About This Route
Arlington sits directly south of DFW Airport, about 13 miles via SH-360. Home to AT&T Stadium (Dallas Cowboys), Globe Life Field (Texas Rangers), and Six Flags Over Texas, Arlington is a major event destination with no public rail service. That makes rideshare the primary ground transportation option for airport arrivals. The relatively short distance keeps base fares modest, but event-driven demand can change that quickly.
Surge Pricing Alert
Dallas Cowboys home game days are the single biggest surge trigger in the DFW metroplex. On NFL Sundays and Monday Night Football, a ride from DFW to Arlington can more than double, reaching $100 or beyond. Texas Rangers playoff games and major Six Flags events (Fright Fest in October) also cause significant surges.
