Dallas Fort Worth International Airport - DFW

Dallas-Fort Worth, United States of America (US)

Getting around the airport

Five terminals along one road

Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport is located roughly halfway between the cities of Dallas (30km) and Fort Worth (40km), and is the world's third busiest airport, and is the largest hub for American Airlines.

It has five semi-circular terminals placed along a central road known as Spur 97. Terminals A, C, and E are on the east side of the airport while Terminals B and D are on the west:

  • Terminal A: American Airlines domestic flights only.
  • Terminal B: American Eagle flights only.
  • Terminal C: American Airlines domestic flights only. You'll find the Hyatt Regency DFW hotel here.
  • Terminal D: International flights. You'll find the Grand Hyatt DFW hotel here, and a good selection of business lounges.
  • Terminal E: Delta Airlines, and most other American and Canadian airlines. There is no walkway to other terminals from here, so you'll have to take the Skylink train.

There are a lot of renovation works going on right now, and a sixth terminal is planned.

Getting into Dallas and Fort Worth

Train is easiest and cheapest to Dallas

Travelling between terminals

Skylink shuttle train every 2 min

The airport is huge (it's actually larger than the island of Manhattan) so you'll need to take shuttles to get around:

After security: The free Skylink train (the world's largest airport high-speed rail system) runs every two minutes and takes nine minutes between the farthest terminals.
Before security: The Transport Link shuttle buses run every 10 minutes between terminals from 05:00-00:00. There are two green bus stops outside baggage claim in each terminal. Other shuttle buses will take you to the car rental centre.
