I’ve been in DFW quite a few times and it is pretty amazing and ever-changing. But the nicest airport I’ve been in from a sheer architectural viewpoint and nice to be stuck in for a while is Recife in Brazil.

If you’re even in South America, maybe a side trip through Recife would be something to consider. If you go, you’ll only be about 60 miles from my home in João Pessoa, one of the most beautiful cities in the world and the best climate anywhere.

I fly through Dallas when I am going from New Orleans back home to Kansas City. American has a huge hub here so most AA flights in the south come through here. As long as my layover isn’t long I always head over to terminal D, just because it has the better foods and shops to look around.

Also if your looking for a decent place to crash the tunnels under the airport that connect the terminals rarely have people (the Skytram or whatever its called is another reason Dallas is awesome), and I believe they have power sockets down there.

Haha, but I like making witty retorts about the comment mentioning that expecting to find high quality pictures 24/7 is unrealistic and add that i dislike you as you made a sanrky comment on the unavailability of a digital camera

I fly into and out of DFW every year and it is really good. The only better airport experience I’ve had is a 1-hour layover in… I think it was Chicago. Picked up a really good pizza, an excellent root beer float, and walked around. Was great.

Well, if it was a connecting flight that arrived late then I understand, but they DO tell you to be an hour early to your flight for a reason.

I imagine it’s like a sweaty, scratchy feeling. Not super uncomfortable, but you definitely notice it’s there all the time.

Calm down, defensive Sally. I know you are getting what seems like an inordinate amount of shit for this article, but have you sat down and thought about why that might be? Maybe its because everyone is a hater, or maybe its because this article is a complete mess.

What’s it like hating everything? Does it feel weird?

Aaaah – thanks for bringing back horrible memories. I spent a whopping 8 hours at that airport because of delays. I would have been able to have at least a few hours of exploring fun, however we were told to not leave our gate, and were told for 6 hours that it would only be 30 – 45 more minutes from the current time. I did appreciate the Samsungs though since it was Sunday and during NFL season :)

Janney’s art installation was one of the most impressive pieces found *anywhere*, let alone an airport. So those of you who spent hours simply trying to find a laptop outlet put your computer down for a second and experience a little art. It won’t hurt, in fact, it’s good for you.
The piece has sensors which trigger sounds, and when you walk in certain paths and methods you hear different things. We spent about 1/2 hour in there figuring it all out, or as best we would.

Wow I really liked your article on the DFW airport. My parents live in dallas so twice a year I go to visit them. Funny thing is I have yet to see the music castle that you speak of. Guess I’ll have to keep an eye out for it @_@.

Also I have to agree on the vending machines there. Pretty cool and weird at the same time.

When I went to DFW airport during christmas vacation I saw some people dressed up as elves and santa clause spreading the holiday cheer. They were passing out balloons and juggling as well. I really was amused by that.
I’ve been to quite a few airports and I must say DFW is one of the best.

Have you ever even been to an airport before? This stuff is pretty run of the mill. Next thing you’ll be telling us how amazing all the magic flying cars were.

I’m not a personal fan of the castle thing, I do like this concourse but the other 3 concourses are complete crap

the thing I like to find in airports are hidden out of the way areas to relax away from crowds. you need a sizable layover so you don’t get too comfortable and miss your connection. In Dallas down at one end of the terminal is a lounge – it is next to a Starbucks, but very un-Starbuck-like. Soft couches and chairs, wooden furniture, stone walls, plasma tv. Feels almost like home.
Another great spot is the observation deck at Cleveland airport. Not sure it is still accessible, but it is an empty glass room that no one uses, very quiet.
One of my favorite airports to walk around is LAX – most of the airport is vintage 1960’s, feels like you went through a time machine.

i have actually seen several of those vending machines in the atlanta airport. not the proactive one though. and i think the sony and ipod ones were combined…
