This new commitment to an expanded terminal F signals real planned growth in Dallas for American, and planned widebody and international growth as well. I had been quite negative on the project, but I think this plan turns me around and gets me a bit excited about growth opportunities.
There are currently no Westbound transatlantic redeyes – overnight flights from Europe to the U.S.. That changes this winter, as Iberia re-times its Madrid – Dallas flight.
The best airport hotels in the United States are the Grand Hyatt SFO, Grand Hyatt DFW, Westin Denver and Hyatt Regency Orlando Airport. Other notables include the Westin Detroit, Intercontinental Minneapolis, Hilton O’Hare and Hilton Boston Logan.
A naked woman ran through Dallas – Fort Worth airport’s terminal D. She yelled at no one in particular, and made rather strange claims like “I speak all languages.” She tosses a beverage. Then she attacked the monitor and boarding door of gate D4. Here’s the full 2 minute 16 second video.
DFW is sometimes derided as standing for ‘Doesn’t Function Wet’ considering the operational challenges it seems to face whenever it rains. But the airport clearly doesn’t function icy, either. And American and airport leaders indirectly traded barbs at each other over its issues on Thursday.
Dallas-based right wing YouTube personality Alex Stein walked through the E concourse of Dallas – Fort Worth airport wearing a clown-sized Make America Great Again hat and filming his interactions with other passengers, before boarding his Spirit Airlines flight to Las Vegas with the hat on.
American Airlines had several terrible days operationally last week as they battled storms around Dallas and ran low on reserve crew.
On Sunday night an American Airlines passenger, stuck on the ground on a plane in Dallas for three hours, reports being forced “to dial 911 for someone to help us get off [the] plane.”
A severely drunk 23 year old American Airlines first class passenger threatened flight attendants, assaulted them and threw her luggage at them on a flight to Dallas. Police responded to the gate on arrival at DFW airport. The passenger told officers that she was the one mistreated, though, and that American’s cabin crew were harsh with her.
With plenty of time, I went straight to the D terminal which has the best lounges. My first stop was the American Express Centurion lounge across from gate D12. I saw a line to get in.
The airline’s founding was all about its refusal to fly out of DFW airport. Their intra-Texas model depended on short commutes to the airport. The DFW Metroplex has evolved substantially over the past 50 years, and Dallas – Fort Worth it itself a closer airport to much of the population.
And Southwest can’t grow at Love Field anymore, in part because no one can given the reduction in gates there that handed the carrier a near-monopoly. So DFW growth now makes sense, and they’re likely to jump in just as soon as they’re able.
