Middle East
Three Middle East destinations covering major Gulf and regional hubs.
From DFW
- Amman, Jordan (AMM) — Royal Jordanian
- Doha, Qatar (DOH) — Qatar Airways
- Dubai, UAE (DXB) — Emirates
|
✈ Nonrev Note All three are single-carrier routes. Royal Jordanian (Amman) is a oneworld member — useful for onward connections into the Middle East and beyond. Qatar Airways and Emirates both fly wide-body long-haul equipment with manageable economy loads on off-peak dates. Verify ZED agreements with all three before planning. |
Asia
Six Asian destinations with strong coverage on the Tokyo routes and key connections to Taipei, Seoul, Hong Kong, and Shanghai.

For the Asia strategy, see the Asia Non-Rev Playbook. |
Oceania
Three Oceania destinations — including two Australian cities and Fiji — making DFW one of the few inland U.S. airports with direct Pacific service.
From DFW
- Melbourne, Australia (MEL) — Qantas
- Nadi, Fiji (NAN) — Fiji Airways
- Sydney, Australia (SYD) — Qantas
|
✈ Nonrev Note Qantas to Sydney and Melbourne are ultra-long-haul routes (~17 hours to SYD) — build significant return buffer days into any Australia trip and avoid peak Australian summer (December–February). Both are Qantas only; verify your ZED interline agreement. Fiji Airways to Nadi is a unique route — one of the only U.S. nonstops to Fiji outside of the West Coast. Verify your Fiji Airways ZED agreement before planning. |
The Caribbean
Eight Caribbean destinations, with multi-carrier options on the most popular leisure routes.
From DFW
- Aruba (AUA) — American

- Montego Bay, Jamaica (MBJ) — American

San Salvador also has three carriers (American, Avianca, Volaris El Salvador) — verify ZED access with Volaris El Salvador as a newer operator. Avianca is Star Alliance throughout. Note Comayagua (XPL) is Palmerola International Airport serving the central Honduras region. Two Honduras cities (Comayagua + Roatán) is unusual for an inland U.S. hub. |
South America
Five South American destinations covering the major markets.
From DFW
- Bogotá, Colombia (BOG) — American, Avianca
- Buenos Aires, Argentina (EZE) — American
- Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (GIG) — American
- Santiago, Chile (SCL) — American
