DFW Airport in three stops

Where it is

Dallas Fort Worth International Airport opened on January 13, 1974. Its 17,207 acres cross the city lines of Grapevine, Irving, Euless and Coppell, in Dallas and Tarrant counties, and the airport is owned by the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth. Five terminals are open, A to E. Terminal F is under construction, with its first 15 gates planned for 2027.

By car, International Parkway (Spur 97) runs through the middle of the airport, from SH 114 at the north end to SH 183 at the south, and SH 360 follows its western boundary.

Where to look nearby

Of the cities we cover, Irving (Las Colinas, Valley Ranch and Downtown Irving), Coppell, Cypress Waters and Carrollton are the ones next to the airport or on a train line to it. Grapevine and Euless border the airport too, and both are among the cities we cover.

Getting there by train

  • DART Orange Line to Terminal A, from Las Colinas, central Irving and downtown Dallas (since 2014).
  • DART Silver Line to DFW Airport North and Terminal B, from Cypress Waters, Carrollton, Addison, Richardson and Plano (since October 2025).
  • TEXRail to DFW Airport North and Terminal B, from Grapevine and downtown Fort Worth (since 2019).
  • The Trinity Railway Express stops at CentrePort/DFW Airport, south of the airport, a bus ride from the terminals: DFW’s TRE Link shuttle runs between CentrePort and the Terminal B station.
  • Inside security, the Skylink train connects all the terminals.

Neighborhoods to start with

Valley Ranch

The terminals are about 21 minutes away without traffic.

Las Colinas

The Orange Line runs from Las Colinas to Terminal A with no transfer, so an address near one of its stations there, Las Colinas Urban Center or Irving Convention Center, can mean a train commute every day. Las Colinas is also a large office center, which helps a household with one job at the airport and one in an office.

Cypress Waters

A development of the city of Dallas around North Lake, on Coppell’s southern edge. Its Silver Line station, on Belt Line Road, is two stops from Terminal B, and it has a park-and-ride.

Coppell: Riverchase and Old Town

Part of the airport’s land is inside Coppell’s city limits. Coppell is not a DART city, so there are no DART trains or buses in town; the nearest station is at Cypress Waters, just south. Riverchase, on the east side, and Old Town Coppell, in the center, suit people who drive to work 12 min.

Downtown Carrollton

Three Silver Line stops from Terminal B, and on the DART Green Line too, which runs to Love Field and downtown Dallas. It works for a household where one person works at DFW and the other in Dallas, or for anyone who flies out of both airports.

Working shifts at the airport

  • Trains don’t run around the clock. The Silver Line leaves Terminal B from 4:28 a.m. to 12:28 a.m. on weekdays and 5:28 a.m. to 12:28 a.m. on weekends, every 30 minutes at weekday rush hours and on weekends after 8 a.m., and about hourly otherwise. The Orange Line leaves Terminal A from about 4:10 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. every day, and TEXRail leaves Terminal B from 5:10 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. every day; the last trains of both run only part of the way.
  • If you start before the first train or finish after the last one, tell us your real hours. We time the drive at those hours, and check parking at each community before it goes on your list.
  • Switching lines at the airport: the Orange Line stops at Terminal A, the Silver Line and TEXRail at Terminal B, and the walk from the Terminal B station to the Orange Line at Terminal A takes about five minutes.
  • Employee parking and badge offices are set by the airport and your employer, not by the terminal your train serves (DFW’s employee lots are Employee North and Employee South, and your company issues the parking tag), so tell us where you park or report and we time the trip to that point.

Working at the airport or flying every week

DFW handled

85.66 million passengers in 2025, fourth in the world, and it is American Airlines’ largest hub. American’s headquarters is in Fort Worth, just south of the airport, at 1 Skyview Drive.

  • Relocating with a training class or a new base: tell us your dates. We ask each community about leases shorter than 12 months, and about a job offer letter in place of pay stubs, before it goes on your list.
  • If you fly for work rather than at work, the Orange Line and Silver Line trips above are also the way to skip airport parking.

Approval is always the community’s decision.

We never promise it.
