Terminal Information
The Dallas, Texas Airport features five terminals: Terminals A, B, C, D, and E. Serving as the main hub for American Airlines, Terminals A-C are used exclusively for this airline, while Terminals D and E are used primarily for international flights.
Other than Terminal E, it’s possible to walk between each terminal. However, given that the airport covers an area larger than the city of Manhattan, it’s a good idea to use the Skylink train, which departs regularly from the upper level of each terminal past security.
