Getting from Dallas to Allen?

Ok that earlier answer was about making travel arrangements. This costs you about $5 or $10 plus cab fare for a 7 mile trip.

You can use www.dart.org to get you up there. You will have to take a cab from the train station but you will only be less than 6 or 7 miles away. Type in your start point as DFW Airport and Terminal and your end point as the Parker Road Station. It will give total travel time plus what time you arrive at Parker Road Station to arrange a taxi transport. Maybe Allen events center can have a shuttle bus. Call them and ask them.

Take the Airport Shuttle to the Dart Drop off to the Orange Line Rail Station. Transfer to the RED Line and take it all the way north to the Parker Road Station. Get a pickup from there.

To find really good options, what have worked for me is:

1- Search in advance, to fly in 20 to 30 days from now

2- Take time to search and compare several sites. The more you search the better your chances are to find a good deal.

3- Avoid weekends. Most people likes to travel on weekends, that makes it more expensive those days.

The most important thing is to be patient, and be ready to go for it if you see a good deal :)
