Dallas: the home of countless museums, that really big football stadium, and (so we hear) some pretty great BBQ.

While Charleston International Airport (CHS) serves two direct flights to Dallas, the connections mean more than just a long weekend trip to the Lonestar State.

For American Air, flights from CHS to DFW are frequent (they’re currently offering 3/day) and they open up the doors to more affordable, quicker connections to the West Coast. Just five years ago, options were much more limited.

Here’s how you can get there:

American Airlines

Dallas/Fort Worth — Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW)

Southwest Airlines

Dallas — Dallas Love Field (DAL) | Seasonal, Saturday + Sunday only; Daily flights return March 2020
