Checkpoints and tips
Every terminal has its own security checkpoints. DFW has a high share of connecting passengers, so lines are usually lighter than at origin airports of the same size.
- TSA PreCheck is available at the terminals. Check the checkpoint signage for lane status.
- If you arrive at Terminal D from abroad, allow extra time for immigration, especially in the late afternoon when several wide-body flights land.
