    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.

    Parking update
    Dallas Love Field’s newest garage is Parking Garage C, which connects to the terminal via a skybridge. It has 5,000 parking spots, multiple payment options, and state-of-the-art technology that allows you to self-park and pay with ease.

    For a more "immersive" experience, park on the second floor so you can lay your eyes upon a mural celebrataing the Dallas Mavericks created by local muralist Tex Moton.

    Amenities
    In anticipation of spring break travel season, the airport has issued a suite of tips, amenities, and activities:

    Wine and dine. From American and Mexican cuisine to signature Texas and Dallas staples, there are nearly 30 sit-down and on-the-go restaurants, plus shops with books, toys, snacks, technology, eyewear, and makeup.

    Explore the arts. Through its Love Field Public Art Program, travelers can peruse the works of artists from Dallas and beyond with the airport’s permanent art collection and varying exhibitions. There are also opportunities to enjoy live music, theater, and dance performances by local artists, including those from the Office of Cultural Affairs Community Arts Program and The Texas Music Project. With proper planning, complimentary guided art tours can also be booked.

    Kids lounge. The Lil’ Love Lounge, DAL’s children’s play area allows kids to play before and after flights.

    Movies. The airport has free Wi-Fi.

    The HeART CART. The only mobile art cart for kids offered by a U.S. airport.

    Private areas. Dallas Love Field has a nursing room for parents, offices with Wi-Fi access for business travelers, and a prayer garden for those who need a place to pray.

    New $18 million AC Hotel by Marriott to land near DFW Airport

    New AC by Marriott, scheduled for landing in Grapevine in 2027.

    A new five-story, 200-room AC Hotel by Marriott is set to open in 2027 in Grapevine, not far from both DFW Airport and the city's touristy Main Street.

    Construction is to get underway in March on the $18 million, nearly 122,000-square-foot upscale hotel, located at 1701 State Hwy. 26 at Bass Pro Court, according to a filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.

    The AC Hotel will feature a ballroom, meeting rooms, a fitness center, a swimming pool, a full-service restaurant and bar, and an owners club.

    Grapevine-based Type Six Design and Development Services is the architect for the project.

    More than 250 AC Hotel properties are located in 33 countries, including five Dallas-Fort Worth locations. Two of the local hotels are in Dallas, with one each in Fort Worth, Frisco, and McKinney.

    Hotels close to the AC Hotel site in Grapevine include Hilton, Comfort Suites, Embassy Suites by Hilton, Homewood Suites by Hilton, Residence Inn by Marriott, and TownePlace Suites by Marriott. Also nearby are Marriott’s Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center, the Grapevine Mills outlet center, a Bass Pro Shops sporting goods store, and LEGOLAND Discovery Center Dallas/Fort Worth.

    Both DFW Airport and Grapevine's Historic Main Street (which gets particularly busy around the holidays in the "Christmas Capital of Texas") are just three miles away.

    The AC Hotels chain targets business travelers and solo travelers as guests, particularly millennials.

    Marriott says that at AC Hotel properties, “every moment has been designed, refined, crafted, and considered to create a seamless guest experience. Each AC Hotel features purposefully designed signature spaces that strike the perfect balance of form and function.”

    Marriott debuted the AC Hotel brand in North America in 2014. The concept started in Spain in 1998.
