Connecting Between Terminals for Lounge Access

DFW has a convenient Skylink train that serves all terminals, apart from Terminal E. Trains operate inside the secure area, so if you need to travel between terminals to visit a lounge, you can do so without needing to clear security. This of course excludes any passengers arriving at DFW on international flights or passengers that need to collect luggage in between a connection where exiting the secure area is necessary.

DFW Skylink Terminal Map — Image Credit: Dallas Fort Worth International Airport

Terminal E is the only terminal that is not served by the Skylink train and passengers must ride a shuttle bus. Be sure to allow lots of time to connect if using the facilities or lounges in one of the other terminals before your flight.

Best Credit Cards To Access Priority Pass Lounges

With over 1,400 participating airport lounges worldwide (including 5 at DFW), a Priority Pass membership is one of the most valuable perks for frequent and semi-frequent travelers. Luckily there are several credit cards that come with a Priority Pass membership as a perk for holding the card.

One great card option is the Chase Sapphire Reserve^®. Another stellar card option is the Amex Platinum card that grants you access to Priority Pass lounges upon enrollment, as well as Amex Centurion lounges, Plaza Premium lounges, Delta Sky Clubs (when flying Delta), and Escape Lounges.

Interested in other card options that offer cardholders a Priority Pass membership? Each of these cards does just that and more!

Enrollment may be required before you can access Priority Pass lounges.

Final Thoughts

Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is an easy airport to get around. Just hop on the Skylink train and you’ll reach your next terminal in under 9 minutes (depending on which terminal you’re traveling to). If you’re looking to relax away from the sometimes chaotic communal areas of the airport, you’ll have lots of choices at DFW.

If you’re not eligible to use an airline lounge, there are a few options that you can pay to access. The Club at DFW accepts passengers from any airline with a standard entry fee, or you may prefer to game for an hour at Gameway or book a private suite at Minute Suites.
