Airports in the area:

Dallas Fort Worth Airport (Recommended)
Airport Code: DFW
124 miles ~2 hrs 16 minutes

Dallas Love Field
Airport Code: DAL
112 miles ~2 hrs 18 minutes

The Dahl’s recommend DFW because it’s bigger and cleaner. Sometimes Southwest Airlines has cheaper prices on flights but they only fly into Love Field.

Don’t forget to use Google Flights to track prices. I wrote a post in 2023 for our Idaho reunion explaining how it works.
