DALLAS (AP) - Travelers heading for airports in the Dallas-Fort Worth area have more options for holiday parking or catching a train.

Dallas Area Rapid Transit on Monday advertised its Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport light rail service with a pitch called "DART to Loved Ones." The website reminds travelers that the Orange Line opened earlier this year connecting downtown Dallas to DFW airport.

The DFW airport website shows parking availability, costs and locations.

Dallas Love Field has more travel options since restrictions against long-haul flights expired in October, attracting more passengers.

The parking garage and nearby privately run lots have about 9,000 slots, but ran out of space during Thanksgiving. Love Field since then has added about 1,000 spaces by switching some employee parking to a remote lot, plus additional valet parking.
