First time to fly there next week, and wow, the airport is massive. Makes me nervous finding my way through, and trying to maneuver my way out of there once i get my rental.
Oh man. I have a 40 min layover in a couple of months..so right now I’m super anxious about how I’m gonna make it to my next flight and watching videos…It’s my first time flying by myself too..
This is about as slim as connections get these days, but the airline designs them to be doable. The people mover gets you from one side of the airport to the other in 10 minutes at the most, and it's usually a 5 minute walk at most from the gate you land and the Skylink station. You'll likely arrive at your gate during the boarding process.
I mean, the information is fantastic, but extra kudos to you for sharing all this information without unnecessary jargon and keeping things focused and relevant. You earned a subscriber!
i have a 45 minute layover flight here. which is pretty short, so this video really helped. especially you saying all terminals are connected besides E. i really appreciate it.
Glad it was helpful! E is connected, too, but only via the people mover. The people mover operates 24/7, but if it's down for maintenance/technical issues, you have to connect landside, which will take extra time.
DFW is on the northern county line of Dallas and Tarrant Counties, just halfway between both core cities of the Metroplex. I like how the airport was placed back in the '60s and '70s when it was constructed at that time.
Speaking of the DFW Int'l Airport, it's one of some modern world class airports built during the Cold War. Others are IAD, IAH, and internationally, CDG and NRT, just to name a few. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Outstanding video! Thank you. Question; I’m headed business class on Qantas from Baltimore. Would I be using the Admirals Club or other? Very helpful! I’ve been through Dfw years ago.
If I'm understanding you correctly, you're traveling to Australia via DFW, starting in Baltimore. If that's the case, then when stopping in Dallas, yes, you can use the Admirals Club on your Qantas Business ticket. The Admirals Club open to you is in Concourse D, next to gate D23!
For me as an av geek living in Berlin it is a must to see this huge airport. It's unbelivable to operate 7 ( ! ) active runways. I guess that 3 of them are for take off only. So they have 2 x 2 pairs for parallel operations.
It's a sight to behold, and really rewarding to experience parallel operations! The big one I think of for parallels here in the US is Detroit, so that's another good spot if that's your thing!
When they built terminal D. I was sitting in view of the escalater. This older woman was at the bottom of the stairs and screamed OH HELL NO. I laughed and walked to her and said. Ma'am There is an elevator over their. She gave me a hug.
I was here about 2 weeks ago and I can say that terminal c is the worst because of how hot it was. Terminal D however is the my favorite because it has a nice variety of food and shops but the sky link is just horrible it’s so hot in that thing and very rocky . It was fun being there but not for 13 hours 😐
It's really difficult to keep airports cool. Lots of people, they're built over hot tarmac, and there's no shade. Can't have the planes hitting trees! Airport authorities and engineers have to work extra hard to keep things cool, especially in a city as hot as Dallas. Sometimes it works better than others! Even my love for airports starts to wear down after a long layover. This particular tour of Dallas was after a marathon visit of my own; I think I was there for 10 hours this time.
One big airport to another big airport! If you're flying American Airlines, you can use Terminal A, B, or C, head inside, then check your luggage with an airline agent if you have any you can't carry with you. While you can do this with an agent, you can also use an automated kiosk. I'd recommend an agent for your first time :) After checking your bag, head to the TSA checkpoint beyond the check-in area. The TSA agent will need to see your ID and your boarding pass (or the QR code on your phone). Once they've verified your documents, you'll head to a line where you'll place everything you're carrying in plastic bins to be scanned by an x-ray machine to make sure nothing you're carrying is dangerous. This is pretty extensive, so you'll need to empty your pockets, take off your shoes, jewelry, and sometimes even your belt. I always chew gum when I fly, and it'll even pick up a gum wrapper in my pocket if I forget! Large electronics like tablets, game consoles, and laptops need to be taken out of the backpack, suitcase, or grocery bag you're carrying it in and put in its own bin to go through the machine. You can't carry large liquid containers through security, nothing over 3 oz (empty containers are fine). To earn extra brownie points, put any liquids you do have in a clear Ziploc bag and run them through the x-ray machine separately. Once you're clean, a TSA agent will have you walk through a special machine which scans your body for dangerous items. Just hold your hands above your head, elbows out to the side while it does its thing. The TSA agent may need to wave their magic wand (a handheld scanner) around your body if the scanner detected something unusual. If you have medical devices in your body, like a metal plate or a pacemaker, it's a good idea to tell the agent if you're selected for additional screening. This whole security process is pretty short, about 10 minutes plus waiting in line. Thankfully, DFW has.lots of small security checkpoints so long lines are less of an issue. Once you've cleared security, you'll exit into the airside part of DFW. You can now move freely between all of DFW's gates, restaurants, shops, and the people mover. For your first time flying, I'd say plan to arrive at the airport three hours before your flight. Once you're more comfortable, you can slim this down a bit. Your airline app will tell you what gate your flight is, and there are monitors throughout the airport, sorted by destination, that are good, too. When in doubt, use the monitors. Be at your gate 45 minutes before your flight; boarding usually starts 20-30 minutes before departure, and will be boarded in groups. Check your boarding pass to make sure you know which group you're in. I hope this helped! Check out some of my flight experience videos to see what it's like on board and in the air!
