Any veteran who served in the United States Military—including the Reserves and the National Guard—between the start of World War II (1941) and the conclusion of the Vietnam War (1975) is eligible for an Honor Flight trip.

Combat service is not required, nor is foreign deployment. Service during this period alone qualifies a veteran for consideration.

The only spouses permitted to travel on an Honor Flight are veterans themselves who have submitted a veteran application. At this time, we have more than a hundred veterans on our waiting list, with many more expected to apply this year, so we’re unable to accommodate non-veteran spouses.

We deeply appreciate your connection to your veteran. Unfortunately, we’re not able to include widows or widowers on our flights. With limited resources and many veterans on our waiting list, we must prioritize those who served. Thank you for understanding.

The trip is FREE for veterans. You do not need to bring any money, unless you intend to purchase souvenirs.
Guardians pay their expenses for the trip which is approximately $750.

Veterans are scheduled for an Honor Flight on a first-come, first-served basis. However, in keeping with the national Honor Flight Network guidelines, certain veterans receive priority consideration.

We are committed to ensuring that every eligible veteran has the opportunity to experience an Honor Flight.

YES! Such veterans go to the top of the list for the next flight.

HFDFW will see to it that wheelchairs are available for the veterans to use during the trip. However, you may bring your own. NOTE: No motorized scooters are allowed.

Yes, there are some stairs at certain locations. However, every site we visit is fully wheelchair accessible. Our buses are equipped with lifts, and our team is always ready to assist so every veteran can safely enjoy the trip.

Honor Flight DFW, a 501(c)(3) organization, is made possible through the generosity of individuals, families, organizations, and companies who recognize the tremendous sacrifices made by our veterans. Their support ensures that every veteran can experience an Honor Flight at no cost.

We have been especially blessed by organizations and companies that have stepped forward to fully fund entire Honor Flights, covering every aspect of the journey. Their extraordinary generosity allows our veterans to take part in this transformative experience at no cost.

In addition to private contributions, Honor Flight DFW participates annually in North Texas Giving Day and hosts an annual Golf Classic, both of which provide essential funding for our mission.

Every tax-deductible donation, large or small, directly supports our efforts to honor veterans with the trip they have earned and deeply deserve.
