i can't imagine it could possibly be more than 30 minutes, not including the time spent in the airport--be sure to get there at least an hour early.

It is about an hour flight. A little less. It is just an ordinary flight in a cramped airplane. But it is short. I fly to Asia where the flights are 14-16 hours long. One hour is nothing. It was a commercial flight: AA.

By the tone of your questions I take it you have never flown before. Flight time is about 1 hour. give or take. what was it like. crowded. seats are cramped. but I love flying. get a window seat if you can. not one over the wing that will block your view but one where you can see the wing and the ground as well. You won't get a meal on such a short flight but the attendants will probably serve a drink shortly after takeoff (Soda, OJ, Apple Juice etc...) work your jaw like you are chewing gum, or better yet get a piece of chewing gum for your flight. do this on takeoff and landings. working your jaw helps equalize pressure in your ears during the rapid changes in altitude. an Hour flight is very short. I recently had to make two roundtrip flights to SE Asia. Houston-Los Angeles-Taiwan-Cambodia and back. Houston-Detroit-Tokyo-Bangkok and back the cross pacific flight is around 17 to 22 hours Funny thing with jet travel and time zones. When I flew from Narita Airport in Tokyo, Japan back to the States, I flew 19 hours, and landed 2 and a half hours BEFORE I took off on the SAME DAY. With Divorced Parents living in different States (TX, MO) I grew up flying commercial every summer back and forth. I have flown out of San Antonio, Dallas, and Houston I have flown all over the US from TX, to MO, to FL, and CA during my time in the USN. I even got a round the world trip First half by Ship to the Persian Gulf then Second half by Air from the Gulf back to stateside hospital. I flew to and from Germany and the States as an Army Brat. I flew home from Japan when I got out of the Navy. and my two previously mentioned trips to Cambodia and Thailand to get my VISA for my wife.

i was stationed in san antonio at fort sam houston. the flight from san an to dallas is 45 min. it wasn't my first flight, my first was from NY where ive lived my whole life, to south carolina for boot camp, then i flew from s.c to atlanta to dallas to san antonio. Lackland air base is beautiful. hope you get to check out Camp Bullis. I had to camp there for 7 days with my platoon doing medical training. you will have a nice flight. it's no big deal.