I’m only carrying a personal item and not a luggage, do I still go to a agent for them to check the bag or can I go ahead and get my boarding pass and id checked?
@@camillemorgan2393 if you only have a personal item, you don't need to go to a gate agent or kiosk, even, if you've already checked in for your flight. If you checked in online or via your airline's app, you can get a mobile copy of your boarding pass on your phone. If you do, you can go straight to the TSA checkpoint as soon as you arrive at the airport, no agent or kiosk needed!
I wonder how you would done listing American's 66 international destinations and 200 or so domestic? Also, Qantas starts service to Melbourne in Dec 2022
Awesome video bravo bravo 👏 👏👏 I’ve flew out of that airport twice when I was a kid. First time it was United too Chicago O’Hare and then American too Chicago Midway. At that time American Airlines still flew too Midway
@@MilesByFoot Yeah they only flew American nonstop too DWI at the time from midway. Our trip was Summer 2000. Heck I remember when midway had continental, ATA and northwest airlines before the mergers
Did I miss you mentioning these small carriers @ DFW? Southern Airways to three Arkansas cities and Boutique Air to Carlsbad NM? They both use the Corporate Aviation terminal north of Terminal A. I believe a shuttle service is provided to all the other terminals
I didn't visit the corporate aviation terminal so I decided not to cover those. I imagine most folks flying a small airline will do a bit more research than the average traveler (I made the same call with the JSX connections between HOU and DAL earlier in the trip.) In the future, though, I'll put something in my video description to help folks out using those airlines, if I don't mention it in the video!
I few Southern Airways from ELD to DFW back in December of 2021, had a 2 hour layover before heading on to ELP. Almost didn't make it due to delays going back through security. Fun flight at 10,000 feet (cell service still worked).
Terminal E satellite Terminal Re-opened in 2019, it 1st open in the 1980s when Delta had it's hub operation there, it closed in 2005, then Re-opened in 2019
That makes a lot of sense, actually. My research didn't tell me this, but it *feltI like it'd been there for a while, and wasn't purpose-built for American.
Im flying in from Toronto YYZ then conecting to durango Mexico DGO. both on AA amd i have a 52 minute layover. You've eased a lot of my anxiety by giving a concise and easy description of the Airport and how to get around it. Thank you. Subscribed amd liked!
@@MilesByFoot it was just about the easiest trip I've ever had aside from the waiting to get through US customs. But everything else was as smooth as can be. DFW is incredibly easy to get around. It took me 15 minutes to reach my gate
I worked in the B terminal back in the 70's when it was the Braniff terminal. It still looks pretty much the same today, minus all the people smoking back then.
You don't have to take the SkyLink; A and B are connected through an airside walkway that crosses the central road at DFW. However, it's almost certainly faster, especially if you're in low-numbered A gates (A20 or lower) or high-numbered B gates (B20 or higher). The higher your B gate, the farther you'll have to walk to get to A, and the lower your A gate, the farther you'll have to walk to get to B.
Delware (because no one flies into that state), New Hampshire, and Vermont would be my other 2 guesses because limited interest and traffic going to those states. I think they would be more served from the hub in PHL and DCA rather than DFW
Great guesses; New Hampshire and Delaware are right! There's actually two more states, as one has since dropped Dallas service since I last checked, that don't serve DFW besides those!
You'll be on American, so there's no telling which terminal, I'm afraid. Flying to Maui from DFW will be a pretty long flight, though, so it's likely to be a good size plane. It could be departing from terminal C or D. The last three days, the flight from DFW to OGG (Maui's airport code) has departed from D. Be prepared to transit terminals, but remember, you won't need to leave security so don't sweat it!
