Dallas Love Field open, but travelers should expect cancellations and allow extra time
Summary
The Department of Aviation said Dallas Love Field remained open with runways clear; airlines were still cancelling flights and passengers were urged to check with carriers and arrive at least two hours before departure because of potential weather and high demand for the Cotton Bowl.
Lauren Rounds, spokesperson for the Department of Aviation, said Dallas Love Field remained open and operational during the winter storm, with runways, priority taxiways and terminals cleared and monitored for additional treatment as needed.
"Although the numbers have decreased from yesterday, our airline partners are still seeing many cancellations today, so passengers should continue checking directly with their airline for flight statuses and assistance with rescheduling," Rounds said. She urged travelers to allow extra time and recommended arriving at least two hours before departure because of potential long waits at check-in and TSA.
Rounds noted that Cotton Bowl activity could increase general aviation and charter traffic at Dallas Love Field and Dallas Executive, and said the airport's 24/7 operations center can connect passengers with assistance and partners.
The department advised passengers to monitor official airport social channels and the city website for the latest updates and to report any concerns to airport staff immediately.
