I flew through Dallas Love Field for the first time recently. And while I know I was seeing it in the middle of World Cup craziness, I was very impressed. This airport is on the smaller side. Only Southwest and Delta fly through here, but being on the smaller end, made it easy to get to your gate and to get to baggage claim quickly. But don't let the smaller size make you think it doesn't have much. My husband was particularly impressed with the Whataburger kiosk right past security. You can order there and then pick up when you get to Whataburger further down the concourse. DAL also had some live entertainment as well as ample other food and gift options. Our flights were relatively on time; security went fast; and the bathrooms were also clean. It checks all the boxes! read more

Very small airport. Southwest flies here, so I gave it try. Both times security lines were very quick, but my favorite thing about this airport is they have a Maggianos, and I love having a good meal before a flight. read more

Everything in Texas is big...except the bathrooms. Here at Love Field there are limited bathroom stalls/urinals. As soon as a plane unloads the passengers, there are lines that would make a store's grand opening proud. Of course, we live in the era of the smart phone, so guys go into the stalls and spend days in there looking at their phones with no regard for the long line that has grown and the pains guys are feeling trying not to let...things come out. The airport itself is not super clean. As I look at the floor in front of me, there are crumbs everywhere. BWE and I have a long layover so we've been sitting here for about an hour. I haven't seen anyone come through to clean. Someone came by to change out the trash bags but nobody has done any cleaning in our area. Earlier, we were sitting at a table for over an hour and I didn't see anyone clean. It is not overwhelmingly filthy but it's dirty. Places to eat and drink are here in abundance. Phone chargers in the waiting areas at the gates work, mostly. All in all I would say this airport is mid. UPDATE: we left the gate for an hour and came back and it still has not been cleaned. In fact, it's more dirty. read more

This place has a very chill level of chaotic. I thought overall it was well organized and clean. I easily found baggage claim and my way to the shuttle. It was busy crazy busy, but that probably had to do with the World Cup. Good experience. Easy to navigate. And I was proud to figure out their shuttle to light rail system. It took me right to the hotel. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

So Love Field used to be my airport of choice. That ended today. After a long flight , I call a Lyft and I'm looking all over for where the Ride App area is and I find out it's been detoured . I'm walking all over the place trying to see where they moved it this month. Very inconvenient when people have to meet their drivers on time and overall wanna get home. Do better and have better signage of the designated area that is changing. read more

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. read more

I have never flown out of Love Field, which can be more telling, especially in regards to amenities and security, but when I am only flying IN, I judge an airport by navigation and how quickly I get to a bathroom!!! In this case, it was pretty easy getting off the plane and to my car rental booth. However, it is really annoying to have someone at the Rental Car Information Booth who lets everyone pass her just to find "Go to the Shuttle" signs at the counter. Spend the money on a sign that doesn't roll its eyes. Of course, this was the last airport JFK flew into. In fact, LBJ was sworn in as president while on the tarmac here. For being one of the oldest continually operating airports in the US (founded in 1917 as a WW1 training base), it doesn't look like it. By the way, if you're on a layover, they have a Smithsonian-affiliated museum ($12) that houses over 30 aircraft and extensive space flight exhibits on airport grounds a 5 minute taxi ride away. As for being the site of movies: their modern (for its time) moving sidewalks were used in Logan's Run (1976). Oliver Stone recreated the president's arrival here for JFK (1991), as did the Stephen King based 11.22.63 (2016); Wes Anderson used it for the backdrop of Bottle Rocket (1996), and the airport was a plot point in Michelle Pfeiffer's Love Field (1992). read more

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. read more

Dallas Love Field - DAL - Airports Near Me - Dallas, Texas

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.

Meh. It is what it is: an outdated airport, really serving only one airline (yo! Southwest!), with a modern veneer splashed about. No Admirals Clubs or other fancypants spots to be found. You know what Love Field is not? DFW. You can walk end-to-end, from Gate 1 to Gate 20, at Love Field in five minutes or less. That is quite the bonus if you have a connecting flight, which many people do if they use one of the limited number of airlines. Juxtapose this with DFW, where you might have to switch trains, walk through multiple terminals, and get worn out before you have to fly. But hey, you're getting your steps in at DFW. Advantage: Love Field. But Love Field's comparative amenities are sparse, although you can grab a quick drink at either end of the terminal, and if you miss a flight or get weather delays, then the options for entertainment grow slim. DFW wins this one. But it is what it is and Love Field isn't really trying to be more. Yes, they dedicate mostly to just one airline and that probably works really well, but Dallas has options. If you're flying Southwest, then this is your jam. read more

The Dallas Love Field airport is the best airport to fly into when coming to the DFW area! In comparison to DFW International, this airport is much smaller and the terminal area is easy to navigate. Only a few airlines fly into this airport but I believe most of the traffic comes from Southwest airlines. They've remodeled this airport in the last couple of years and everything inside the terminal feels modern and clean. I love all their little shops and the food selection is also great. The only thing I don't love about this airport is their rideshare area. It is located inside a parking garage which is kinda out of the day and it requires a good 10min walk which might not be very convenient to folks carrying a lot of luggage. Overall, this is a great airport to fly into Dallas and avoid all the madness from their other international airport. read more

This is a mid sized airport that is really easy to navigate and get around. There is only one terminal, two levels with two concourses. Southwest is the primary airline while JetSuiteX provides flights from a separate terminal. There are a few center aisle kiosk, restaurants and shops such as Chilis and Starbucks. There is also a light rail ride (DART) that has a free shuttle transportation to the Inwood station. The terminal lay out design is like a straight long walk way. Getting around is easy peezy read more

