So, You Wanna Fly Into Arlington? Let's Talk Airports
Alright, so you're headed to Arlington, Texas. Home of the Cowboys, the Rangers, and apparently, a shocking lack of its own airport. Classic Texas, right? Big hair, bigger hats, and no place to land your private jet.
DFW: The Big Kahuna
Let's get this out of the way: the closest airport to Arlington is Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). Think of it as the Texas-sized shopping mall of airports. It's got everything – from overpriced sushi to those little shoe-shining machines that always seem to be out of order. It’s also about a 20-minute drive from Arlington, so it's not exactly a hop, skip, and a jump, but hey, it's the best we've got.
Love Field: The Underdog
Now, if you're feeling adventurous and want to avoid the DFW madness, there's always Dallas Love Field (DAL). It's smaller, which means less walking (unless you get lost in the maze of rental car returns, but that's a story for another time). It's also about a 30-minute drive to Arlington, so you'll be trading convenience for a slightly more scenic route.
Other Options? You're Kidding, Right?
Waco, Killeen? Are you planning on bringing a horse? Look, let's be real. DFW and Love Field are your best bets. Anything else is just plain silly.
Important Note: Arlington Municipal Airport exists, but it's mainly for small private planes. So unless you’re a pilot or a spy, it's probably not your cup of tea.
How to Get From the Airport to Arlington
Alright, so you've landed. Now what?
- How to get a taxi or rideshare: Easy peasy. Just grab your phone, open your favorite app, and let someone else do the driving.
- How to rent a car: Perfect if you plan on exploring beyond Arlington. Just remember to buckle up, y'all.
- How to take public transportation: Well, there’s not much to say here. Arlington doesn't have a public transportation system. So, unless you’re up for a marathon, you'll probably need to choose one of the above options.
So there you have it. Your guide to airports near Arlington. Remember, flying into Texas is always an adventure. Just make sure you pack your cowboy hat and a sense of humor.
