Travel & Transportation
Recommended Airports
Quitman, TX is a rural location, so you’ll need to fly into a nearby airport and arrange for ground transportation. We recommend:
Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) – Approx. 2 hours from Quitman
Dallas Love Field (DAL) – Approx. 1 hour 45 minutes from Quitman
Tyler Pounds Regional Airport (TYR) – Approx. 40 minutes from Quitman
Getting to Quitman
Rental Cars: All major airports have rental car services. A car will be necessary as there are limited rideshare services in the Quitman area.
Driving Directions: Quitman is about 100 miles east of Dallas. The easiest route is via I-20 E to US-69 N.
Hotel Recommendations – Lindale, TX
Lindale, TX is 25 minutes from Thunder Laser USA in Quitman, making it the closest area with a variety of hotel options. We recommend:
- SpringHill Suites Lindale
- Hampton Inn Lindale/Tyler
- La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Lindale
- Comfort Suites Lindale – Tyler North
For additional options, Tyler, TX (about 45 minutes from Quitman) has more accommodations.
There is also a Best Western in Mineola which is closer to our venue (approx 10 minutes), but it’s not as nice as the hotels in Lindale.
We recommend booking your hotel at the time you register for the event – these hotels will sell out!
