Editorial snapshot
Flying to Austin rewards the planner who moves fast. Fares from major US hubs are competitive year-round, but SXSW (March) and ACL Fest (October) send prices into another stratosphere — book those windows 10 to 14 weeks out or pay dearly. The sweet spot is September or November: good weather, lower fares, and a city that's actually navigable. BNPL makes the most sense on peak-season bookings, where splitting a $300-plus fare into four payments is genuinely useful.
Score based on Laters booking data and editorial review, 2026
September and November are Austin's sweet spots: temperatures drop from brutal summer highs, crowds thin out between festival seasons, and fares typically sit 15 to 25 percent below the annual average. March (SXSW) and October (ACL Fest) are the price danger zones — book those months at least 10 weeks ahead or expect to pay a significant premium.

IATA: AUS · 13 km from Downtown Austin · 18 km from South Congress
Austin-Bergstrom (AUS) is a single-terminal airport that handles all commercial traffic, making navigation unusually straightforward for a city of Austin's size. Major carriers including Southwest, American, United, Delta, and Alaska operate here, with the Barbara Jordan Terminal offering a solid mix of local food vendors and live music performances at the gate. During SXSW and ACL weekends, security lines and rideshare pickup queues can stretch significantly — budget extra time.
| Transport | Cost (approx) | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) | USD 20-35 | 20-30 min to Downtown |
| Airport Flyer Bus (Route 100) | USD 1.25 | 40-50 min to Downtown Transit Center |
| Taxi | USD 35-50 | 20-35 min to Downtown |
