Dallas - Travel Deals

Texas is a big place. You can drive your car from one side to the other in about the same time as it would take to drive across a large swath of Europe. If you ever want to feel the rush of being alone, head on out to west Texas and drive at night. You’ll hardly see a soul and you’ll hardly hear anything other than the country music coming from your radio.

While it is big and it does have plenty of emptiness to it, Texas also does just fine in the big city department. Houston is a major city with a downtown hub and suburban sprawl to prove it. Dallas goes on forever. San Antonio has its Riverwalk and that Alamo place. Austin is the liberal enclave with the university and vibrant music scene. El Paso is a rough and tumble border town. You could travel to all of these cities and find it hard to believe that you are in the same country let alone the same state.

Priceline currently has an offer on discounted flights to Texas. Choose where you want to start and then experience the enormity of the state by renting a car of flying to another city. Or simply stay in one spot and enjoy all that makes the Lone Star state unique.

Anyone who has ever been to Dallas will tell you that it is exactly like the television show that goes by that name. Money is everywhere, all the people are gorgeous and the drama never stops, at least not until the hour is up and you have to wait for the exciting conclusion next week.

Ok, none of this is true, but Dallas is an interesting place to visit for business, pleasure or a little bit of both. The city has grown like crazy in recent years and has added a lot of worthwhile sights for travelers to see. Southwest Airlines is currently offering a promotion to take you to the heart of Texas for as little as $49 one-way. At prices that cheap, you might have money left over to buy an oil well or one of those pretty mansions J.R. Ewing used to have so much fun in.

Cheap Flights to Dallas

The Big D, Dallas Cowboys, cattle, black gold, and Neiman Marcus: Dallas started out as a prairie trading post and is now a tribute to commerce, particularly the financial, technology, and telecommunications industries.

Dallas is proud of, and some say downright stuffy about, its sophistication and its old wealth. For all that, Texans know how to laugh at themselves and how to have fun—especially in the Deep Ellum with its superb restaurants, galleries, shops, and clubs.

But it’s not all about the money. Visitors to Dallas are greeted with Texas hospitality and plenty of activities—museums, amusement parks, gardens, and historic sites. Dallas is also a sports town and is one of the few U.S. cities that supports teams in six professional sports, the best known being the Dallas Cowboys football team (five-time Super Bowl champions).
