+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.
