As soon as October, people with some extra cash will have the option of curbside valet service at the nation's second busiest airport. If it takes off, the valet service will be expanded to other terminals in the airport. The service will allow a traveler to leave his car and keys at the curb with an attendant, who will have the car back to the curb within six minutes of the passenger's return. The idea didn't last in the mid-'80s when an industry wide bust killed the American Airlines subsidized valet service. DFW officials think current travelers would be more open to supporting the service, which is being tried out at crowded airports throughout the country.
Officials say customers are willing to pay the extra dough to avoid tram and shuttle buses.