I love this airport, probably the best engineered airport of all. The way the separate each terminal but yet have each one connected still by the Skylink. It's just ingenious. This airport even though it's got a competitor in Dallas. This airport by far makes the process of getting through checking, TSA, and really smooth. Foot traffic in each terminal is little to none depending on which day. But even on busier days foot traffic still flows immaculately. Now once you get to the gates it can be bad traffic wise But overall, It's crazy how well things flow here at DFW International.
And they have lots of incredible lounges to visit if you have Priority pass and especially the best one, the Capital one Lounge my parents visited and enjoyed Great airport to connect or visit on
So that extension off of terminal E isn't new it was just closed. it used to be used by Delta, I flew out of there to Wichita one time in the middle of a hellacious storm.
@@jennifermora5265 was at ABQ many years ago, and it's quite a jump in size between the two. NM is awesome, though, always recommend it to folks looking for a trip to the American Southwest!
Where I grew up, we were taught that Mexico was both North and Central America, as Central America wasn't a continent, per se. However, I'll be calling Mexico North America in future videos, as that is indeed more accurate and more widely accepted.
You can't go past the TSA checkpoint without a boarding pass for an outbound flight. They can meet you right outside of the checkpoint or on the curb. Just make sure you know which terminal they're landing in!
i’m flying for the first time by myself from europe to dallas and i’ll have to check in my bags again and go through security. My layover is 2 1/2, do you think it’s enough?
Central America is a widely-used term for countries south of the U.S. down to Panama, of which Mexico is the largest. Mexico City is in *both* Central America and North America!
I have a question can you please answer this. I have a layover and connecting flight here. Do i still need to collect my check in baggage? I have different airlines Japan Airlines and American Airlines. And also do i still need to go in immigration?
@@MilesByFoot thank you - do you think 50 mins is enough time to land and get to a connecting gate? only have had connecting flights at Chicago and Phil.
The Skylink between terminals is wheelchair accessible and can be reached by elevator, and within the terminals, there are motorized courtesy vehicles that can take you around, like the one you see at 3:13. These can all be arranged through American, if that's who you're flying, either ahead of time (my recommendation) or from the check-in desks. If you're connecting here, you can also request them when you land from the gate agent, but allow quite a bit of extra time to transit when you do this (45-60 minutes extra, I'd say, especially during peak traffic times.) Check as much baggage as possible; I wouldn't bring more than a backpack or purse with you. The spaces between gates are huge, so I'd recommend courtesy vehicles for anyone with mobility concerns.
1st September I will fly from DFW to Narita Tokyo, but on my ticket paper. It is not written which terminal I should to go. Just say 'not available' What terminal do I have to go to. Can anyone help? 😀 I'm very nervous. Because this is my first time for me
It depends on what airline you're flying, but it appears that the only nonstop service to Narita is on American. If that's the case, you'll *very* likely be in Concourse D. It's not a certainty, but every flight to Narita from DFW in the last month departed from Concourse D. The aircraft used is a Boeing 787, which is large enough they can only fit it at certain gates, which makes it easier to be confident!
I am planing to go from Kansas city to Sri Lanka through American airline.I have two transits in between kansas city and (Colombo - Sri lanka).first is DFW and second is Frankfurt. So i am just wondering whether i will have a security checking like TSA again at DFW prior to have my next flight from DFW to Frankfurt. Could u plz gv an idea on that?
You will not have another TSA checkpoint in DFW. You will clear security in Kansas City, landing "airside" at DFW (meaning you won't clear security again). I had occasion to visit Sri Lanka back in 2014 and really enjoyed my time there, especially the food!
I looked for you in DFW but you must have been in "Love"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm wondering about the actual check in process. Do you still have to remove your shoes? Also I'm having a hard time figuring out where and how to park for a few days while I'm away. Would you make video about that process if allowed? Thank you
After hearing from several commenters like yourself, I think there'd be some value to a video like that; thanks for your input! Most passengers are still required to remove their shoes when going through the TSA screening process, with the exception of young children or seniors over 75. If you sign up with TSA's Precheck program, I believe you don't have to remove your shoes, as well. If you're speaking specifically about DFW's parking situation, I might recommend the airport's website, which will give information on parking, as well as off-site lots that may offer a lower cost parking solution, but include a bit more of a hassle, such as a shuttle.
