DFW Airport Offers Parking Tips for Travelers To Best Navigate Through the Airport, Including “Trunk to Terminal” Shuttles From Express South Parking

With roadway and parking facility construction in full swing at Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) International Airport, DFW is advising customers to give themselves plenty of time to get to the Airport. For customers parking at the Airport, there are new, high-tech parking guidance systems in place at Terminals A and D, which serve American Airlines and international carriers. If departing on Air Canada, Alaska Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Frontier Airlines, JetBlue Airways, Spirit Airlines, United Airlines, US Airways and WestJet, which all operate from Terminal E, DFW recommends customers park at DFW’s Express South Parking, adjacent to Terminal E. Express South provides “trunk to terminal” service to terminal E in five minutes and more economical parking rates. Shuttles for all other terminals are also available at both Express North and Express South Parking for customer convenience.

“A key part of our mission at DFW Airport is to demonstrate exceptional customer service,” said Ken Buchanan, executive vice president for revenue management at DFW Airport. “As we work on our long term vision of updating our terminals, improving parking and roadways, we hope a little information will go a long way toward enhancing the customer experience while construction is going on in the short term.”

As a result, the Airport is offering a few handy tips for improving the customers’ experience, particularly if traveling on the seven airlines serving Terminal E.

• Customers may use both upper and lower levels to drop off passengers. 
• One-hour parking for drop-offs and pick-ups is located at both the first entrance to Terminal E, and the last entrance. The middle parking entrance for Terminal E is undergoing construction. 
• Terminal E travelers parking at the airport are encouraged to park in Express South Parking, which has special “trunk-to-terminal E” shuttle service running around the clock. Passengers using Express South can park for only $11/day and avoid driving through construction congestion while the Terminal E parking construction is underway. They will also enjoy luggage assistance, complimentary bottled water and newspapers, and up-to-date flight information. For more information, visit www.DFWAirport.com/ParkExpress_South.
• For Terminal E customers traveling with only carry-on bags, you can park at Terminal D, and check in at Terminal D at any of the kiosks in the international departures hall (Doorway D18), and after passing through security take a quick Skylink ride to all Terminal E gates.
