- DFW Airport Overview
Dallas Fort Worth International Airport DFW is located 18 miles from downtown Dallas and 24 miles from downtown Fort Worth, both situated in the State of Texas. It is accessible from Hwys 183 & 360 and Hwys 114, 121 & 635. The Airport covers an area of nearly 30 square miles, is a large hub to American Arilines, and hosts to a multitude of major domestic and foreign airlines serving the Airport with direct and connecting flights to all points of the globe. In terms of world ranking, it ranks third in operations and seventh in passengers. 57 million passengers use this Airport annually. DFW Airport has seven runways handling over 650,000 take-offs and landings a year. On-Airport hotels are the Grand Hyatt DFW located inside the International Terminal D (972-973-1234) and the Hyatt Regency DFT adjacent to Terminal C (972-453-1234).
The International Terminal--Terminal D, was completed in 2006, bringing the total number of passenger terminals to five. As Terminals A, B, C and E are conveniently linked together, there is a short distance from curb to plane. However, due to the long concourses and the distance between the terminals, the 'Skylink'--the world’s largest high-speed airport train--links the existing terminals to the new international airport terminal. The Art Work exhibited in the passenger terminals, and services offered therein, demonstrate true Texan spirit. The Terminals offer the following amenities: Restaurants/bars/lounges and shops/dutyfree shops; 8 airline & VIP Clubs, banking & ATMs,; currency exchange; a guest service center with a fax machine; FedEx & US Mail drop boxes and stamp machine; power point laptop rental; dhilren's play area; InMotion Entertainment; free internet access throughout all terminals; barber shop/salon; interfaith chapel, luggage carts, manicure; prepaid phone cards; Samsung Mobile Travel Center; TDD phones, Western Union (Travelers Aid); Pepsi Jr. Flyers Club; massage chairs & therapists; checkpoint mailers; and Travelers' Aid.
Parking options are as follows: Garage Parking is located next to all five pasenger terminals with available TollTag (an automated entry and exit) and free Terminal Link van service between terminals. Express Parking with pickup/dropoff at your car via shuttle service is located both at the North and South end of the Airport, with available TollTag. Remote Parking with continuous shuttle service is also located both at the North and South end of the Airport. The Rental Car Center is located inside Airport premises at 2424 E. 38th St, near the south entrance of the Airport, and is served by ten rental car agencies. Arriving passengers should first collect their baggage and then follow the Rental Car signs to the shuttle pickup area on the lower terminal level. Shuttles come around every five minutes and the trip takes about 10 minues. To get to either of the two Cities, you can rent a car, take a taxi or limo, or take one of these shared rides--City Shuttle (214-760-1998); Go Yellow Checker Shuttle (214-841-1900) or SuperShuttle DFW (972-456-3128); you can also take the pulic bus: DART (214-979-111) provides bus service to downtown Dallas, while the Airporter offers scheduled van shuttles to downtown Fort Worth. DART also serves Addison, Carrollton, Cockrell Hill, Dallas, Farmers Branch, Garland, Glenn Heights, Highland Park, Irving, Richardson, Rowlett, Plano & University Park.
In its constant endeavor to serve the passengers, DFW Airport now has a new COBUS Airport people mover, able to transport up to 112 passengers and designed to off-load passengers during any type of delay situation. DFW Airport also offers now a Global Entry kiosk for their international passengers allowing for speedier customs processing.