Flown only out of terminal D and still amazes me with how huge, well maintained and efficient it is. Love field airport just doesn't compare it overall sucks
@@furrycircuitry2378I couldn't agree more. I'm a fan of huge airports except DFW is the perfect example because everything is connected post security.
Hi,is all the terminals in one building?I have a flight in June with American Airlines and only have 40 minutes between flights,and worried if I will have enough time
They're not in the same building, but if they're on the same airline and the flights go to similarly sized airports, they are likely close together. Even if your connecting flight is in another terminal, the airside train can get you to any terminal in just a few minutes.
@MilesByFoot OK thanks,I am just worried to death cause I am flying to Seattle to get on a cruise to Alaska but I have a layover in Dallas and I am nervous about missing my flight,which means I would miss the cruise
It is being renovated and the High C gates have opened. You can find a number of videos on TH-cam. th-cam.com/video/yw6hKwuG_lc/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/5dwFubZXuSA/w-d-xo.html
hi i had a question on parking where should i do long term parking as i’m going out of country for a week and my flight is from terminal D should i do a terminal garage parking? or the north end parking like which is better thank you
Generally, the farther you are from the terminal, the cheaper the parking. Terminal parking will be the most expensive, but most convenient option with the shortest walking distances to the terminal. Like many big airports, you can reserve a parking spot ahead of time on DFW's website, which can save you money and time. At DFW, all terminals are connected past security by a people mover, so where you park doesn't matter as much as it might at other airports. If you're not flying on American (you can check in at Terminals A - D for them), you can take a free landside shuttle to Terminal D to check in; just allow an extra 15-20 minutes if you use a parking garage. As of now, you can park in the Terminal D parking lot, which runs about $13/day if you pre-order online ($91/week), while you can park in the Terminal A parking garage's "saver" section for around $9/day ($64/week). You can also reserve remote lot parking, too, where you take a shuttle from the lot to the terminal, and they run between $5 - $9/day. When parking remotely, allow 20-30 minutes extra to get to the terminal. DFW also offers off-site, independent parking with shuttles, which can be even cheaper!
For those curious, the only states DFW does not serve are West Virginia, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island.
My first time flying. I will be arriving at Dallas airport. I am so nervous
😢me too, very nervous and my first time
First time to fly there next week, and wow, the airport is massive. Makes me nervous finding my way through, and trying to maneuver my way out of there once i get my rental.
Dallas is one of the most largest airports in the country by floor space, and you'll find that Dallas is pretty big, too!
DFW is humongous. But it’s very easy to navigate.😊
Oh man. I have a 40 min layover in a couple of months..so right now I’m super anxious about how I’m gonna make it to my next flight and watching videos…It’s my first time flying by myself too..

I hope they renovate terminal C soon.
Delware (because no one flies into that state), New Hampshire, and Vermont would be my other 2 guesses because limited interest and traffic going to those states. I think they would be more served from the hub in PHL and DCA rather than DFW
Great guesses; New Hampshire and Delaware are right! There's actually two more states, as one has since dropped Dallas service since I last checked, that don't serve DFW besides those!
@@MilesByFoot Rhode Island then, because why fly into Providence when Boston is 40-50 miles away?
There it is!

DFW is HUGE, but it's simple to get around which is nice.

Traveling from Tulsa to Maui via DFW. Which terminals will I likely use?
You'll be on American, so there's no telling which terminal, I'm afraid. Flying to Maui from DFW will be a pretty long flight, though, so it's likely to be a good size plane. It could be departing from terminal C or D. The last three days, the flight from DFW to OGG (Maui's airport code) has departed from D. Be prepared to transit terminals, but remember, you won't need to leave security so don't sweat it!
I love this airport, probably the best engineered airport of all.
The way the separate each terminal but yet have each one connected still by the Skylink. It's just ingenious.
This airport even though it's got a competitor in Dallas. This airport by far makes the process of getting through checking, TSA, and really smooth.
Foot traffic in each terminal is little to none depending on which day. But even on busier days foot traffic still flows immaculately. Now once you get to the gates it can be bad traffic wise
But overall, It's crazy how well things flow here at DFW International.
And they have lots of incredible lounges to visit if you have Priority pass and especially the best one, the Capital one Lounge my parents visited and enjoyed
Great airport to connect or visit on
It's an excellent design, and it's even made with expansion in mind! @robertolebron2296
DFW is full of well-positioned lounges for all types of travelers!
