About
Arriving at Dallas Love Field
Dallas Love Field is Southwest Airlines' largest hub and sits close to downtown Dallas, making it a convenient alternative to the sprawling DFW. The modernized single terminal is efficient, but its compact arrivals curb means space fills up fast.
All gates feed into one central baggage claim area, so passengers exit relatively quickly. The Mockingbird Lane approach to the terminal can slow down during rush hours. A well-timed landing alert lets you pull up as your passenger reaches the curb.
Pickup tip
Love Field is just 6 miles from downtown Dallas. The single-terminal layout makes pickups simple, but the arrivals lane is short—time your arrival with a landing text to avoid circling.
