Thanksgiving 2026 · DFW & Love Field
Flying out for Thanksgiving or picking up family? Book a black SUV with a professional chauffeur at a fixed price, from $120 one-way, the same as any other week. We track every flight, and your chauffeur texts you when you land.
Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 26. For Thanksgiving 2025, DFW Airport expected about 3 million travelers over 13 days, with the Friday before, the Wednesday before and the weekend after as its peak days. The busiest of all was the Sunday after Thanksgiving, at about 269,000 travelers.
If this year follows the same pattern, the days to plan around are Friday, November 20, Wednesday, November 25, and Saturday and Sunday, November 28 and 29. Thanksgiving Day itself is usually the quietest day to fly.
DFW asks holiday travelers to allow 60 to 90 minutes more than usual and to reach the airport at least 2 hours before a domestic flight and 3 hours before an international one. We plan your pickup time around that, with extra time for holiday traffic on the way.
On peak days the roads into DFW's terminals from the north and the curbs back up, and Terminal C is extra busy with construction. If you fly American, you can check in and go through security at any terminal and take the Skylink train to your gate. Your chauffeur drops you right at the departures curb, so nobody has to park or walk from a garage.
Picking up relatives yourself at DFW over Thanksgiving means waiting in a cell phone lot or a garage, because the curbs are for active loading only and traffic into the terminals backs up on peak days. Send a chauffeur instead. Add the flight number when you book: we follow the flight, wait for delays and text your guests where to meet. Meet-and-greet in baggage claim is available on request.
Each SUV seats up to 5 guests with their luggage. For a bigger family, book a second SUV for the same flight. Traveling with small children? Tell us when you book so we can talk about car seats.
One-way prices are fixed by driving distance and stay the same over Thanksgiving, with no surge on the busiest days. You see the price before you book. Chauffeur tip and tolls are not included. Your exact address and terminal can move a trip into the next price band, so enter both in the booking form on this page.

The Dallas YMCA Turkey Trot starts at City Hall on Thanksgiving morning, so expect closed streets downtown that morning. If your pickup is nearby, your chauffeur texts you a meeting spot outside the closures.
In the afternoon the Cowboys host the Philadelphia Eagles at AT&T Stadium, with kickoff at 3:30 PM, and that evening Prairie Lights opens its 2026 season in Grand Prairie. We drive to both. Hourly service from $199 for 2 hours also covers dinner with family across town, with the car waiting to take you home.
No. One-way airport prices are fixed by distance, from $120, and stay the same on the busiest travel days. Chauffeur tip and tolls are not included.
Yes. We drive every day of Thanksgiving week, including Thanksgiving Day.
Going by last year's pattern: the Friday and Wednesday before Thanksgiving (November 20 and 25 in 2026) and the weekend after, with Sunday, November 29 likely the busiest. Allow 60 to 90 minutes more than usual on those days.
Yes. Book with their flight number. We track the flight, wait for delays and text them where to meet, at the curb or in baggage claim with meet-and-greet.
As soon as your flights are set. We are a small company with three SUVs, and the days before and after Thanksgiving fill up first.
