Your chauffeur monitors your flight and meets you at baggage claim inside the single-terminal building. If you prefer, the driver can pull to the lower-level commercial vehicle curb outside. Dallas Love Field sits seven miles northwest of downtown Dallas. The airport has one terminal with twenty gates. The Wright Amendment, which restricted long-haul flights, expired in 2014, so Love Field now handles nonstop coast-to-coast business traffic.

Love Field is convenient to Uptown, Downtown, and the Dallas Design District via I-35E, Mockingbird Lane, or Cedar Springs Road. Traffic gets heavy around the AAC before Mavericks or Stars games and during concerts at the American Airlines Center. The State Fair of Texas each October clogs nearby I-30 and Fair Park exits, so plan extra time if your meeting is east of downtown.

Sedan pricing from Love Field starts at $130 to downtown Dallas and $130 to Plano.

Rates are flat airport transfer fares for one to three passengers in a standard sedan. Taxes, airport fees, and tolls are included. Gratuity is added separately. SUVs and vans are available if you have more travelers or luggage.

Expect a 15- to 65-minute drive from Love Field depending on the destination and road congestion.

Neighborhood	Distance	Typical Drive Time	Sedan From
Downtown Dallas	8 miles	15-25 min	$130
Uptown Dallas	7 miles	15-25 min	$130
Plano / Legacy West	22 miles	30-45 min	$130
Frisco / The Star	28 miles	35-55 min	$130
Irving / Las Colinas	14 miles	20-35 min	$130
Arlington / AT&T Stadium	22 miles	30-45 min	$130
Fort Worth / Stockyards	40 miles	45-65 min	$160

Evening congestion on I-35E and construction on Mockingbird Lane or Lemmon Avenue can add ten to twenty minutes. Major events at the AAC, Dos Equis Pavilion, or Fair Park extend those windows.

Plan for curb delays because Love Field has limited commercial pickup space.

This is the honest limitation. Love Field’s curb is compact and airport staff move commercial vehicles quickly. Your chauffeur cannot stage at the curb for more than a few minutes. Call when you have your luggage so the car can approach. Dallas Airport Car Service arranges every Dallas ride through vetted local affiliates. Late-night inventory can be tight, and we cannot guarantee every vehicle class on zero notice.

One terminal, simple arrivals

Love Field has a single terminal with 20 gates, so arrivals are simpler than at DFW. Baggage claim and the ground transportation zone are on the lower level. Your chauffeur can meet you inside at baggage claim or wait for your call and pull up to the commercial curb. Because the curb is compact and vehicles are moved along quickly, call as soon as you have your bags.

Getting in and out of Love Field

The airport entrance is on Herb Kelleher Way off Mockingbird Lane, and the neighborhoods around it, from Bluffview and the Park Cities to Oak Lawn and Uptown, are minutes away. Downtown is typically 15 to 25 minutes via I-35E or Cedar Springs Road. Evening congestion on I-35E and work on Mockingbird Lane or Lemmon Avenue are the usual delays.

When Love Field beats DFW

For Downtown, Uptown, the Park Cities and the medical district along Harry Hines Boulevard, Love Field is usually the shorter drive. DFW is closer for Irving, Las Colinas, Southlake and Grapevine. Plano, Frisco and Addison sit in between, where the better choice often depends on the time of day. See the DFW page for the other side of the comparison.
