Why You Should Take a Flight to Texas
With its cattle ranches, oil fields and canyons, brash cities and small-town hospitality, the Lone Star State is the embodiment of America. Covering an area twice the size of Germany and stretching from the Gulf of Mexico to the north of Oklahoma, there is a lot of Texas to explore. It is home to NASA and The Alamo, modern art galleries, country music bars and spectacular scenery.
When to Book Flights to Texas
There is never a bad time to visit Texas and the best time to visit depends on where you are heading. Texan summers are warm, with temperatures above 30°C in many places. Winters are mild and dry but can be chilly. Spring and fall are the best times to explore the outdoors. Big events to look out for include the Texas State Fair in Dallas in early autumn, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo in March and the South by Southwest festival in Austin also in March.

How to Get to and Around Texas
All the main airports have good ground transport links into cities. Dallas, Houston and Austin have adequate public transport networks with bus and light rail systems.
Getting around Texas is relatively easy if you are travelling between big towns. There are flights from the major hubs to regional airports around the state, Greyhound buses link major population and there are some train services.
The best way to explore the wilds of Texas is by hire car. This gives you the freedom to step off the beaten track and is much more convenient than relying on public transport in towns and cities. Renting a car can also be cheaper than flying or taking the bus, but book ahead for the best rates.
What Are the Must-sees In Texas?
Now a museum, The Alamo is a must-see for visitors to San Antonio. It was here in 1836 that several hundred Texan revolutionaries died defending the garrison from the Mexican army, in an episode that has gone down in American folklore.
Get a taste of wild Texas at Big Bend National Park near the Mexican border. You can raft the Rio Grande, trek through forests and plains and marvel at the landscape and wildlife.
There are some great museums in the big cities. The Johnson Space Center in Houston is the home of NASA, and the visitor centre is fascinating. In Dallas visit the Sixth Floor Museum for all you ever wanted to know about the assassination of John F Kennedy.
