Parking at the airport will cost more, but so will the cost to drive to the airport. NBC 5’s Larry Collins has more.
Starting Wednesday, the price to park at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport will increase, and so will the price to drive through the airport.
DFW Airport is the world’s third busiest airport, and to keep up with the expected growth, it takes money. The airport has over $500 million in roadway and parking upgrades planned over the next few years.
This will mark the third fee increase since 2017, and as of Wednesday, people traveling through the airport will have to dip deeper into their wallets.
The largest increases are for terminal and valet parking, both of which will increase by $5. The price to drive through the airport will go up from $6 to $9 total.
