History of Dallas Love Field
Dallas Love Field was commissioned on October 19, 1917, as a training base for the U.S. Army Air Service during World War I. The airport is named for Army Lieutenant Moss Lee Love, who perished during flight training. Lt. Love had no connection to Dallas, but it was the norm at the time to honor Army aviators who perished in flight.
After World War I, Love Field continued as a military air base until the City of Dallas purchased it in 1927, clearing the way for civilian use. Its first paved runways were completed in 1932 and commercial air service grew throughout the 1930s.
The airport played an extensive role for the military once again during the World War II years of the early 1940s and then saw expansive growth as a passenger airport during the post-war boom. By 1965, the airport had new terminals and its second parallel runway.
In 1964, the FAA mandated the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth come to an agreement to build a major airport to serve the entire DFW Metroplex. Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport’s opening in 1974 came on the heels of Love Field’s busiest year to date in 1973 and was meant to effectively end passenger service at Love Field.
The airport saw its slowest year in 1974 and even opened an ice rink and video arcade as the Love Entertainment Complex to maintain revenue. Love Field appeared on its way to closure, but the founding of Southwest Airlines in 1971 continued to breathe life in to Love Field as the fledgling airline refused to move its operations to DFW Airport.
After a lengthy legal battle among multiple parties, the Wright Amendment was instituted to restrict the operations of passenger aircraft at Dallas Love Field to locations within Texas and the neighboring states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and New Mexico.
The stifling regulations of the Wright Amendment remained law until an effort was begun to repeal it in 2005. Certain restrictions were lifted, and the entire Wright Amendment was allowed to expire on October 13, 2014.
Love Field immediately saw drastic passenger growth and today is the 31st-busiest airport in the United States and busiest medium-hub airport despite its federally mandated cap of 20 gates and barring of international travel. In 2018, Love Field surpassed 8 million enplaned passengers for the first time.

Comments
I wanted to say that I am so proud of my wife Rhonda Sears for having the courage to come forward and push for changes that must be made in Texas law to protect ALL victims of child sexual assault. Her work to bring attention to this issue, along with the constant push to Texas lawmakers is doing so much for the many victims of sexual assault who find themselves in a similar situation to her own. I hope and pray that our duly elected lawmakers are paying attention. My wife is not just one woman standing alone in her fight for justice, she is leading a movement to fix lives that are broken.

Love Love Field but the LOUD music is not good, and it seems to be everywhere. Very unpleasant with all the announcing and music. Wish I had ear plugs.
Fast bag curbside check in and fast through security.
People cleaning all over the place.
I am paralyzed and in a manual wheelchair. I am checking two bags and have a driver. In the past we had trouble with the Love Field police letting us park and them helping me get my bags to the baggage. Is this still the case? Is the outside baggage still open? Can my driver park and get my wheelchair and bags out? I fly tomorrow AM.

Lemmon Avenue Terminal looking northwest, early 50's.
COVIDIOTS MASKLESS at baggage carousel 4, approx 11:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 2, on flight 196, Southwest from Phoenix. NO airport security in sight. Went to SW baggage claim assistance office. Asked lady to call for security. STOP enabling COVIDIOTS and DO maintain adequate security. AND, DO NOT let these people in the airport again!!!!!
Wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to two employees at DAL today. We lost my son's blanket in the terminal and didn't realize until 5 hours later. When I returned to the airport to look for it these 2 guys spent 30 minutes looking for it and found it. They went above and beyond and so grateful to them!! Thank you!!!
At approximately 8:00 this morning the City of Dallas removed the Texas Ranger monument from the entry way of Dallas Love Field. The epitome of Law Enforcement, Professionalism, and Texas. The finest Law Enforcement organization on the planet, by far. The cowards of Dallas County elected officials thought it may be offensive to travelers. This is absurd, to accommodate few and their “feelings”. Clay Jenkins, you sir are a disgrace and in my opinion an oxygen thief. Using up good air that is wasted on someone of your spineless disposition. You should, resign immediately. God bless our country, Texas, and the Texas Rangers.
Yesterday my wife and I came to Love Field to catch our return flight home to Atlanta. We were absolutely set back by the rudeness and overbearing attitude of TSA. Mind you now I said we're from Atlanta so we're used to rude people, especially TSA at Hartsfield International. We were completely caught off guard by it as everyone we had met in Texas was friendly and courteous. The attitude and treatment we received at Love Field was something we would have expected in Atlanta. While we had time to ask for a supervisor to air out our complaint, I opted not to as I'm not confident that we'd have gotten more than lip service. Oh well.
