Key Information
Nearly 5.5M Christmas travelers expected between DFW Airport, Love Field

Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and Dallas Love Field Airport are expecting a surge in holiday travel.

The details: Dallas Love Field is anticipating 440,000 travelers for its main airline, Southwest Airlines, during the holiday travel season, said Patrick Clarke, Love Field’s public information coordinator II.

DFW Airport expects nearly 5 million to fly through during the period between Dec. 18 and Jan. 6, according to a news release. DFW Airport officials expect a 3.2% increase in passengers this year compared to the same period last year.

A closer look: A road project on West Mockingbird Lane near Dallas Love Field may cause delays for travelers due to lane reductions and temporary closures, Clarke said.

Zooming in: The DFW Airport news release stated public transit could help speed up the drop-offs and pick-ups. Trinity Metro’s TEXRail, DART’s Orange Line, DART’s Silver Line and XTrinity Railway Express all have drop off points at the airport.
