==Facilities and Transportation==
To get to any spotting locations you'll have to drive.  Cabs are available but the minimum charge for a cab is $12.  I've rented a car for as cheap as $16, so it's worth it to get a deal on a rental.
The only other good location is the Skylink train, which is inside security.  It makes a full loop 50' above the ramp.  This train has great views, and if you have about 15 minutes, it's well worth the ride to see all the terminals at DFW.
If you like the view from there, you can get off at Terminal D and go to "The Club at DFW."  This is a lounge run  by Priority Pass, but they have a "pay per visit" fee and there's a coupon in "DFW People" magazine for like $25 per access.  This magazine is located throughout the airport and in the parking ares too.  It has a view of gates D20-D30, including lots of AA heavies, and it facing runways 18R and 18L with a view of the cargo area and AA hangar areas too.  It's a great view if you have money to burn!  They have snacks and drinks for the thirsty spotter.
Outside the airport is the Airport Westin on Highway 114.  It is on short final to runway 17L and has a swimming pool area on top of the hotel.  It's a great view.  The area you are looking at from there incidentally is the area that the Delta L1011 crashed.
