Flying from Austin-Bergstrom International

Austin-Bergstrom International sits about 5 miles southeast of downtown Austin on a former air force base. Southwest carries the most passengers, with American, Delta and United running large operations and British Airways, Lufthansa and KLM flying nonstop to Europe. The single Barbara Jordan Terminal is served by CapMetro Route 20 and the faster Route 100 Airport Flyer, reaching downtown in about 30 minutes for $1.25 — far below the roughly $30 rideshare fare.
