Dallas Love Field DAL Airport Overview

Dallas Love Field DAL serves the City of Dallas, Texas, with mostly domestic flights (Dallas/Fort Worth DWF Airport is its primary airport). It is for many an affordable and convenient alternative, as evidenced by its growing passenger count.

The Airport is located within Dallas city limits on 8008 Cedar Springs Road - 7 miles NW of the downtown business district of Dallas. It is primarily served by Southwest Airlines, which was founded and is headquartered there. Direct flight destinations are governed by the Wright and Shelby amendments passed by Congress, to protect the Dallas/Fort Worth DFW airport traffic, and include Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Mississippi, Alabama and Kansas.

With an estimated 8.2 million passengers in 2012, Dallas Love Field is presently served by United, Delta & Southwest, offering direct and connecting flights to all points of the globe.

NOTICE: As the Airport is in the midst of its modernization program and passengers will experience many changes until its completion, it is essential that passengers arrive at least 90 minutes prior to scheduled flights and pay attention to the current airport developments:

The passenger terminal complex at Dallas Love Field is presently undergoing the 'Love Field Modernization Program'  (started in 2010 and to be completed by 2014 - see details below). During this time it will have two terminals - T1 & T2 - by 2014 they should be merged into one terminal serving all airlines. (For terminal information please refer to 'Terminal Map' page)

Parking options at Dallas Love Field include parking garages A & B.  (For detailed parking information, click on 'Airport Parking'.)

Present and future Airport developments:  1. Under the Love Field Modernization Program (LFMP) and in order to become more efficient, the passenger terminal is to shrink down to a quarter of its former size, by replacing unused &  outdated space with modern facilities.  After demolishing the former three concourses, there is now only one centrally located new concourse.  Main Lobby renovations will not alter its original design. 
Work completed: the lobby was renovated, baggage claim area expanded, a new ticketing wing added and a centralized concourse with 20 gates established. Furthermore, concessions will more than double in the upcoming months. For construction updates visit loveevolution.info  and click on LFMP icon.
2. It is anticipated that by 2014 there will be one consolidated passenger terminal, affording easy connections from arrivals to departures gates.