Ok. Easy in and easy out... it's just far from Fort Worth and the cowboys in Arlington. The rental cars are booked up solid most of the time - at least that's how it feels to me .. so book early and well before your trip. Southwest's hub so it's where I fly in to . Southwest is easier to fly for me - so it's where I go. The staff are nice and the food court has something for everyone.. so it's a win. read more

My first time leaving a review on anything. I was on one of the last flights I believe and expected the workers to be a little fed up and ready to leave (might still have been the case) but they were all super lovely and extremely nice. Truly was moved by how all the workers were very polite. Was super easy to navigate as well. I would definitely recommend coming here. read more

I feel bad to say this but this is my least favorite airport. So crowded. Not enough bathrooms. Lines going out the door. Bad food options. AC is not strong enough. Insanely crowded and hot. Nowhere to sit too. read more

I like this airport better than the other Dallas airport. It's smaller and reminds me of a mall. It's really crowded and the bathroom always seems to have a long line. The charging sockets are hit and miss. Some work, while others don't. Because the airport is smaller, there is less seating, which often leads to a lot of travelers standing around. The stores and restaurants within are ok. I did like the addition of a CPK pizza vending machine. I thought that was cool. It's an ok airport. read more

Dallas Love Field seemed nice enough upon arrival from Los Angeles International. It was larger than I expected, especially given how massive DFW is, and there were plenty of food options throughout the terminal. On my way out, I stopped to use the restroom and noticed long lines near the main terminal areas, but the farther I walked, the less crowded things became so that part was manageable. It was, however, a bit of a trek to get out to the pickup area. Unfortunately, that's where things took a turn for me. The signage for pickup, ground transportation, and designated waiting areas was not very clear. I eventually made my way outside and waited on the curb between the ticketing area and the busy baggage claim pickup zone. While waiting, there was a security officer walking around the area, as well as another traveler also waiting with luggage. At no point were we told that we couldn't be picked up there. It wasn't until my ride arrived and my friend had already gotten out of the car to help with my luggage that the officer abruptly said, "You can't get picked up here." She then appeared to take a photo of his license plate, which felt unnecessary and honestly left a really bad impression. If this is a restricted loading zone, the signage needs to be much clearer and enforcement should be communicated proactively, not after the fact. The lack of clarity combined with the way the situation was handled did not reflect the kind of hospitality I would expect in Texas. Overall, the airport itself is fine, but beware - the pickup experience could use serious improvement. read more

I didn't love this Airport. It is very small, and seems to primarily host Southwest Airlines. I think there was one Delta gate. There were shops restaurants and bars down the middle of the terminal. In some airports it wouldn't be a big deal dash dash in fact we saw some of that at MSY and it was fine. But there isn't much room at this Airport and it felt like people were constantly dodging each other just to walk to their Gates. I don't even know that you could walk more than four across on either side. There are plenty of options for food for such a small airport, however, it is really overpriced. Prices here were much worse than most other airports I've been in. I had just left the airport in New Orleans where I paid $3.29 for small bottle of water. The same bottle at the East Airport was $6. It's crazy! They're also were not enough tables. There were lots of people standing around holding trays of food with no place to sit and eat. This airport is kind of ugly. It looks old and bland. The bathrooms are incredibly small. Airports need lots of stalls and the stalls should be big enough that people can change or clean up after a long flight. This bathroom had six small stalls and a line out the door. One positive for the ladies: there is a tampon/pad machine with a sign that says they don't believe people should have to pay for feminine supplies, so just take whatever you need for free. I guess free tampons is a plus. Overall, I would have to be getting a really good flight deal to route myself to this Airport. I just did not like it too much. read more

Flight parked at gate 15 and I had to walk next door to gate 17, can't complain about that. Theseating area was pretty full, but was able to find a seat with an outlet to charge my phone. There are lots of refreshment options that aren't too far away. Not bad for a brief layover. Southwest is always looking for bags to be checked - they've asked for 12 on my flight to LIT. Maybe they shouldn't have eliminated free checked bags? read more

When booking our Vegas trip there had to be a connection there and back. On the way out, I picked Dallas because I've connected there before. BUT little did I not realize until landing that we were at Love Field, not DFW. Whoopsie! But it was a pleasant surprise because DAL was the perfect size. Our landing gate was directly across from our departing gate. There was a food court area with numerous food options and plenty of places to sit and eat. Our layover was right at an hour, so after some food, the bathroom, we walked right up to just about begin boarding in section A. Great simple airport. :-) read more

Smaller airport than DFW but big as far as personality and amenities!!! I've never seen so many food options concentrated in an area. Plentiful seating options to dine too. Signage is clearly marked and easy to navigate. I wasn't (and still really) a fan of Southwest but they have their T's crossed and their i's dotted here. Very organized and what I love is that the agents do not talk over each other on the intercom. Gates 1-10 in one area and imagine if each agent is making announcements and you can't hear it. Overall very impressed with the organization and cleanliness of this airport. read more

There are roughly 50,000 people moving through this airport every day and the men's restroom has 8 stalls... 8 stalls!!! You can forget about ever finding one available. There is consistently a line out the door, which suggests the airport is clearly not up to code for the volume it handles. This should be a crime. On top of that, the restrooms are extremely dirty. The store selection is minimal and underwhelming, and the staff is generally rude and unhelpful. Overall, this is easily one of the worst airports in the country and a frustrating experience every single time. read more

Whether you want a quick bite, something a little more filling, or a drink before your flight, there is plenty to choose from. Everything is conveniently located and you never feel like you have to hike a mile just to grab food. The terminal is clean, comfortable, and surprisingly relaxed for such a busy airport.
