Hoping to avoid holiday traffic at DFW Airport? Here’s another option that only costs $2
Many holiday travelers going in and out of Dallas Fort Worth International Airport faced heavy traffic delays on Sunday, Dec. 1.
The airport began warning travelers of heavy traffic around 4 p.m. Sunday and that continued for much of the evening. By 8 p.m., the airport posted on social media that there was continued “extremely heavy vehicle traffic.”
Around 9:45 p.m., the airport posted one last message about traffic returning to normal.
While DFW Airport has extensive parking options, there is another way for travelers to get to and from the terminals. Here’s what to know:
Taking the TEXRail to DFW Airport
Trinity Metro’s TEXRail takes travelers directly to DFW Airport for only $2. Here’s what to do:
