Getting to your terminal

Our view

Who it suits: A late arrival from Australia, an early flight, or a family that does not want a transfer.
Why we would choose it: It is inside Terminal D, so Qantas arrivals are close to a bed and nothing has to run before your flight.
The compromise: It is before security, so you clear security again in the morning, and it is the dearest hotel at DFW.
Worth paying more?: Yes after a long-haul flight or with children. Not for a connection of a few hours.

The practical details that matter for one night before or after a flight.
