New DFW Airport Station means great
new DART Rail connections
The August 18 opening of the new DFW Airport Station
at Terminal A connects North Texas to the world and
the world to one of the nation’s fastest growing regions.
Here are answers to some of the most commonly asked
questions about our newest light rail service.
What are the Orange Line’s hours of operation?
The first Orange Line train arrives at DFW Airport Station
each day of the week at 3:50 a.m. The last one arrives at 1:19
a.m. The first Orange Line train departs DFW Airport Station
on weekdays at 4:18 a.m. with the last train departing at 1:12
a.m. On weekends, the first Orange Line train departs DFW
Airport Station at 4:06 a.m. The last train departs at 12:12 a.m.
Will I notice any major change in the Orange Line schedule?
Mid-day frequencies will remain basically the same. In the
early mornings, the number of departures from downtown
Dallas prior to 6:15 a.m. will increase from three to nine,
beginning at 2:54 a.m. from Pearl/Arts District Station. This
includes five additional trains originating at Fair Park Station,
plus a special Orange Line train will operate from the Green
Line’s Buckner Station at 5:18 a.m., arriving at Pearl/Arts
District Station at 5:46 a.m. and continuing to DFW. Late
evening inbound trips to Downtown Dallas will increase
significantly as well (see inside section for specific times).
What are the approximate travel times from DFW Airport
Station to major Orange Line destinations and
transfer points?
• Belt Line Station – 8 minutes
• Bachman Station (transfer point for
Green Line) – 31 minutes
• SW Medical District/Parkland Station – 41 minutes
• Victory Station (transfer point for
Trinity Railway Express) – 46 minutes
• West End Station (transfer point for
Red and Blue lines) – 50 minutes
(Visit www.DART.org for more schedule information.)
Will I have to pay the regional fare to take the Orange Line
to DFW Airport Station?
No. The ride to DFW Airport Station will be covered by the
local fare – $2.50 for a two-hour pass and $5 for a day pass.
Will Bus Route 500 still serve the airport?
No. The Orange Line will replace Route 500, which will be
re-directed to serve a new Commercial and Industrial area
nearby. DART buses will be used only in the event of a
service disruption.

What are the rules about luggage on DART Rail?
You must be able to board and exit DART vehicles with all
baggage at one time and without luggage carts. Luggage
must not block the aisles; the cars do not have racks on
board. DART operators are not required to provide assistance. The center car of each three-car rail vehicle provides
boarding level with the platform – perfect for roll-on luggage
– and abundant floor space compared with the other cars.
A DFW Smarte Carte station is located near the walkway
between the airport and DFW Airport Station.
Can I check my bags in at Terminal A?
Passengers flying on American Airlines (from any terminal)
can walk from the station up the walkway to Terminal A to
check in, check bags and pass through a security checkpoint. Passengers taking American Airlines flights from
another terminal can do the same and then take Skylink.
Passengers using other air carriers who need to check bags
should take their bags with them and use Terminal Link, the
airport’s inter-terminal bus shuttle, which stops near the
rail station. (If you have only carry-on luggage, you can go
through security and take Skylink to your terminal.)
Do I need my DART pass to board the Terminal Link buses?
Terminal Link is free.
How do I access Skylink, the airport’s automated aerial
people mover system connecting the terminals?
Skylink is located inside the terminal, beyond airport security.
