You've Landed in DFW, But Where's the Fort Worth Part? A Guide to Getting from Dallas Airport to Fort Worth (Without Getting Yeehawed in the Wrong Place)
So you've touched down in the sprawling Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW for short, because apparently everything in Texas needs a nickname). Congratulations! You're practically a Texan yourself... almost. But hold on to your Stetsons, pardner, because DFW serves both Dallas and Fort Worth, two cities with distinct personalities (think sleek skyscrapers vs. charming brick streets).
The Great DFW Divide: Dallas or Fort Worth?
Fear not, weary traveler! This here guide will lasso you the perfect way to get from DFW to Fort Worth, whether you're craving world-class museums or a taste of the Wild West.
Giddy-Up on the Public Transportation Pony
QuickTip: Save your favorite part of this post.
- DARTing Around: The Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) offers a train straight to Dallas, but fret not, Fort Worth has its own champion - the TEXRail. It's a breeze to catch from the airport and will have you saying "yeehaw" (or at least "thanks, public transport gods") in under an hour.
- Train Like a Texan: For a touch of class (and a connection to both Dallas and Fort Worth), the Trinity Railway Express (TRE) is your huckleberry. It's a bit pricier than the TEXRail, but hey, sometimes you gotta splurge for that scenic route, right?

Hit the Gas, Cowboy (or Cowgirl)
- Rental Roundup: If you crave the open road (and air-conditioning, because let's be real, Texas summers are no joke), renting a car is always an option. Just remember, everything's bigger in Texas, including those highway signs - so buckle up and keep your eyes peeled for the Fort Worth exit.
- Taxi Time: In a pinch, cabs are available at the airport, but be prepared for a bit of a sticker shock. Unless you're bankrolling the whole trip, this might be best for a small group or solo travelers with expense accounts.
