An on-site 24-hour Rental Car Center houses eleven companies with frequent shuttles, and rideshare/taxi service is readily available curbside. The DART Orange Line is the most-used and most direct public transit option for reaching downtown Dallas, though rental cars are extremely popular for exploring the wider metro area.

The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time, given both per carrier and across all carriers on the route; where a schedule does not publish an elapsed time, it is derived from the scheduled departure and arrival times converted to UTC.
