The former is the larger airport and the most ideal for international flights, considering it's the busiest airline hub in terms of daily flight deals to and from the airport.
  • If you prefer easier and more convenient access to the airport and to the amenities that an international airport offers, we recommend that you fly from Dallas Love Field Airport. It's the closest airport to the city center, about 6 miles away.
  • If you choose to fly from Dallas Fort Worth Airport (DFW), it would be best to book an American Airlines ticket. The airport is the flight operator's central hub with exclusive departure terminals (Terminal A and C). It also provides cargo handling and flight boarding convenience.
  • Dallas Fort-Worth Airport is an ideal flight hub for passengers traveling with pets. While Dallas Love Field airport requires passengers to clean after their pet, Dallas Airport (DFW) features animal relief areas in each terminal. However, your furry friend must be on a leash at all times.
