Dallas-Fort Worth Airport
Lasting Impressions....
"The airport staff also have cots and blankets for the "refugees" of the severe thunderstorms that often strand hundreds (sometimes thousands) of passengers overnight in this airport." (Ben Starr)
"when the cleaning staff saw me one nice lady went to a gate and brought me a cot!" (Felecia)
Good times

If you are ever at DFW you must jump on the SkyLink and head over to Terminal D. Terminal D has fantastic restaurants, both fast food and sit down. Great shopping such as Brooks Brothers and Apple. Well designed, bright, airy, open and clean. A must do if stuck at DFW.
Not a bad place, but not great either

I got into DFW at midnite planning to sleep there till my 8 AM flight. I wandered around, and saw very few other people asleep. Luckily, I found a cot and blanket in a gate area and found a nice corner where CNN was not blasting too loud.
Every 10-15 minutes, there are annoying automated announcements, and the airport got very cold. Sometime around 5, a worker brought me another blanket, which really surprised me in a good way. In Terminal A, there was a free internet terminal.
Overall, safe place to sleep. Don't expect very much sleep unless you can sleep through loud, constant announcements.
Um, you may want to rethink sleeping in this place
by Emily Katz) "noise noise noise, constant TRAMM action, as well as hundreds of people tromping all over wherever you're trying to sleep. I was in Dallas at 4:00 am, with no sleep since several days earlier. there was NO food available to me, no newspaper stands. the only thing that passed for entertainment was piped in airport-CNN, which repeated every 10 minutes. this did not make my voyage a pleasant one. when I tried to freshen up in one of the bathrooms, I found every horizontal surface coated with a thick layer of soap, water and hairspray. yuck...all my luggage smelled of hairspray and bleach for the remainder of the trip, and everything I owned was soaked when the cleaning staff sprayed my duffel by mistake."
