Your guide to booking Seattle to Dallas/Fort Worth Airport flights

Get tips on when to book, when to fly and what to know before your trip.
  • If your dates are flexible, aim for a Thursday departure and avoid flying on Sunday. On this route, Thursday flights average $367, about $78 less than Sunday fares (18% savings) based on the last 12 months.
  • For the best chance at a low fare, aim to book around 4 weeks before you fly. On this route, that window historically saves about 33% versus last-minute pricing (KAYAK booking data, last 12 months).
  • If you can choose when to travel, plan your Seattle to Dallas/Fort Worth Airport trip for January. Fares historically average $284 round-trip in that month - typically $183 less than the most expensive month, which is July (based on the last 12 months).
  • For the best chance of arriving on time, fly with Alaska Airlines. Over the past three months, 89% of Alaska Airlines flights from Seattle to Dallas/Fort Worth Airport arrived on time, slightly above the route average of 87%. When flights on this route arrive late, they're delayed by an average of 2h 22m, so choosing an airline with strong on-time performance can make a difference if you're on a tight schedule.
  • If you have the time, taking a 1-stop flight through Phoenix Sky Harbor Intl Airport (PHX) can be cheaper than flying direct. The cheapest layover option averages $211 round-trip on this route - about $192 less than direct flights (based on the last 12 months).
  • If you have an early flight and want to stay overnight at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), the Red Lion Hotel Seattle Airport Sea-Tac, the Radisson Hotel Seattle Airport, and the Hilton Seattle Airport and Conference Center are the three closest hotels and they all offer free airport shuttles.
  • To get a discount on long-term parking at the SEA airport, you can book a parking spot in the SEA on-site garage online. Floor 4 of the parking garage has the shortest walk to the terminal, so its parking rates are slightly higher than the other floors.
  • To get to the SEA airport from the Seattle city center on public transit, you can take the light rail #1 line from various locations throughout Seattle to the Light Rail Station near the fourth floor of the SEA parking garage.
  • The spa, Be Relax, in terminals B and D of the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) are great places to relax and get the kinks out before you leave the airport and head into The Big D. The spa offers various massages, aromatherapy, facials, manicures, and pedicures. In Terminal C, there is a spa called Spa Here that you can enjoy.
  • If you are traveling with a pet or service animal that needs to go as soon as you land, take advantage of DFW’s animal relief areas; there is one in each terminal. The areas can be located at gates A29, B28, D18, and E31.
