    About TSA Security at Dallas/Fort Worth International

    Dallas/Fort Worth International spans five terminals (A–E), each with its own TSA checkpoint. Terminal D is the international terminal and has TSA PreCheck available. All other terminals (A, B, C, E) also offer TSA PreCheck lanes. Terminal A, the primary American Airlines hub, often sees the longest waits during holidays. The Skylink rail runs between all terminals post-security and pre-security connections require going through a terminal bridge. Arriving early and using TSA PreCheck or CLEAR at DFW is strongly recommended during peak hours.
