July 22, 20232 yr Here are the parameters <6 hours away, total- drive time, flights plus layover, etc. Cooler and/or dryer than Austin summer Good food
July 22, 20232 yr Lubbock fits all of those, depending upon how stringent you are on #3. I wouldn't recommend it, however.
July 23, 20232 yr Delta and Alaska both have non-stops from Austin to Seattle (~4 hour flight so probably right at 6 hours total travel time with security and shit). Average August temps something like 77/57. It basically doesn't rain June-September. Good food scene, fresh seafood and deeper Asian food than you're going to get in Austin.

July 23, 20232 yr San Diego FTW. Non-stops from AUS to SAN are around 2:40 minutes on Alaska, LUV, and AA. Tons of good food in SAN.

July 23, 20232 yr sf area also checks out your boxes. on the co note though, check out the red rocks schedule.

July 23, 20232 yr I love ski towns in the summer, should be able to get to some around six hours with flight/drive combo if there's no direct flight. I'd 2nd the Seattle rec...you could go into Canada/Vancouver Toronto?
July 23, 20232 yr 6 hours? Given Austin's location, that's practically anywhere in North America if you're flying. If driving, the best you'll do is heading to the coast. Put me down for the hills/mountains of NC/northern Georgia. Cheap flights to Atlanta or Charlotte, ABNB a spot in the mountains, stay until Halloween.

July 24, 20232 yr On 7/22/2023 at 5:56 PM, jimmyjazz said: Chicago, depending on Canadian smoke. I was there June 30-July 4. The first two days it was a bit humid and hazy with the Canadian wild fire, but on Sunday there was a huge rain storm in the morning that blew all that shit away, and Sunday night and all day Monday were gorgeous. And haven't read that the smoke from Canada is as bad as it was earlier this summer. It's a quick direct flight from Austin to either O'Hare or Midway, and you'd eat great food and could see a game at Wrigley. Edited July 24, 20232 yr by South Austin
