As the first airport in the nation to install a moving walkway system, Dallas Love Field (DAL) prides itself on having offered this amenity for decades and intends to continue doing so in efforts to minimize traveler congestion to and from Garages A&B. The moving walkways located inside the pedestrian concourse are the main connection from our Airport terminal to Garages A&B for movement of passengers in a safe and efficient manner.
