Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) is preparing for a surge in passenger traffic during this year’s spring break travel season, with an anticipated 4.6 million travelers passing through between March 7 and March 25.
Compared to the same period last year, overall travel volume is forecasted to increase by approximately 13%. In light of this, the airport advises customers to plan ahead for parking and arrival times, especially on peak travel days such as Friday, March 15, Sunday, March 17, and Friday, March 22. DFW expects to accommodate around 250,000 passengers each day during these high-traffic periods.
DFW boasts more than 250 non-stop destinations, solidifying its position as one of the nation’s most interconnected airports. Among the top destinations anticipated this season departing from DFW are Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Orlando, and Cancún.
“This year is shaping up to be the busiest spring break season on record at DFW, which makes it important for travelers to book their parking online ahead of time, arrive at the airport early and allow extra time to relax and enjoy the airport before takeoff,” said Ken Buchanan, DFW’s Executive Vice President of Revenue Management and Customer Experience. “From valet parking to exciting new restaurants, shops and stunning lounge spaces, the airport can be a fun part of your spring vacation if you plan ahead.”
To ensure a seamless journey, travelers are advised to explore DFW’s Travel Tips and utilize its website and app tools. By creating a MyDFW account on the website, customers can conveniently store parking preferences and payment details, manage parking reservations, and receive exclusive updates and offers. Monitoring parking lot occupancy levels through the website enables travelers to select the most suitable parking option. Prebooking parking across the airport’s lots enables customers to save, with early planning recommended for optimal rates.
Presently, travelers can reserve spots at DFW’s recently reopened Remote North lot at least 14 days prior to arrival, securing a special rate as low as $4 per day. Bookings for this offer must be completed by April 14 for trips concluding on or before May 10.
Parking facilities at Terminals C and D often reach full capacity rapidly.However, for American Airlines passengers, if these garages are full, parking, check-in, baggage drop, and security clearance services are available at Terminals A or B. Upon clearing security, the Skylink train efficiently connects travelers to all five terminals. The mobile app provides real-time updates on TSA wait times, aiding travelers in estimating security clearance durations and locating TSA Checkpoints and TSA PreCheck® lanes.
