Our recent return trip from Austin, Texas, went through Dallas, but I thought that would be the huge Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) airport; but it happily turned out to be the original Dallas airport, Love Field (DAL). There are only 20 gates in its single terminal, but it is packed with plenty of restaurants, bars, and shops. We'll be looking to fly through there for future trips.
The Southwest Airlines sign you see below has several screens with useful information, but I particularly like "how full is the aircraft for the next flight", which for this Atlanta-bound plane is 55%. It's nice to know you'll have room to spread out and stow luggage in the overhead bins. However, our Columbus, Ohio-bound plane was 85% full, but we still had adjacent seats, albeit in the back of the plane. Southwest is changing from its "cattle call" boarding process to assigned seats beginning January 27, 2026, a change we are 100% looking forward to.
