DFW Terminal Connections | iFlyer Forum

They will actually go through customs in Ireland as both the international airports there have preclearance. They will arrive at a normal domestic gate (E if not on AA, one of the other terminals if on AA)

Yes, it should be. Take the SkyLink train between terminals (you do not have to go through security again).

If your first flight is on-time that should be enough time. If necessary, take the Skylink train between terminals. You don't have to go through security again when doing so.

You will not have to do anything with your baggage in DFW on the way to Frankfurt - you will just go through customs in Frankfurt. On the way back you will go through immigration in DFW and claim your baggage, go through customs, then re-check it with American.

Thank you!

Take the Skylink train. If your first flight is on-time you'll have enough time.

It will be very tough. Since you will be on the non-secure side of the terminal there's no easy or fast way to get between the terminals. If you could somehow do it without a checked bag you could just take the TerminaLink. However, I think it's very likely you'll miss your connection.

Sorry, meant SkyLink, not TerminaLink (all these airport trains sound the same)

But I will make the connection without a checked bag?

Yes, it would be much easier without a checked bag because you would be able to just take the Skylink train between your gates which would only take 15-20 minutes. You'd then have to get your boarding pass from the British Airways gate if you can't check in online.

I doubt that would be enough time as you'd likely have to change terminals too. Also, QF4551 is operated by American, not Delta. American has two later DFW-RDU flights so you could book the one you're suggesting with the knowledge that you can probably be rebooked on one of the later flights if you miss your connection.

1. As an international arrival in the U.S. at DFW, you need to go through passport check, retrieve checked bags, go through customs clearance and - if transferring to another flight - re-check-in bag. 2. Your arriving and departing flight numbers indicate that both flights are Qantas flights (Delta probably operating the next leg of your journey). Qantas uses Terminal D, Delta Terminal E (TD, TE) with corresponding gates (i.e., E18). If you need to transfer to TE after baggage re-check, go through security check and take the Skylink train running every 2 mins to your connecting flight. If your connecting flight is with Delta and you need to transfer to to Terminal, you won't have enough time. I suggest you open www.ifly.com/dfw, then click on 'Terminal Map' under QUICK LINKS and scroll down to the detailed text.

Yes, you will pick it up in immigration in DFW.

You arrive & depart from Terminal D of DFW. On arrival, you need to go through passport check, pick up your bags, go through customs clearance, re-check-in your bag (if AA transfer bags to Qantas), go through security check and proceed on to your connecting gate (Terminal D has gates D6-40). NOTE if AA does not transfer your bags, you need, after customs clearance, check in your bag with Qantas. Your time should suffice.

Going through immigration is fairly self-explanatory, you'll be funneled through to a bunch of desks, you show your passport to the deck, they look at it and let you though, then you claim your bag at a baggage claim, then you go past a customs desk and hand your customs form to the officer there. Then you drop your bags back with AA at re-check once you exit immigration. Then go upstairs and go through security again, and if necessary, take the skylink train to your gate.

Thanks very much, thats cleared my doubts

I'm arriving on American Airlines domestic from MSP and and transfering to Korean Air will I have to claim my bags for customs there. I will have about 2 hours for the transfer

It will be tough. Especially if your SFO flight isn't leaving from Terminal D. However, there will probably be a later flight to SFO if you miss your connection.

You will not have to claim your baggage in Dallas - you only have to go to the gate for your flight to Cancun.

You do not need to go through customs after a domestic flight, you just have to get from your first flight to your second flight. If your flights are not in the same terminal take Skylink between the terminals.

Many Thanks,do you think 1 hour is enough time?

If your first flight is on-time, then yes, 1 hour is sufficient

Many Thanks for you help

If your first flight is on-time, yes, it's enough. All terminals at DFW are conveniently connected via the TerminaLink train.

thanks.

At DFW, the free Skylink train runs inside the post-security area of each of the five terminals, starting at the International Terminal D at gates D2, D20, D25 & D34, and connecting to the other terminals by two Skylink stations each (close to the left and right end). It runs every 2 mins and takes about 5 minutes of transfer time on average. At TA it stops between A13-16 & A29-34.

Take the Skylink train, it should take no more than 15-20 minutes to get between your gates.
