Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport

Dfw airport - DFW

"DFW" redirects here. For the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, see Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex

Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (IATA Code: DFW) is one of the busiest airports in the United States. Equally positioned between Dallas and Fort Worth, DFW is a great airport to fly into. Don't forget that as you drive out of the airport, you will have to pay a toll to leave. DFW is the chief hub of American Airlines, which controls well over 80% of all the flights.

The airport was designed in the 1960s to allow for people to park next to their gate and make a short walk to their plane. However, modern security requirements and the hub-and-spoke system have made its long narrow semi-circular terminals somewhat inefficient. Recent improvements including a people-mover tram system (inside security) and renovated terminals have overcome this challenge to make DFW a great connecting airport. Also, the terminal layout with 4 semi-circular terminals and 1 squared one means that the airport has multiple security checkpoints and shorter lines.

The largest selection of restaurants and retail outlets are in Terminal D, while A, B, C, and E have a few decent restaurants spread throughout. An ongoing renovation of the older terminals will improve the selection. Part of A has been completed.

For DFW, there are courtesy phones that will let you ring them directly (for free), and they are usually pretty quick about pickups and drop offs. (at most adding an extra 30–40 minutes while you wait for them to pick up more people, or to drop your fellow passengers off on the way to your place or hotel). image:20110123 DFW terminal D - terminal D

Public transportation

If you're longer on time than money or just want to shun cars altogether, public transit is also an option.

The airport has direct rail links to both downtown Dallas and downtown Fort Worth from a pair of stations sandwiched between Terminal A and Terminal B. DART's Orange Line begins at Terminal A and runs to downtown Dallas, where you can transfer to any other DART line, while Trinity Metro's TEXRail begins at Terminal B and runs to downtown Fort Worth. To get to the DART station, take the airside Skylink people mover to Terminal A (a recording will play to tell you when you reach the right stop), then follow the signs out of the terminal and to the platform. To get to the TEXRail station, do the same but get off SkyLink at Terminal B instead.

DART trains arrive at DFW regularly from 4AM to 1AM daily, 7 days a week, and a replacement bus service runs from the same station when rail service is interrupted. Traveling by DART rail is covered more thoroughly in the main Dallas#Getting_around|Dallas eHalal Travel Guide.

Riding TEXRail is free until the end of January. After that, the maximum fare is $2.50.

It's also possible to take the older TRE (Trinity Railway Express)], the commuter train that links downtown Dallas and downtown Fort Worth, but this requires multiple bus shuttle rides. As you walk out of the arrivals hall at DFW, find a sign for the 'Remote South' shuttle, which will take you to the 'Remote South' parking lot, where you can either take another shuttle bus south to CentrePort/DFW Airport Station on the TRE line or to or DART bus route 408. The TRE does not run on Sundays and its schedule is relatively complex, so check a timetable in advance if you plan to use it.
