Summer Market planning is officially underway—and if you’ve heard concerns about rising travel costs, you’re not wrong. Between increased fuel prices and the added attention of a FIFA World Cup summer, many travelers are wondering what that means for Dallas.
Here’s the good news: Dallas Market Center has already done the work.
Even in a high-demand summer, Dallas Market Center has secured thousands of hotel rooms at typical Market rates, along with strong airfare availability across major cities into one of two airports near the marketplace. The key difference this year? Booking early matters more than ever.
Yes, It’s a Busy Summer—But Dallas Is Well Positioned
The FIFA World Cup will bring global attention to North Texas—but matches are being held in Arlington, more than 20 miles from Dallas Market Center. And according to the latest data from major hotel groups, Dallas ranks lowest among host cities in “compression,” meaning there is still strong room availability across the area.
That’s exactly why Dallas Market Center has been able to secure:
- 16 official hotels
- 8,000+ room nights
- Market rates comparable to January
But availability at these rates isn’t open-ended—it depends on booking within the official block and booking early.
Great Rates Are Available—Right Now
Through Connections Housing, attendees have access to Market-rate hotel options, including:
- $285 – Hilton Anatole
- $256 – Renaissance Dallas
- $236 – Sheraton Suites
- $229 – Courtyard Dallas Market Center
These rates are only available through the official Dallas Market Center housing channel and include added benefits like:
- Earning hotel loyalty points when you book with Connections Housing, including Marriott Bonvoy, Hyatt, and others
- Expanded shuttle service to Market
- Dedicated travel support before and during your stay
A one-night, non-refundable deposit, applied to your stay, will secure your room—and lock in your rate.
Airfare Is Still Reasonable—But It Won’t Stay That Way
Flights into Dallas are currently tracking at solid rates* from major markets:
- Chicago: $250
- Miami: $220
- Las Vegas: $225
- Atlanta: $237
- NYC: $381
With two major airports just minutes from Dallas Market Center, you have flexibility and options—but like hotels, airfare is highly sensitive to timing. Every day you wait, prices are more likely to rise.

Put simply: Waiting costs you twice—higher hotel rates and higher airfare. Booking early doesn’t just save money—it gives you options. Better flights. Preferred hotels. And time to plan the rest of your trip, from dining reservations inside one of Dallas’ hot new spots to showrooms, meetings, and visiting The Temps.
Even during a World Cup summer, air and hotel are available at typical Market rates—when you book now. Secure your travel through Dallas Market Center’s official housing partner, Connections Housing, and travel with confidence. Because this year, the smartest move isn’t waiting—it’s booking.
Booking early through the official housing partner remains the best way to secure preferred rates and stay close to the action!
