Passengers are advised to arrive at the airport at least two hours before their flight to allow enough time for security screening.

Fast Track Lanes and Locations

Passengers who are members of TSA PreCheck or CLEAR can use the designated fast track lanes at Dallas Love Field Airport. TSA PreCheck lanes are available at all four security checkpoints, while CLEAR lanes are located at the main terminal and satellite terminals. These lanes allow eligible passengers to bypass the regular security lines and expedite the screening process.

Passport & Immigration Control Locations

Dallas Love Field does not have international flights, so there are no passport or immigration control locations at the airport. However, passengers traveling to international destinations from Dallas Love Field will need to connect through another airport with international flights and go through passport and immigration control at that airport.

TSA and TSA Pre Checkpoints

DAL Airport has several TSA and TSA Pre Checkpoints located throughout the airport to help expedite the security screening process for passengers. TSA Pre Check is a program that allows eligible passengers to enjoy a faster, more efficient screening experience by keeping on their shoes, belts, and light jackets, and leaving laptops and liquids in their carry-on bags. To use TSA Pre Check, passengers must apply for the program and be approved by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).

Love Field has a Global Entry Enrollment Center located on-site for added convenience.
