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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Dallas Love Field - DAL - Gates 15&17 - Airports Near Me - Dallas, Texas

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

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

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

Dallas Love Field is a solid airport experience from start to finish. It's easy to navigate, clearly marked, and laid out in a way that actually makes sense, which takes a lot of stress out of travel. Security usually moves at a steady pace and the staff has always been helpful and professional. One of the best parts is the variety of dining and bar options. 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. Seating is easy to find, charging stations are available, and the atmosphere feels welcoming. Overall, Dallas Love Field delivers a smooth, enjoyable travel experience. I always appreciate how straightforward it is to get in, get settled, and get on my way. I would gladly fly through here again. read more

Definitely my preference between the two Dallas options! read more

I found mostly nothing wrong with this airport. The artwork, the ease of directions, commuting through TSA, etc. I "enjoyed" my time for what you can at an airport. It's a little smaller than I actually thought a Dallas airport would be, but powerful in what is standing. The only adjustment I'd make is the fact that the bathrooms didn't have too many solo-travel accommodations, and by that.. I mean at BWI specifically for example, there's ample amount of space in stalls for luggage to fit, along with hanging stands, etc. This airport had more shelf-space than anything, as if you had just a purse with you. But overall a great airport. Check it out on your next trip! read more

I go to Dallas once a year for work and always flown in to Dallas Love Field. This airport is smaller compared to other airports I've been to and is easy to navigate through. TSA is efficient and friendly. So many different dining options close to the gates which is nice. My most recent visit, I dined at Maggianos prior to my flight departure. The USO office was just a few doors down from Maggianos which is perfect for those in the military or those with prior military service. This airport does get pretty crowded so expect to wait in line if you're planning on dining at any of the restaurants. read more

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

Love Field is a great alternative to the massive & crowded DFW airport. While a major airport for airlines like Dallas & Southwest as well as international flights, the airport has a nice, small regional airport feel to it. In the morning hours TSA checkpoints are short and quick. If you have a family, the agents will also often let you go through the precheck line just to save you from having to pull your kids along the winding line. Little things like that won't happen at larger airports. Once you're through security, the terminals are clean and inviting. Fellow travelers, while walking with a purpose, aren't rushing through giving the atmosphere a nice laid back feel to it. There are also plenty of food options to satisfy any craving you might have while waiting for a flight (or just departing from one). Bags also come out quickly so if you're in a rush to get out of the airport, they'll help you out with that as well. I will say that most of the car rental centers are off site so even to just check in for a car you will have to ride a shuttle. But thankfully they're not too far away so it shouldn't take too long to get to that part of your journey. In all, I was very impressed with Dallas Love Field. I've only ever flown through Fort Worth but after this experience, I think I'm going to make Love my go to Dallas airport. read more

I like flying SWA so I'm in Dallas more often than not. This is a smaller airport with 20 gates so easy to get around. The dining options do offer a nice range of options like Dickeys BBQ, Chik fila, Whataburger, Moes, Dunkin, Starbucks, Chinese and a host of restaurants that I never have time to sit and eat in. They also have Baskin Robbin's and I do indulge in a scoop of Jamoica almond fudge. My biggest complaint though is small bathrooms and during peak times, the line is long. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

Like other states that does not carry a state ID or drivers license and that's on our phone. This airport is still in the 1800s.. unlike the other airports that are upgraded where you can use your drivers license and your state ID on the Wallet. This airport is still an old school where you still show physical even though State law stated that we can show our wallet ID card. If you have the phone Wallet drivers license or state ID that is perfect fine. You can get through but the bag check people want a physical one. Either love field need to learn the new laws or something else. Even with the new upgrades are getting is still act like they're in the 1800s. It is a very fast airport you go in and you get out. And it's easy, but if you have your phone Wallet ID or drivers license. Just be very careful with the front desk because they're saying one thing in the law stated this and they're choosing not to listen to that direction. read more