So that extension off of terminal E isn't new it was just closed. it used to be used by Delta, I flew out of there to Wichita one time in the middle of a hellacious storm.
My research found that, too, but I guess I didn't remember when I recorded it!
@@MilesByFoot No worries!
Maine , new Hampshire and Delaware
Nice work!!
Incorrect as Maine has seasonal service
My home airport
Me too
I flew into DWF for the first time alone & I was terrified! Lol
Nothing really prepares you for the scale!
@@MilesByFoot No absolutely not! I’m from NM and if you’ve been into our airport you can see why. Lol
@@jennifermora5265 was at ABQ many years ago, and it's quite a jump in size between the two. NM is awesome, though, always recommend it to folks looking for a trip to the American Southwest!
@@MilesByFoot Always come for the chile! Lol

I have a 1 hour and 17 minute layover in dfw, connecting flight with same airline. Should i have enough time to reach my gate?
Most certainly, as long as you're not too delayed. You could easily do it in half that!
Mexico is NORTH AMERICA.
Where I grew up, we were taught that Mexico was both North and Central America, as Central America wasn't a continent, per se. However, I'll be calling Mexico North America in future videos, as that is indeed more accurate and more widely accepted.
Retta Camp
do you need a license to get into dfw when picking someone up and going to their gate
You can't go past the TSA checkpoint without a boarding pass for an outbound flight. They can meet you right outside of the checkpoint or on the curb. Just make sure you know which terminal they're landing in!
i’m flying for the first time by myself from europe to dallas and i’ll have to check in my bags again and go through security. My layover is 2 1/2, do you think it’s enough?
Great video. Just FYI. Mexico city is in north America, not central America.
Central America is a widely-used term for countries south of the U.S. down to Panama, of which Mexico is the largest. Mexico City is in *both* Central America and North America!
@@MilesByFoot widely usage doesn't equate to correct usage. So still, It is incorrect. Central America starts at the southern border of Mexico.
I have a question can you please answer this.
I have a layover and connecting flight here. Do i still need to collect my check in baggage? I have different airlines Japan Airlines and American Airlines.
And also do i still need to go in immigration?
maine has seasonal service now on american
Nice!
Are you planning to visit CVG at any point?
It's high on my list, as it's quite close to home, and its history is pretty dynamic! Probably some time this year!
so if i arrive to one sections say A and i need to depart from C i have to go through security again? flying from GSO to RAP with 80 yr old parents
You do not need to go through security again; all of DFW is connected airside.
@@MilesByFoot thank you - do you think 50 mins is enough time to land and get to a connecting gate? only have had connecting flights at Chicago and Phil.
Any information for handicapped seniors to get around the airport and bring their luggage?
The Skylink between terminals is wheelchair accessible and can be reached by elevator, and within the terminals, there are motorized courtesy vehicles that can take you around, like the one you see at 3:13. These can all be arranged through American, if that's who you're flying, either ahead of time (my recommendation) or from the check-in desks. If you're connecting here, you can also request them when you land from the gate agent, but allow quite a bit of extra time to transit when you do this (45-60 minutes extra, I'd say, especially during peak traffic times.) Check as much baggage as possible; I wouldn't bring more than a backpack or purse with you. The spaces between gates are huge, so I'd recommend courtesy vehicles for anyone with mobility concerns.
@@MilesByFoot thanks for the detailed information it’s very helpful for my mom and anyone else needing these services. Yes taking AA.
I'll be there tomorrow from Bismarck nd connecting flight to memphis tennessee.. thanks

DFW will add another terminal soon.
1st September I will fly from DFW to Narita Tokyo, but on my ticket paper. It is not written which terminal I should to go. Just say 'not available' What terminal do I have to go to.
Can anyone help? 😀
I'm very nervous. Because this is my first time for me
It depends on what airline you're flying, but it appears that the only nonstop service to Narita is on American. If that's the case, you'll *very* likely be in Concourse D. It's not a certainty, but every flight to Narita from DFW in the last month departed from Concourse D. The aircraft used is a Boeing 787, which is large enough they can only fit it at certain gates, which makes it easier to be confident!
why no terminal E
I start to cover Terminal E at 04:10 :)
Alaska Delaware Wyoming probably
Delaware is one of them!
@@MilesByFoot yeah no commercial flight goes there
Really hope to see you go to LaGuardia eventually! Subscribed!
I'm very excited to see the new terminal there!

Nice!
