Love, since it so easy and manageable. Of course, DFW for international flights.

Love Love, but they seriously need to improve their website! One of the things I like about it is the ease of access for people needing wheelchairs. You can just grab one right there at the open-air check-in area. At DFW, not so easy, depending on the terminal, airline, etc. TSA seems to be much more efficient at Love also, but that could be random.

Wow, Love is dominating the poll so far. 70%-30% is a huge gap.

So I guess the follow-up question would be what, if anything, could DFW do to narrow the gap in terms of people's preferences? Are there major flaws to DFW that need to be fixed, or is it more so a case of Love just doing that many things right?

I live in Dallas. Love is 12-15 minutes in most traffic conditions. DFW is a nightmare to get to, even though I live south and west of downtown and compared with most other large city airports it is easy to get to. Love is also more compact and quick to get from drop off to the terminal.
For me to vote DFW, it would have to relocate itself to somewhere closer than Love Field to where I live. I don't even especially love flying Southwest. I just prefer a shorter commute to the airport.

It's hard to compare the two. Love Field is small and close for those of us who live in Dallas. It's more manageable, easier to get around. But that doesn't mean a thing if you are flying overseas. DFW is a gigantic international airport and a hub. Comparing apples to oranges.

Are we the only ones who have been trapped in the nightmare that is the Terminal A Parking Garage at DFW? They could start by fixing the signage in there! Right up there with IKEA in trying to find the exit.

I'd much rather fly Southwest and out of Love Field for domestic flights. Southwest has the best customer service and Love Field is easier to navigate than larger airports like DFW.

I will go with DFW. I like its convenience and ease of use to get around in. I have seen O'Hare, LAX and JFK and I didnt care for any of them. DFW makes sense and once you are out of the terminal there is your parking. You dont have to walk a whole to like the other airports.

For its size and the number of terminals DFW is one of the best airports in US both for accessibility as well as ease of use.
