Amarillo Flight Guide

Amarillo is a city in the state of Texas which lies in the southern part of the United States. The landscape around the city is very flat and is often referred to as “The Texas Panhandle”. The city became famous through the song ‘Amarillo’ and has around 181,000 inhabitants today.

Popular attractions include the Panhandle Plains Museum, the Cadillac Ranch and the Palo Duro Canyon State Park, which is the second largest canyon in the U.S. Tourists come to Amarillo mainly for hiking and camping, which is an unforgettable experience. A trip to Dallas from here is also recommended to see the John F. Kennedy Memorial and the West End Historic District.

The weather in Amarillo is mild all year round and it never gets extremely hot or cold. Adventurous tourists should follow the tradition and choose camping over hotels. Visitors who prefer cosier accommodation have a large choice of hotels to choose from.
Flying to Amarillo from Australia is very difficult and passengers are advised to get information from a travel agency. Australians will usually fly via a larger US city and the trip can take up to 40 hours.
