Tyler to Lufkin Shuttle
Texas Shuttle connects the pine‑covered hills of East Texas with a direct, door‑to‑door ride between Tyler and Lufkin. The trip follows I‑20 west to the US‑69 interchange near Kilgore, then rolls north on US‑69 through the small communities of Whitehouse, Bullard, and Jacksonville before crossing the Angelina River into Lufkin. Total road distance runs a little over 80 miles, and typical drive time sits between 105 and 145 minutes depending on traffic around the Tyler Loop and the Lufkin downtown corridor.
Pick‑up points in Tyler include the historic downtown square, the Tyler Pounds Regional Airport (TYR) terminal, and any residential address in neighborhoods such as South Tyler, Azalea District, or the University of Texas at Tyler campus area. In Lufkin we serve the Angelina County Airport (LFK) terminal, the downtown business district near the Lufkin Convention Center, and residential zones like Crown Colony and the West Loop area. Because the route stays on major highways, there are no low‑clearance bridges or weight‑restricted roads that would delay a private shuttle.
Our drivers monitor real‑time traffic on I‑20 and US‑69, adjusting departure times when construction near the Kilgore interchange or seasonal flooding along the Angelina River slows travel. For passengers catching flights, we track incoming and outgoing schedules at both TYR and LFK and shift the pickup window accordingly — no need to call us when a flight is delayed.
How long does the ride usually take?
Expect 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 25 minutes door‑to‑door, with the exact time depending on rush‑hour congestion around Tyler’s Loop 323 and Lufkin’s US‑69 corridor.
Where can I be picked up in Tyler?
Any address in the city limits — hotels near the Tyler Rose Garden, the airport terminal, or a private residence in the Azalea District — works as a pickup location.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
We watch the flight status for both Tyler Pounds Regional Airport and Angelina County Airport and automatically move your shuttle later so you never wait on the curb.

DFW - Prearranged Limo is located at the lower level of each terminal. Please choose the closest one to your gate and let your driver know when they call or text you.
Your Texas Shuttle picks you up where it says Prearranged at the airport. If you are in a wheelchair, do not allow your attendant to leave you anywhere except Prearranged. The signs are easy to see, and they are always at the curb.
Security won't allow drivers to wait or walk more than 15 feet away from their vehicle, so good communication is essential. Turn on your cell phone and take it off airplane mode and silent, so your driver can call or text you. If you don't recognize the number, it's probably your driver.
