    Airport eats
    Diele K.

    When flying to JAX, there's not really any direct flights after American Airlines stopped theirs. I had done a layover in DFW, and said NEVER AGAIN! So when flying for work again, I decided to check out Dallas Love Field for a smaller airport and hopefully less hectic. Sadly, in June 2026, there were REALLY BUSY (video included). Though, overall it was leaps and bounds better than DFW. Definitely consider this airport as one of the better I've traveled to in the country.

    One of the greater airports that I have traveled. The Southwest Gates are in a very updated and clean terminal area. There are several Hudson stores, several Starbucks, several Dunkin Donuts, and several Baskin Robbins locations near the gates 13-20. When you walk towards the lower numbered gates, there is a whole food area and semi-mall with clothing, sunglasses, convenience, etc. shops. I spotted a Chili's, a Southwest AV8 Bar, Dickie's BBQ, Dunkin Donuts, Baskin Robbin's, Starbucks, and several other well known places. Restrooms were clean and not disheveled. There are also many flight status boards so that you can stay in the loop about where your flight stands. Very good amount of charging stations as well Overall, great airport.

    Come here often for business trip. The has ridiculously weird check point set up where it's overly crowded during peak times. Most of the terminal are kinda old and the facilities needs updates. Recommend just stay in the international terminal- better amenities especially the best lounges are there. The skylink train stops after 10 pm for one line it was so frigging hot and crowded and the way the terminal set up makes no sense.

    This airport mainly has Southwest and Delta. No commercial lounges though. But good options for food, snacks, etc. Close to Dallas and small enough to easily navigate.

    Organized TSA, Rental shuttle, easy to read signs and plenty of restaurants. Had a seamless experience getting through TSA to my gate. Airport was clean, staff friendly. Not all airports are easy to navigate but theu made it easy with plenty of signs.

    I got to use this airport the other day and even though TSA challenges were causing problems all over the country, it did not seem to impact this airport. The line was short, and it went fast. The airport itself was ok, it looked like it needed an update, or a deep cleaning. It was grey and dingy. The gates had various food options, bars, and some stores to by snacks and souvenirs. They did have 1 interesting art piece in the ceiling. The people that worked there were charming and cordial. I added 2 photos for you to enjoy.

    Nice airport, it's not too big. Much easier to go in and out of than DFW (especially with the current construction in terminal c, March 2026). I've flown Southwest flights from DAL and never had issues. Nice airport with several good food and shopping options and getting thru security takes 10-20 mins, depending on how busy it is. Parking garage is right outside of the main terminal, and if you're picking someone up, they have wait lots where you can sit until they say they're at the curb.

    Access thru terminal- Just before TSA pre security. Always empty. Great place to stretch, make a call, or unwind before the flight.

    Still rocking and rolling. Always busy but always easy to get in. Wish they had a lounge option on Priority Pass, but I dig the vibe. Families, note that Zen garden right before TSA security. Photo attached.

    LET'S START WITH THIS.... TSA is so much different than Chicago Ohare. What a relief! The airport is nice. A lot of spots to stop for drinks, food and merchandise. The staff is nice and also helpful. Easy to get through. There was a Starbucks located right at our gate and that was nice for the kids.

    Dallas!

    Wonderful airport (how often does anyone say that!) How to connecting flight from San Antonio to Tampa and was very pleased with this airport. Good shopping and good food with a relaxed atmosphere. That is very unlike the hustle and bustle of some other larger airports. Will try and connect here going forward!

    Candace D.

    BUSY BUSY AIRPORT! I almost didn't make it to my connecting flight thank goodness 2 groups after me were still boarding..Thank you Southwest for seat assignments..and overhead bin for the win!

    This is your typical airport. It's not as large as some of the others, but you'll find what you want/need while on a layover. I was passing through on the trip home to see Mom. And of course, since it's a Dallas airport, I found some Dallas Cowboy's gear for my brother and Dad. It's easy to navigate, find your gate, and be on your way. The restrooms were clean.

    I've travelled in and out of Dallas Love Field countless times whenever I take a Southwest flight to the DFW area. The airport is clean, has lots of restrooms and is easy to navigate. There's even a Chick-fil-A that is always closed because somehow I exclusively fly in or out on Sundays it seems. The one drawback as a Celiac is that I try to eat before I fly out of here because safe options are difficult to find here. There are plenty of shops and security is easy to get through. Latest visit: November 2025

    They call it Big D for a reason.

    Is it ok.....................?

    To bring personal blenders (not Ninja) where you can remove the blades, wrap them properly as it says on the TSA website and carry them separate ?????????? F .... NO 😡

    What is the best hotel to leave your car at for a week? (Hopefully one with an early shuttle service) Thanks

    If you pay for park and ride you can leave your car at hotels. It's usually much cheaper than the car lots at the airports.

