Terminal B This terminal was called " Terminal 2W " when the airport was opened . It was occupied by Braniff International Airways which was the largest carrier to open DFW in 1974 . Braniff was its main occupant until May 1982 . The Inter-Faith Chapel near United ' s former gates commemorates the airline . American Eagle occupies all gates at Terminal B . AirTran Airways , Frontier Airlines , Midwest Airlines and US Airways ( including the former America West Airlines ) relocated to Terminal E in 2006 . On December 13 , 2009 , United moved to Terminal E to join its new alliance ( and later merger ) partner – Continental . At that point American Eagle became the sole operator in Terminal B . Prior to the opening of Terminal D , all foreign flag carriers operated from this terminal . Along with the TRIP improvements , a new 10-gate stinger concourse off of Terminal B was constructed between gates B28 and B33 to accommodate growth . The stinger concourse makes Terminal B the largest terminal at DFW in terms of number of gates . An American Airlines Admirals Club is located at Gate B3 . Terminal B has 49 gates : B2 – B3 ( FIS optional ), B4 – B29 , B30 – B39 ( North Stinger ), B40 – B49 . Gates B18 – B23 were closed for renovations beginning in March 2016 .
Terminal C
American Airlines operates all the gates at Terminal C , originally called " Terminal 3E ," for only domestic flights . This terminal houses American ' s MD-80s , some 767s , and their A319s . The Hyatt Regency DFW Airport hotel is directly adjacent to this terminal .
A twin hotel building stood across International Parkway , but was demolished for the construction of Terminal D .
Terminal C has not started their TRIP Improvements . Sean Donohue has been in talks with American about the future of Terminal C . They will either destroy once the future Terminal F is finished or they will renovate and keep it for other carriers to use so American and other airliners do not have to give up gate space [ 41 ] An American Airlines Admirals Club is located at Gate C20 . Terminal C has 31 gates : C2 – C4 , C6 – C8 , C10 – C12 , C14 – C17 , C19 – C22 , C24 – C33 , C35 – C37 and C39 .
