When to go
The best time of the year to find cheap flights to Dallas is between September and November, when the tourist crowds have calmed down, it isn’t swelteringly hot, and the State Fair of Texas with its live bands and car show is in full swing.
The summer months, between June and August, are high season for flights to Dallas, which means rodeos, baseball games and festivals. The mercury can soar to 45 degrees Celsius and high humidity makes it feel even hotter.
Rain tends to fall hardest in September and October, while the coldest month is January, with average temperatures of six degrees Celsius. And if you’re planning flights to Dallas between March and May, bear in mind that the Dallas Cowboys Games can push up the price for direct flights to Dallas and hotels in the city centre.

Getting to the city from the airports
Both Dallas airports have a number of transport options to reach the city. These include car rental, private car service and taxis, as well as the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) rail service. The DART is an easy and cheap way to get around Dallas car-free, and information is available at the airports to get you to your final destination.
