Nonstop service is operated by Southwest, Delta, and Frontier, with flights running throughout the day.", "methodology": "Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method.

The airport is about 5 miles south of downtown, so both options provide a quick, direct ride. Rental cars are available via a free shuttle to a consolidated center, and limousines offer a premium alternative.

Booking much earlier — 160 days ahead — can cost about $319, while last-minute bookings within a week rise above $300.
