Road signs on Highway 114 inform drivers where the cellphone lot is located before the northbound entrance to DFW International Airport on Nov. 10, 2017. This will allow people to park and wait near the entrance of the airport without incurring parking fees.
DFW International Airport is reopening one of its economy parking lots to customers two years after it closed because of the sudden drop in traffic from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 2,154-spot economy rate lot on the airport’s south side is scheduled to reopen May 1, just as the airport anticipates a huge spike in demand for the upcoming summer travel season.

“We are trying to give customers what they are asking for,” said the airport’s vice president of parking, Dean Ahmad. “Through social media, through phone calls and emails, customers are asking for the remote lots to reopen because they want economy rates back.”
