Dallas Love Field offers Holiday travel tips

Dallas - To help holiday travelers make it to their destinations smoothly and as stress-free as possible, Dallas Love Field has these parking and travel tips: 

  • Check with your airline for flight departure/arrival status prior to arriving at the airport. 
  • Arrive at least 1½ to 2 hours before your flight to allow time for parking, check-in, baggage check, security and any unplanned event(s) especially during peak hours. Love Field has many areas under construction, and as a result, many areas have been changed. Allow time to get acquainted with new locations and directions.
  • Drop-off and curbside check-in for all Southwest Airlines’ passengers is on the upper roadway in front of the Ticketing/Check-In on Herb Kelleher Way (formerly Cedar Springs Road).
  • Pick up for all arriving passengers is in front of Baggage Claim on the upper roadway on Herb Kelleher Way.
  • Parking or waiting curbside is not allowed, so use the cell phone waiting lot, located right before the valet parking lot, when picking up travelers. You will be able to wait there until your passenger calls for pick up at the curb.
  • Vehicles parked in unauthorized areas or abandoned will be towed.
  • Parking Garages A and B offer free parking for the first 30 minutes. After that charges apply. See http://www.dallas-lovefield.com/parking-transportation.html.
  • Hide your belongings, Lock your car and Take your keys.  If you own a truck, be sure to lock or secure the tailgate.
  • Pickup for taxis, limousines, transportation network companies and for-hire shuttles is located on the lower level curbside.
  • For additional travel and airport information, visit one of the three information booths in the terminal lobby, baggage claim and the concessions village. 
  • DART Route 524 buses connect Love Field to DART's Inwood/Love Field station. The free shuttle operates daily from 5:30 to 1 a.m. For schedule and fare information visit www.DART.org/LoveField
  • Due to the volume of vehicles during holidays, consider alternate plans for getting to and from the airport, such as DART, ground transportation or having someone pick up or drop you off. 
  • Carry-on items are limited to one small bag and one personal item,

Media parking

The media staging location at Dallas Love Field is currently inaccessible due to construction. A new interim location is located outside the exit side of the first parking garage off Herb Kelleher (formerly Cedar Springs). To reach the interim location, enter the airport on Herb Kelleher, continue past the terminal and baggage claim, then head south in the far left lane. 

After the first parking garage and at the end of the grassy median, make a U turn, enter the driveway through the exit lane and park in the space outside the garage. Do not block exit stalls or access to any storage containers.
