1Welcome to Irving, Texas

Arriving & Departing

It’s easy to get to Irving. We are centrally located between

Dallas and Fort Worth in North Texas, and in the center

of the U.S. By air, Irving is less than four hours from any

major metropolitan area in the continental U.S.

By Air

If you’re arriving by air, DFW International Airport (972-973-

8888, dfwairport.com) is probably on your itinerary. DFW

is one of the world’s busiest airports and serves all national

airlines. Ground transportation is available 24 hours a day, 365

days a year via SuperShuttle (817-329-2000, supershuttle.

com). If you rent a car, exit the airport via the south entrance

(Airport Frwy/SH-183), or north via SH-114. Rail access to

and from DFW Airport is also available from DART’s South

and West Irving Stations to the Centreport Station, where a

complimentary bus system provides access to each terminal.

The Metroplex’s other major airport is Dallas Love Field (214-

670-6073, dallas-lovefield.com), located at Cedar Springs

Rd and Mockingbird Ln in Dallas. Love Field handles more

than 100 intrastate and regional flights daily. Shuttle service is

available through SuperShuttle.

Houston). The city itself is bordered by four highways: I-635

major arteries within the city limits are O’Connor Road and

working ranch hand and a high-powered businessman could

dine together and both feel comfortable. Enjoy live music on The
