Connecting On The Skylink
The connecting time when riding the Skylink is only eight minutes at the most. It is only a two minute wait time for a train and a two minute trip from a terminal to its closest neighboring terminal. This allows a person to reach a connecting flight in another terminal easily and quickly. There is also the key point that many of the terminals have unique restaurant and shopping locations. The Skylink allows a person with a longer layover to hit up different terminals for different options.
There seems to always be construction ongoing at the DFW International Airport. For anyone trying to get to their flights on time, this construction means a person should leave earlier than normal to ensure a flight is not missed. Terminals A and D have a brand new high tech parking guidance system in place to help travelers find out exactly where they need to go, serving American Airlines and international carriers. For those flying other airlines, especially those that depart from Terminal E, it is best to park at the DFW Express South Parking, adjacent to Terminal E. This is a trunk to terminal service, which guarantees to be there in five minutes.
Honestly, the best advice to anyone traveling through the DFW International Airport is to download the DFW Airport app onto any smartphone or tablet. This app has voice concierge, social media integration, shop and restaurant locators, a flight tracker that remains up to date, parking availability and more. There is no more searching for display screens in the airport or trying to find a parking garage that has availability when this app does everything for a traveler. The app also has a setting to show anyone restaurants, bathrooms, bars and shops that are all within five minutes from the gate, so there is no wasted time searching for a stop that might be out of the way.This is available through the iTunes App Store, Google Android Play Store and BlackBerry App World.
