The Early Bloomer

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.
