A Legacy of Private Aviation
On October 19, 1917, Dallas Love Field was commissioned as a training base for the U.S. Army Air Service. The airport is named in memory of Army Lieutenant Moss Lee Love, who died during flight training. Following World War I, Love Field continued to function as a military air base until it was purchased by the city of Dallas in 1927 for civilain use. The airfield's initial paved runways were finished in 1932 and commercial air service increased throughout the 1930s. During World War II, KDAL once again played an extensive role for the military and then saw immense growth as a passenger airport during the post-war boom. On October 6, 1940, Love Field's Lemmon Avenue Terminal Building opened on the airfield's east side. By 1965, the airport had added new terminals and a second parallel runway. In 1964, the FAA mandated that Dallas and Fort Worth reach an agreement to build a major airport that would serve the entire DFW Metroplex. It was then in 1974 that Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport opened, just as Love Field was having its busiest year to date (1973). The new airport was built as a way to end passenger service at Love Field. As a result, 1974 was Love Field's slowest year, causing the facility to open an ice rink and video arcade (known as The Love Entertainment Complex) to bring in revenue. With business so slow, it appeared as thought the airport was going to close, but it was saved by the founding of Southwest Airlines in 1971, who refused to move its operations to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. After much legal debate, the Wright Amendment was enacted, which restricted the passenger aircraft operations at Dallas Love Field to locations within Texas and neighboring Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. The amendment was then allowed to expire on October 13, 2014. Soon after, Love Field experienced drastic passenger growth and today is the 31st-busiest airport in the country and busiest medium-hub airport, despite its federally mandated cap of 20 gates and barring of international travel. 2018 was the first year that Love Field exceeded 8 million enplaned passengers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about flying private to Dallas.
Yes, private jet flights offer flexible departure times. Operators generally provide a window of 30 minutes to two hours, but this can be extended upon request, provided it doesn't conflict with crew duty limitations or subsequent flight schedules. It's best to confirm this flexibility with your aviation advisor when booking.
Generally, each passenger on a light or midsize private jet can bring one piece of luggage, with each piece weighing up to 23 kilograms (about 50 lbs). However, larger jets, which are often used for longer journeys, typically allow passengers to bring more than one piece of luggage per person to accommodate extended stays.
Yes, all passengers on international private jet flights must go through customs. Certain countries require customs clearance at designated ports of entry. For instance, flights heading to Bora Bora must stop in Tahiti for customs. Similarly, when entering the U.S. from Mexico, passengers must clear customs at the first port of entry.
Crew members must have a minimum of 10 hours of rest within a 24-hour period. Their duty day cannot exceed 14 hours, followed by a rest period at their hotel. Typically, flight operators schedule around 12 hours of rest to accommodate travel time to and from the hotel, ensuring the crew has adequate rest.
A fuel stop usually takes between 45 and 60 minutes. To expedite the process, the flight operator or pilots often notify the fueling service in advance, so a fuel truck is ready upon the jet's arrival. For smaller aircraft, refueling might take as little as 30 minutes.
Yes, on most private jets, luggage can be accessed during the flight because the luggage and passenger areas are on the same level. This contrasts with commercial flights where luggage is stored separately in the cargo hold. On larger private jets, luggage is often stored in an area behind the lavatory, making it accessible during the flight.
Private jet passengers can enjoy a variety of catering options, including local cuisine. While standard snacks and beverages are typically available, meals that do not require cooking can be ordered in advance. Any hot food must be pre-cooked and can only be warmed on board.
Yes, pets are welcome on most private jet flights. It's important to inform the operator in advance, as there may be specific requirements or a small cleaning fee. Ensure that all necessary documentation and vaccination records for your pet are current. For domestic U.S. travel, dogs and cats must be at least eight weeks old and weaned.
