DFW
Dallas Fort Worth International Airport
Best for: Extensive domestic and international flight options
Distance: Approximately 20 miles from downtown Dallas

DAL
Dallas Love Field
Best for: A closer airport option when flights are available from your origin
Distance: Less than seven miles from downtown Dallas
Getting downtown: Rideshare, taxi, rental car, or public transit
Dallas Love Field’s proximity to downtown can make it a convenient option depending on your origin, airline, schedule, and fare.
Which airport should I choose?

Consider your flight options, schedule, airline preference, fare, and ground transportation when deciding between DFW and Dallas Love Field.
