Local art at Dallas Love Field includes "North Texas Sunrise" by Dixie Friend Gay.
March is here which means a lot of things but for the purposes of this story, it means it's time to start thinking about Spring Break and Dallas Love Field is all over it.
The airport expects an average of more than 30,000 travelers per day during the weeks of Spring Break, which in 2023 occur between March 6–10 and March 13–17, depending on local school district.
They're offering tips to preparing for upcoming travel. Roll out the bulleted list!
- Arrive early. Plan ahead and arrive at the airport at least two hours early to allow enough time for parking, checking luggage, and security.
- Prepare for TSA Screening. Adhere to TSA guidelines to avoid onsite delays. For a full listing of requirements, visit the TSA website.
- Gather your documents. Keep all important documentation including government-issued identification, boarding passes, and vaccination cards (when applicable) readily available.
- Properly pack firearms. Wait, what. When traveling with a firearm, it must be unloaded and placed in a secure container within checked baggage and declared at check-in. Firearms are never allowed in carry-on luggage.
