Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and Coca-Cola® Surprise Travelers with Holiday Cheer

DFW AIRPORT, Texas, Dec. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW) Airport and Coca-Cola are partnering to bring holiday cheer to seasonal travelers. On specific dates this month, the Coca-Cola Polar Bear – hidden in giant gift boxes – will be surprising passengers in Terminals A and D with free Coca-Cola products, plush Coca-Cola Bears and other gifts.

"We are expecting more than three million customers during this holiday season," said Ken Buchanan, DFW Airport's executive vice president of Revenue Management. "Thanks to Coca-Cola and all of our partners our customers of all ages can participate in some holiday festivities before heading on to their holiday destinations."

Moments with the Coca-Cola Polar Bear will be sharable through social media. Airport customers are encouraged to take a photo with the Bears and tag them with #DFWHoliday and @dfwairport.

In addition to the customer surprise-and-delights, DFW and Coca-Cola will be showing support of military members by providing free Coca-Cola products to military service men and women departing between December 18 to December 20.

"The holiday season is near and dear to all of us at Coca-Cola, and we're thrilled to be spreading some cheer to the millions of passengers traveling through DFW Airport during the month of December," said Robert Sweeney, vice president and general manager, Dallas Market Unit, Coca-Cola.

This is not the first time DFW Airport has teamed up with Coca-Cola for a customer engagement campaign. In July, Coca-Cola brought its Share a Coke and a Song Zone to the Airport as part of the company's "Share a Coke" summer campaign.

"Holiday memories can be made anywhere, even in an airport terminal," Sweeney said. "This season, we hope to be a part of some of the memories created at DFW Airport."
