Texans like to brag that their state is the biggest and best, and it does stand out — not because it’s bigger and better, but because it is one of the most diverse and interesting states in America. Tex-Mex started in Texas, the Johnson Space Centre and the Superdome call it home, and the Live Music Capital of the World is in Texas. There are oil derricks, cattle and cowboys. Southfork Ranch from the TV series Dallas is open to the public, as is the Alamo and some of the oldest Spanish missions in the country.
While looking out the window on a flight to Texas the first thing that really stands out is its wide-open ranges, but Texas is also urban. It’s a leader in ranching, agriculture, and high-technology; has world-class art collections and museums; and has three of the ten largest US cities. It’s a conservative state, yet one of its best known cities, Austin, is laid back, trendy, decidedly hippie-like. A true melting pot, Texas is proud of its Czech, German, Irish, and Hispanic communities.
Visitors who take flights to Texas will arrive to find a state with some of the friendliest and most helpful people living in it, whether you need directions or shelter from a storm.

Texas climate
The panhandle and central Texas are at the southern end of Tornado Alley. The tornado season is from early spring to late summer, but tornados are not uncommon in November. Texas springs are pleasant, even with thunderstorms, heavy rains, and flash flooding in the Hill Country. Texas summers are hot and humid with the exception of Dallas where it’s hot and dry. Autumn, throughout the state, tends to be pleasant. Winters in Dallas can get quite cold, even icy, with generally about seven cm (three inches) of snow. Houston winters are usually mild, with an occasional cold snap. Winter in San Antonio tends to be mild with perhaps a dusting of snow or an ice storm. Austin’s winters are typically mild.
When to fly to Texas
Peak Season:
The peak seasons are autumn and spring. Dallas hosts the Texas State Fair in September/October, and San Antonio’s Fiesta is in April. Austin is busy with visitors in the summer too, and the city can be quite full during legislative sessions and events at the University of Texas.
Off Season:
Except for San Antonio and Austin, visitors booking flights to Texas avoid the summers. On the plus side, nearly everything is air conditioned in Texas – and this may be the perfect time to find the cheapest flight.

Getting around Texas
Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin all have city centres that are manageable on foot, and all have good public transport systems. Many of Houston’s hotels also provide shuttles to common destinations, and Austin’s free Armadillo (‘Dillo) Express routes take you to tourist sights.
Driving is not recommended in these cities; traffic can be heavy and parking very hard to find or nonexistent. If you do drive in a city, pay sharp attention to where you are. San Antonio has a pattern of one-way streets that is confusing at best, and driving in Austin can be frustrating. Its street signs are hard to read and often obscured, and the streets branch into turn-only lanes with little, if any, advance warning.
Cabs are another option for getting around. You can find them at hotel taxi stands or you can call for one. As for highway driving, pay attention. Watch the signs and be prepared to make lane changes to make sure you don’t end up in an express lane headed somewhere you don’t want to go. Depending on the distance you’re covering, the number of airports in Texas makes flying an option and catching a cheap flight fairly easy.
