Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport travelers looking to grab a little shut-eye have another place to roost. On March 21, Minute Suites opens a location in Terminal A, next to gate A38.

This is the second location at DFW. It will have seven suites, consisting of four regular and three "premium" window suites, which have more room than standard suites, including a connecting suite for groups and families.

The original location opened in Terminal D in 2013. It has 10 suites, plus two showers. With the new location, that makes a total of 17 suites.

Suites require a one-hour minimum reservation. You can also book an eight-hour day rate and a flat overnight rate, too.

A one-hour rental is $42, with $10.50 for every 15 minutes after. The day rate is $160, and the overnight rate (11 pm-7 am) is $140. A 30-minute shower is $30, or $20 with room rental.

Minute Suites was founded in 2008 as a healthier way for people to travel. They're the first company in North America to provide private suites inside security at airports, where travelers can nap, relax, or work. Similar accommodations exist at airports in other countries such as Japan, but they're usually just a simple bed.

Each suite comes with a daybed sofa with a sliding trundle bed, plus pillows, blankets, desk, and office chair. A sound-masking system helps neutralize noise, and a unique Nap26 audio program is available to help deliver a refreshing power nap.

Each room has a computer with a 32-inch screen equipped with high-speed internet, flight-tracking information, and DirecTV. Laptop users can connect with the internet using airport Wi-Fi or a direct connection port. Guests can use the alarm clock in the suite or request a wake-up call.

According to Minute Suites co-founder Daniel Solomon, about 50 percent of users take a nap, 30 percent relax, and 20 percent work.

This opening marks the fourth airport location. The first Minute Suites opened in Atlanta in 2009, and there's also a facility in Philadelphia, with plans to open more in 2017, says Solomon in a release.

The end of summer brings a wistfulness but it also brings a hot travel sale to DFW: Frontier Airlines is celebrating the end of summer with a limited-time sale on travel from Dallas-Fort Worth. Extremely limited-time: On August 20-21, DFW residents seeking cheap getaways can access fares as low as $38 roundtrip on select routes from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport in September.

Flyers must book their travel on FlyFrontier.com or the Frontier mobile app by 10:59 pm Dallas time on August 21.

Frontier is already pretty cheap with roundtrip fares such as DFW to Las Vegas starting at around $60. But this is even cheaper.

“We’re ending the summer with a bang in Dallas-Fort Worth by slashing fares and unlocking affordable travel to many exciting destinations,” said Jeff Werkheiser, senior director of brand and customer engagement, Frontier Airlines. “Now is the perfect time to plan a last-minute September getaway with Frontier and have some extra cash in your pocket to spend at your destination.”

Frontier Airlines doesn't generally offer much in the way of amenities but this is to be expected with a roundtrip flight for $40.

However they've introduced some changes to their customer service offerings, including UpFront Plus seating, an upgraded seating option with extra leg and elbow room in the first two rows of the aircraft. Customers in UpFront Plus enjoy a window or aisle seat with extra legroom and a guaranteed empty middle seat.

And in late 2025, Frontier will begin offering First Class seating.

Fare details: Tickets must be purchased by 11:59 pm Eastern time on Aug. 21, 2025. Sale fares are valid for nonstop travel on select days of the week, Sep. 2, 2025, through Sep. 30, 2025. 14-day advance purchase is required. Not all markets are available for all dates of travel. Round trip purchase is required. All travel rules will apply, including Frontier Airlines' Contract of Carriage.
