Dallas Ft Worth DFW
Dallas Fort Worth International is the airport most people mean when they search for flights from Dallas. It sits between Dallas and Fort Worth and takes the bulk of the region's long-haul flying, with Madrid, Milan, Liverpool, Birmingham, Hannover, Dresden, Inverness and Santiago de Compostela among the cities you can reach from its terminals. Love Field, the city's other airport, is closer in and handles a different kind of trip, so check which one your ticket names before you book.

Getting to the city
Getting into Dallas from the airport is straightforward. Rail, shared shuttles, taxis and rideshare all leave from the terminal area, and the train is usually the calmer option when the freeways are backed up. Build in slack for the return leg: check-in and security at a hub this size take longer than at a smaller field, and the run out to the terminals can stall in rush hour. Confirm before you set off whether your flight leaves from here or from Love Field.
