Dallas to San Antonio: every way to get there
Dallas to San Antonio is one of the busiest trips in Texas: state tournaments at the Alamodome, River Walk weekends, conventions and Spurs games. It's about 275 miles down I-35.
Your options
I-35 south through Waco and Austin. Leave before 6:30 am or after 7 pm to miss Austin traffic.
Southwest from Love Field and American from DFW fly many times a day. Worth it if you're tight on time.
Amtrak's Texas Eagle runs once a day via Austin. Scenic and cheap, but slow.
Greyhound and FlixBus run several times a day, often under $40.
For teams, schools and church groups of 15+, a charter bus is usually cheapest per person.
