Dallas Fort Worth tracks 25 destinations split almost evenly between domestic (9) and international (16), and the two halves look completely different. All 9 domestic U.S. routes carry a verified historical direct-service record, while only 6 of the 16 international routes do. Overall, that's 15 of 25 — 60% — verified.
This is the profile of a genuine domestic fortress hub with a much thinner long-haul international footprint on record. American Airlines' short-haul network to Atlanta, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, New York and the rest of DFW's domestic destinations is fully verified, and four of five short-haul Canadian routes are too. But of DFW's 11 long-haul pairs — six UK cities and five Australian cities — only London Heathrow and Brisbane show a verified record. That lines up with American's actual long-haul route history rather than suggesting DFW lacks broader UK or Australian connectivity through partners and connections.
All nine of DFW's tracked domestic routes — Atlanta, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, Newark, New York JFK, San Francisco, Boston and Seattle — carry a verified historical direct-service record, most with multiple competing carriers including American Airlines, Delta and United.

DFW's 16 international routes split into three groups: five short-haul Canadian cities (four of five verified), six UK cities where only London Heathrow is verified, and five Australian cities where only Brisbane is verified. The unverified UK and Australian pairs are still real, bookable itineraries, just not nonstop ones on this record.

15 of DFW's 25 tracked routes carry a verified historical operating record, and the pattern is worth reading by category: domestic is essentially complete, while international long-haul is limited to two flagship routes, London Heathrow and Brisbane.
OpenFlights' historical route dataset records 10 carriers operating this city pair, flying Airbus A320, M80, M88 and other types. It's the best-served pair in Dallas-Fort Worth's whole tracked network — still confirm current-day operation and schedule in your GDS before quoting, since this dataset reflects historical service, not a live timetable.

Replace xxx with the destination's own 3-letter IATA code from the tables above — the availability-check syntax itself doesn't change by destination, only the city pair does.
