Fort Worth Meacham International Airport is your closest option at just under 22 miles away, making it pretty convenient for flying in. Pack layers since January temperatures around here typically range from a high of 58°F down to 37°F, and there's a decent chance of rain that time of year, so waterproof gear is a smart call.
