two airports, sitting about five miles northwest of downtown Dallas. It has a single terminal at 8008 Herb Kelleher Way and is dominated by Southwest Airlines, which runs nonstops from DAL to destinations across all 50 states. Curbside drop-off at Departures is fast — usually a 1–2 minute pull-up — and TSA wait times at Love Field are generally shorter than at DFW. For domestic Southwest flights we recommend arriving 90 minutes before departure; for early-morning departures (Southwest schedules a lot of 6:00–7:00 a.m. flights out of DAL), we recommend leaving Temple roughly 4 hours before takeoff to absorb any I-35 surprises.

Travel Tips for Temple-Area Riders

A few things that make the Temple-to-Love Field trip smoother:

  • Book the night before, not the morning of. Early-AM Southwest flights mean pre-dawn pickups; locking your driver in advance avoids the scramble.
  • Tell us your flight number. We track your flight, so on the return leg we time the pickup to your actual landing — not the scheduled time.
  • Pickup from Baylor Scott & White, Fort Cavazos, or a hotel? Use the full address in the booking tool so the driver pulls right up to the correct entrance — medical-center and base addresses have multiple gates.
  • Bag count matters. If your group has more than 4 people or more than 2 bags per person, mention it when you book so we send a shuttle or SUV instead of a sedan.
  • Return trips from DAL. When you land, head to the lower-level pickup area (Arrivals); your driver will meet you with a sign or text you a vehicle description.
  • 24/7. We run around the clock because Southwest does — a 5:15 a.m. departure from Love Field is a normal pickup for us, not an exception.
