And, if you factor in the DAL area disadvantage that the major North-South alternate to Mockingbird--Inwood Road--has been chopped down to bedrock almost across all 4 lanes from Maple to Lemmon Avenue as they begin re-paving (actually, re-building) Inwood, it makes the traffic situation in the DAL area that much worse.With the new tollways and upgrades to other freeways around DFW, I'd wager the convenience factor is less of an advantage than it was 15 years ago. Someone from Plano or McKinney can probably be at DFW just as easily as they can be at DAL. The city has invested very little in Mockingbird Lane (four lane arterial with stoplights), and it's a mile either way from I-35 or the Tollway. It might add up to a savings of 10-15 minutes driving, hardly enough to make a huge difference for those already driving for 40 minutes, and personally, I'd rather just be on the freeway the whole way and not have to mess around with side streets.
Why is it any more favorable than LGA is to JFK?WorldTraveler said:DAL is a more favorable airport to DFW than any other secondary airport is to the primary airport in another city and that is precisely why WN wants as much of its as possible - and itself to avoid competing with AA.
