Dallas Fort Worth Airport is situated in the United States of America, virtually equidistant from both the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth. It is one of the largest airports in the world, as it is ranked as the eighth busiest in terms of passenger traffic, and the third busiest in terms of aircraft movements. Over 69 million passengers pass through the airport each year. Dallas-Fort Worth Airport is also a main hub for airline carriers such as American Eagle and American Airlines. Although the trains and buses from the airport are less expensive, many passengers like to hire a taxi. There are plenty of taxis from a variety of taxi companies available nearby the terminals.

Dallas Airport consists of five terminal buildings, all of which are semi-circular in shape except for Terminal D. Passengers are able to transfer between the terminals by way of the blue and green vans, or shuttle buses, and by the Skylink, which is a high-speed airport train. The Skylink at Dallas Airport is actually the largest airport people mover system in the world. The train is available every two minutes, and it has an average travelling time of five minutes. Once passengers have collected their baggage they can leave the airport by way of their own car, rented car, bus, train or taxi.

Passengers find the taxi services at Dallas-Fort Worth Airport to be more convenient than trains and buses for many reasons. A taxi is able to take you directly to the curbside of your residence, hotel or place of business, and depending on traffic, the journey is usually quick and hassle-free. A bus, on the other hand, will need to stop at various locations on the way to its main destination, and once arriving, you may still be quite far from where you need to go. You may need to transfer to another bus or two in order to get nearer to your destination. Passengers with heavier luggage loads, and/or small children may also prefer to simply use a taxi, as it may not be that easy to travel with the family and luggage on buses or trains. Taxis are also used by business professionals, as they are faster, and offer a more private journey.