I am planing to go from Kansas city to Sri Lanka through American airline.I have two transits in between kansas city and (Colombo - Sri lanka).first is DFW and second is Frankfurt. So i am just wondering whether i will have a security checking like TSA again at DFW prior to have my next flight from DFW to Frankfurt. Could u plz gv an idea on that?
You will not have another TSA checkpoint in DFW. You will clear security in Kansas City, landing "airside" at DFW (meaning you won't clear security again).
I had occasion to visit Sri Lanka back in 2014 and really enjoyed my time there, especially the food!
If I’m flying American Airlines from Houston to Tulsa with a layover in DFW, what terminal will I be in? (Assuming it’s a short flight)
It's hard to say; DFW is a hub for American, so it could be anywhere. If I had to guess, I'd say A or B. These are 100% American terminals.
I looked for you in DFW but you must have been in "Love"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😂
I'm wondering about the actual check in process. Do you still have to remove your shoes? Also I'm having a hard time figuring out where and how to park for a few days while I'm away. Would you make video about that process if allowed? Thank you
After hearing from several commenters like yourself, I think there'd be some value to a video like that; thanks for your input!
Most passengers are still required to remove their shoes when going through the TSA screening process, with the exception of young children or seniors over 75. If you sign up with TSA's Precheck program, I believe you don't have to remove your shoes, as well.
If you're speaking specifically about DFW's parking situation, I might recommend the airport's website, which will give information on parking, as well as off-site lots that may offer a lower cost parking solution, but include a bit more of a hassle, such as a shuttle.
Thanks mate
Orlando/Sanford airport next!
I'm biased as a Texan... but this is THE BEST airport!!! I've flown out of every terminal I think
Flown only out of terminal D and still amazes me with how huge, well maintained and efficient it is. Love field airport just doesn't compare it overall sucks
@@furrycircuitry2378I couldn't agree more. I'm a fan of huge airports except DFW is the perfect example because everything is connected post security.
Hi,is all the terminals in one building?I have a flight in June with American Airlines and only have 40 minutes between flights,and worried if I will have enough time
They're not in the same building, but if they're on the same airline and the flights go to similarly sized airports, they are likely close together. Even if your connecting flight is in another terminal, the airside train can get you to any terminal in just a few minutes.
@MilesByFoot OK thanks,I am just worried to death cause I am flying to Seattle to get on a cruise to Alaska but I have a layover in Dallas and I am nervous about missing my flight,which means I would miss the cruise
Terminal C needs to be renovated badly
It is being renovated and the High C gates have opened. You can find a number of videos on TH-cam. th-cam.com/video/yw6hKwuG_lc/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/5dwFubZXuSA/w-d-xo.html
It's really busy! I like the old look, but it still needs to be manageable for everyday travelers!
hi i had a question on parking
where should i do long term parking as i’m going out of country for a week and my flight is from terminal D
should i do a terminal garage parking?
or the north end parking like which is better thank you
Generally, the farther you are from the terminal, the cheaper the parking. Terminal parking will be the most expensive, but most convenient option with the shortest walking distances to the terminal.
Like many big airports, you can reserve a parking spot ahead of time on DFW's website, which can save you money and time. At DFW, all terminals are connected past security by a people mover, so where you park doesn't matter as much as it might at other airports. If you're not flying on American (you can check in at Terminals A - D for them), you can take a free landside shuttle to Terminal D to check in; just allow an extra 15-20 minutes if you use a parking garage.
As of now, you can park in the Terminal D parking lot, which runs about $13/day if you pre-order online ($91/week), while you can park in the Terminal A parking garage's "saver" section for around $9/day ($64/week). You can also reserve remote lot parking, too, where you take a shuttle from the lot to the terminal, and they run between $5 - $9/day. When parking remotely, allow 20-30 minutes extra to get to the terminal.
DFW also offers off-site, independent parking with shuttles, which can be even cheaper!
@@MilesByFoot thank you so much for taking your time out
Thank you for this video.
My pleasure!
Where do Hotel shuttles come upper level or lower level.
West Virginia Maine New Hampshire
Great guesses! 2 for 3!
@@MilesByFoot He forgot the state of Delaware.Because no airlines fly there.That one easy.
I think that DFW is one of the best designed airports. If you know how to get around, you can usually get to your connection faster by walking.
I agree. It all depends on where you're heading to next!
I remember when the terminals were call 1 and 2, east and west.
Before my memory, then!
