North Texas airfares down dramatically since Wright Amendment ended
A $63 round-trip fare to Denver on Frontier Airlines. A $106 round trip to Miami on American Airlines. A $140 round trip to Chicago on Southwest Airlines.
These are some of the cheap airfares available to North Texas travelers looking to travel out of Dallas/Fort Worth Airport or Dallas Love Field over the next few weeks.
The great deals are indicative of how the cost of flying out of North Texas has come down dramatically since the Wright Amendment restrictions were eliminated in late 2014. But other factors are also contributing to the best airfares in years.
According to government data released this month, average fares at Love Field dropped 6.5 percent in the second quarter of 2015, compared with the same period of 2014, as Southwest Airlines added nonstop routes and flights. To compete, American Airlines and other carriers lowered their prices at DFW Airport, driving average airfares down at the region’s major airport by 6 percent during the period.