    What would you describe this airport? What time would you arrive at a gate if departed the 17th of next month at 1:40pm?

    Smaller airport, easy to navigate with primarily only Southwest Airlines' flights

    I think I have read there are no lounges at this airport, is there anywhere quiet I can sit and talk on the phone?

    We have been to Dallas Love field many times and I feel that you can find a place to make a phone call

    If I'm picking someone up will I be able to go into the airport and wait for them at their gate ? or will I not be let in after a certain point?

    Only ticket passengers are allowed to go in.

    What time do the souvenir shops open? I have a 7:40 flight and I really want to get a cowboy hat before I fly back to Boston.

    You should but I had someplace before you leave for the airport. That's sad I'm not sure what time the shops open but my guess is most of them will be

    How long does it take to exit the airportonce off the plane? Plane arrives at 11pm but car rental.closes at 11:30, can I make it in time?

    Even with checked bags you'd likely make it. The airport is compact and WN is quick to get luggage off and to baggage claim.

    Does anyone remember when Dallas Love Field was spelled "LLove"?

    No lol

    Recently visited Dallas and went through the Fort Worth International Airport.. super awesome…read moreairport.. looked very neat, clean and huge.. security clearance and other things were really quick.. lots of restaurants and shops on the way to the terminal.. Rental car facility is slightly far, but there were buses to the facility.. takes about 10 minutes from the airport.. in hot summer it's really difficult to stand outside for the bus to go to the rental.. when I visited it was about 100F and had to stand out for 10'mins not knowing when the bus will arrive . Baggage carousel is good and just outside the exit . Good experience overall . The only issue with this airport is we had to pay a charge to get into the airport, even if we had to just drop somebody on the departure.. although it's not too expensive I wish they just made it free.. costed bout 3$ but had to pay every time if we are going inside the airport.. never saw that with any airports in New York New Jersey area..

There are plenty of shops and restaurants available, which makes it easy to pass the time while waiting for your flight. One thing to note is that there is limited seating available at some boarding gates. Because of this, many passengers line up near the gate area, which can make the walkways and surrounding areas feel very congested when trying to move between gates. Overall, it was a convenient airport to navigate, with plenty of options for dining and shopping.

They are currently in the process of fixing the issue. Our flight was expected to leave at 10:40. We got stuck on the plane in the heat for 30 minutes. Now we are waiting for the issue to be fixed in order to embark once again. Tentatively the airline stated that we should be boarding now but we still are awaiting. The staff on our flight were all nice and accommodating. They were also very hot and obviously have nothing to do with the issue. Hopefully this problem is fixed as soon as possible. We have a wedding to get to so hopefully everything isn't delayed any further. On July 1st our flight got delayed an entire 24 hours. We were issued a $12 food voucher and a hotel voucher that was actually a motel with a foul odor. The shower was disgusting as well. We ended up booking a different hotel out of pocket. We were told that our flight was re-scheduled for 11:15 am for July 2nd and that there shouldn't be any more issues. We were also told on July 1st that we can go down to baggage claim if we wanted our luggage and that it would be available in 30 minutes to an hour. Once we got downstairs they said our luggage was not available for another 30 minutes to 5 hours. The staff at American Airlines baggage claim were extremely rude and dismissive. We never ended up getting our luggage because they did not have an actual estimate of how long it would take. Day 2 of our flight being delayed. We arrived at the airport and it seemed like things were looking up. We get to the gate and are awaiting for everyone to be able to board. As we're waiting we're told once again today that our flight will be delayed 45 minutes now because the plane is having the same issues with the a/c not functioning. They also stated that it was a different plane, how can a totally different plane have the same issue occurring. It does not make any sense. Now the airline is saying that the plane is out of service. They stated that the plane is coming from the hangar and it will take 30 minutes. Out of no where they say that we have to go from Gate D33 to Gate D65. Now they are saying that we have to wait 6 hours for our new flight with a new plane. So instead of our 24 hour delayed flight leaving at 11:15 am, we are now scheduled to leave at 6:00 pm according to the updates we have received. I am extremely disappointed and do not ever want to fly with American Airlines again. We are flying to China for a wedding and have had to cancel multiple reservations that were made in advance and it's also looking like we are not going to make the wedding. This is absurd and has affected all of us traveling emotionally and physically.

Personally, I hadn't flown with them in a while and went with a competitor. This flight did remind me why I enjoy the airline - the friendly staff!

