Ground transportation cost is not a factor.
I am already very familiar with the pros and cons of Southwest.
i know this is a little late to this question...just my twocrnts
i have passed through both on connections snd travelled in and out each into dallas
forDAL
with the deregulation you know have moreglights to dal.
Right now now I live near DCA so there were direct flights to DAL on WN an Virgin that AS bought. AS leased the DCA slots to WN for 10 years starting roughly the beginning of this year.
The airport is smaller so I’m not concerned about connection time as I would with DFW
ive also travelled coast to coast using dallas as a overnight layover. Some of the hotels near DAL do not offer airport shuttles even though they use the airport in their hotel name.
withDFW..need longer connection time given it’s bigger airport. It’s farther from downtown dallas. They have direct access to DART and it’s convoluted system
