Just moved to San Antonio but realized not many direct flights from here to other destinations. What do you all do for flights? Are people just used to non direct flights or flying out of Houston?

We drive up to Austin many times for directs. But most flights out of SA have a layover in Dallas or Houston.

I have also driven to Austin to take flights, and they’re usually much cheaper.

Airport is being upgraded and in the works if you follow the news but it's probably a couple of years away. As others stated, it ain't too shabby.

Usually just chill though 1-2 layovers. I’ve been able to catch a good amount of direct flights to where I need to be though. Honestly it’s not too bad.

After living in DFW for a long time, this is one of my biggest problems with the SA airport. I have gotten used to just having a connecting flight if it doesn’t make sense to drive to Houston to fly from there. Luckily, you can fly direct to some cities like Denver and Atlanta.

Fly out of Austin!

Absolutely drive to Houston for international travel but I can get to most places I go directly from San Antonio ( Detroit, Atlanta, Phoenix, Vegas, LA).

I have honestly just gotten used to it. It was really frustrating when I first moved here because I hate layovers and think they are a giant time suck, but after years of doing it I just kind of got used to never getting a direct flight.

I drive to Austin or just accept the layover depending on where I'm going and how long the flight is

The thing is I didn't even notice this before I moved here and I wish I would've done my research. I would've moved to Austin instead

Why? Cost of living is way more expensive that it is here.

I actually find a lot of direct flights from San Antonio to the places I travel to most. Only international flights really have layovers

Never understood the adversion to flying out of SA. It’s not that bad, just do it.

We drive up to Austin. It’s tough to find anything direct
