Here’s your strategy:
- Arrive at least two hours before domestic flights and three hours before international – adding extra buffer on peak days.
- Check your favorite map app before you leave home to avoid roadway congestion.
- Use the DFW Airport mobile app for live parking availability, security wait times and terminal alerts.
- If flying American Airlines, go through security at any terminal with shorter lines and connect to your gate using Skylink.
- Create a MyDFW account and turn on push notifications so you don’t miss gate or traffic updates.
Pro move: Enter from the north for Terminals A and B, and from the south for Terminals C, D and E when traffic conditions allow.