    I used to be a SOuthwest fan, to be honest. My experiences had always been good. No complaints…read more That is, until three years ago when I paid for my mother and I to take different flights from our respective cities to meet up in Boston, so I could treat her to a visit with a sick cousin she hadn't seen in 40 years for her 75th birthday. Long story short... I have to use a folding cane when I travel and need chair assist for airport mobility. I have two major health issues which do not allow me to freely move about without becoming so exhausted I literally cannot function. Cancer treatments can be brutal. As I boarded the plane in Dallas, a man was sitting in the aisle seat of the very front row. I boarded first and was trying to put my carry on overhead when this man suddenly started griping that I hit him with my cane. I felt NOTHING. how I could have hit him and not even felt a bump, I will never understand. I apologized to him and continued getting settled in. He kept griping that I was careless and carrying on like I had murdered his mother. I don't know what was going on with him, but it was way bigger than my supposedly hitting him by accident with my aluminum cane, which was hanging on my wrist by an elastic string. After getting settled in, one seat between he and I, another man came and sat in the seat between us. I leaned in to him after he got all seated and told him, "I don't know what that fella's problem is, but he sure has an attitude. Watch out." I whicspered this to the man, so the other fellow with the fly in his ointment could not possibly have heard me. Just then, the man of whom I was speaking got up and walked to the front of the plane. Before too long, a couple of the airline employees approached me and asked me to leave the plane! I was dumbfounded! My 75 year old mother was due to meet me in Boston and these people want to gum up my travel arrangements? I literally said nothing. I just got up and disembarked. No complaining. No arguing. NOTHING. After getting off, I asked to speak to a manager. When she finally showed up, I asked her to please tell me what I had said or done that merrited my being taken off the plane. All she said was, "If our attendants feel you need to be removed, we remove you. Period." I insisted on a better, more thorough explanation. NONE was forthcoming. I wound up stuck in a hanger ofr hours, without food, being a sever diabetic who has serious issues when my sigar drops low, which is why when I travel I try to prepare for every possibility. I never in the world expected this to happen. Again, long story short, I wound up having to call my 75 year old mother on her borthday and tell her I was going to be several hours late as I had been removed from the plane, without explanation. What else could we do? Long story short (again), I have NEVER been back on a Southwest plabe since. I literally get hives just thinking about trying to use that airline. That experience was so tramatic that I STILL have nightmares about it and what could have happened. Not only am I a diabetic with leukemia, I am also a 40+ years in ministry ordained minister! That is why I gave them absolutely no issues when they asked me to get off the plane. I believe in trying to live Christ-like. I have a SOuthwest - Chase credit card and have accrued many, many, many travel points. I won't even use them to fly for free as I am terrified that I may be trying to go somewhere and I will once again, com pletely without cause or explanation, be removed from my flight. I STILL have no clue what was said that made these people do me as they did. I can only speculate. Honestly, and you have no idea how much I hate to say these words, I have to wonder if it wasn't race related? The man in question was black. So was every single Southwest employee I had dealt with. I have wondered over and over again if that man didn't falsely claim I used a racial epitath or something. Being married to a person of color, and having decades of ministry which has included preaching in as many churches of color as "white" churches, I am not even remotely inclined to that. Not even remotely. But that would be the only justifiable accusation I could think of for the treatment I received. I can't imagine any other reason. When my sugar drops I can get extremely irritable and easily angry and frustrated. I carry glucose tablets with me to try and prevent this from happening. I did have one issue years ago while taking a Southwest flight that involved me being in very bad spirits due to a hypoglycemic incident. I was travelling with my spouse at that time, so ultimately I was able to get access to food which resolves the blood sugar issue within about 30 minutes. I have wondered also if they didn't somehow blacklist me over that incident and therefore, any accusation would justify their doing what they did. To this day, I HAVE NO CLUE! I still cannot get the trauma of this event out of my head.

Addison is one of the busiest private airports in the country, and the 2nd busiest single runway airport in the country (Behind San Diego International) This means that you get to see a wide variety of aircraft taking off and landing all day. From Cessna 172s giving flight lessons, to big Lear Jets and GulfStream IVs whisking executives away. On the weekends you'll even see some warbirds from Jim Cavanaugh's collection taking off. Addison Airport has Cavanaugh's Museum, countless flight schools, and even a company to fly christmas light flights over Dallas and other romantic flights and tours. For those who love planespotting, there are countless spots to post up and watch planes. I won't give away my own personal favorite spot, you need to find your own! But Dooley Ln, where the Control Tower stands has some great views of the airport. And on weekends a lot of plane spotters like to park for amazing views of approaching and departing aircraft in the office park parking lot on Westgrove Rd. at the end of Runway 15 (The north side of the airport) Happy Plane Hunting.
