What is the cheapest and most efficient way to travel from DFW Airport to Austin Texas?
I would like a cheap alternative to a roundtrip flight costing $150 to get from the airport to Austin. I have been searching for bus companies but this seems not to be working out. Any suggestions? Dallas - 7 Answers

Why don't you drive? it is not that far if you start driving in the early morning before rush hours (7-9 am) and you will enjoy the view and have a car when you are in Austin.
2 :
rental car. austin is only a few hours (3) south, straight down I35 from dfw
3 :
did you check Southwest Airlines? They've been advertising $49 each way ...

I would rent a car. Just aviod arriving Austin during rush hour traffic. The major bleed into Austin (I-35) is a nightmare. Also watch your speed in the small towns before Austin (ie..Georgetown). The traffic cops in this area are real bad. ps... right before you hit Austin limits there is a new Outlet Center that is worth checking out and an IKEA.

Rent a car, or drive your own

Well, if you can find 250 people wanting to go to Austin with you, you can charter a 250 seat airliner for less than $100 each... Outside that, some of the Discount Airlines can probably see you there for around or under that same $100 (discounting Airport Improvement Fees and Fuel Surcharges). Next cheapest would likely be the bus. But, as you indicated a preference for train in your other question...bus/ferry to Seattle and then Amtrack to Austin. Good Luck!

I lived in Austin and always used Strong Travel. They were easy to talk to and I always got good deals. They are located on Bee Caves Road. www.strongtravel.com If you are looking for cheap airfare and are under 30....try STA. They often have GREAT deals. There is an office on Guadalupe near the UT campus. Good luck and happy travels! -Kango Traveler

Yes, Accent Travel is the best. I worked for a county commissioner and he was traveling all the time and we used Accent Travel and they were prompt in bringing the tickets to the office and very reliable and friendly. Check out their website: www.accent-travel.com

About how long does it take to travel across austin

how long does it take to travel across austin?
Like... I know this is a hard question, and I suspect not to get many answers. But, how long would it take to get travel from the two farthest points in austin? or how many miles/time spent traveling is the longest path across austin? I'm planning on moving to the austin area, and was wondering if I had a job in the city, what would be the longest amount of time spent traveling to work or where ever I was headed into the city.

If you are talking strictly Austin (not Cedar Park, not Round Rock, not Kyle, etc.) then you can get to any part of the city in 20-25 minutes. If you plan on traveling during rush hours though (from 7-9am or 4-6pm), you better add on an additional 10-15 minutes.
2 :
It really depends on what direction (north/south versus east/west) and what time of day (rush hour or lunch versus mid day) you are traveling. You can get from Round Rock to S, Austin (north/south route ) at midday in about 20-25 minutes. Durng rush and going WITH traffic, this could be increased to an hour or more. There are fewer east/west thoroughfares even though it is a shorter distance, so travel times east/west can take significantly longer... 25-30 minutes non-rush hour or longer.
