Grand Hyatt DFW to Fort Worth (and back)
Hi All,
Approximately how long does it taek to get from the Grand Hyatt DFW to Fort Worth?
My wife and I need to make the drive next week. Specifically, the location to which we are driving is in southwest Fort Worth, not far from Benbrook (or so it seems from the map). We need to be there at 8 am (Friday morning).
Coming back, we cannot leave earlier than 4 pm and have a 6:35 pm flight out of DFW (apparently, AA no longer has a later departure to LGA) and will need to return a rental car. How long will that drive take at what I assume is rush hour?
Thanks!

And you can do your own math on clearing security, though I must say I find DFW way faster then IAH, or maybe I've just been lucky.

The problem you will have is the time of day.
I would say about 40 minutes to downtown due to the construction on Hwy 121 the Airport Freeway. If you are going that way, pay very close attention to the lanes in the construction area. It is a little weird through there.
As you are going to the Benbrook area you could go south on 360 through Arlington to Interstate 20, west on I20. 360 can be a bit slow just south of the airport.
I think you could do the trip in 60 minutes regardless of the way you go. On occasion I go from just south of Burleson to just north of DFW. It takes me about an hour.

That's an idea. It was put in for that purpose, but I find the George Bush highly variable. It adds time as you have to travel east so far. Then sometimes you zip right down it, and other times its slow. When you pass 360 going west it always slows at least a little. YMMV
