more cost effective ways to get

you take. The Dallas metro area
is broken down into several neighborhoods.
Downtown, East Dallas, Lake Highlands,
North Dallas, Northwest Dallas,
Oak Cliff, Oak Lawn, The Cedars,
Uptown, Highland Park and University
Park, the "Park Cities",
West Dallas, Addison, Arlington,
Irving, former home of the Dallas
Cowboys' Stadium, Carrollton and
Lewisville, and Grapevine.

Dallas. It is home to the famous
Sixth Floor Museum, where Lee
Havey Oswald allegedly fired the
shots that killed JFL and the
Dallas Zoo. You can visit the

Convention Center while you

DFW History
The DFW Airport opened to traffic a few
minutes past midnight on January 13, 1974,
but aviation has a rich history in Dallas
prior to that time. In 1928, Dallas purchased
Love Field from the U.S. Army for $325,000
and transformed the 3,250 acres and old
wartime buildings into its own municipal
airport, and in 1953, the Fort Worths
Greater Southwest International Airport
opened in Northeast Tarrant County.
However in the 1960s, the Civil Aeronautics
Board issued a finding that neither Love
Field nor Greater Southwest International
Airport suitable for future needs and ordered
Dallas and Fort Worth to find a new site.
The dedication of the Dallas/Fort Worth
Regional Airport was attended by 200,000
people and included the first US landing
of the supersonic Concorde. In just three
months after opening, DFW Airport averaged
18,000 passengers per day and American Airlines
announced plans to move its corporate headquarters
from New York to Fort Worth, adjacent to
DFW Airport.
By 1992, annual traffic surpassed 50 million
for the first time and by the late 90s DFW
became the fastest-growing gateway to Latin
America and nonstop routes were established
to Mexico and South America, providing DFW
with a wide range of choices for international
travel.
