Main Terminal / Concourses at Dallas Fort Worth DFW Airport
DFW Airport has five passenger terminals - the Interantional Terminal D (TD) and Terminals TA, TB, TC & TE. Two one-way road lanes between Terminals A, C ,E and B & D lead north to Hwy 114, 121 & 635 and south (past South Airfield Drive) to Hwy 183 & 360. Each of the five terminals, together with their parking facility, form a half circle, with the parking area facing the one-way road in the center. Terminals A, C & E are to the east of the road, while Terminals B & D are to the west of the road. Terminals A & B face each other and are connected by a walkway to each other, as well as to the next set of terminals C & D (Terminal D has actually a square layout). Near Terminal C is Terminal E, which is not connected by walkway to other terminals, and its half-circle across from it only has a parking facility so far.
Getting around:
1. To get from one terminal to the other you have two options. (a) The free Skylink train runs inside the post-security area of each of the five terminals, starting at the International Terminal D at gates D, D20, D25 & D34, and connecting to the other terminals by two Skylink stations each (close to the left and right end). It takes about runs every 2 mins and takes 5 minutes of transfer time on average. Terminals A, B, C & E Skylink stations are between gates A13-16 & A29-3, B9-12 & B28-31, C8-12 & C27-32, and E8-11 & E31-32 .
(b) Alternatively, free 'Terminal Link' blue & green vans transfer passengers outside the baggage claim of each terminal, running every 10 minutes, 5am-midnight, thereafter call 972-574-5465.
2. International Arrivals: Unless you have gone through US customs clearance by participating airports in Canada and the Caribbean, you need to go through passport check, retrieve checked bags, go through customs clearance and - if transferring to another flight - re-check-in bag (the tag should indicate layover and final destination Airport Codes). The Skylink at post-security gets you to your connecting flight. However, you can also use the walkway between A, B, C & D gates - the E gates are not connected by walkway.
