"Dallas is very accommodating to airport sleepers. Ask any of the workers for a cot/blanket/pillow and they will provide you with them." - kdahl
"the noisy frequent announcement (after half year, I still remember what he said 'the security level is orange'). My night at DTW ended up sleepless." - zackbupt
"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
Recent Review
by kdahl
I recently spent two nights in the DFW. Both were more than 8 hours. The Dallas Fort Worth airport is huge and there are many areas in which to get some sleep. However, terminal B was definitely the best place to be at night. It's quieter with no music or announcements and there don't seem to be any flights using that terminal from about 9PM-5AM. There are, however, cleaning crews that come around and can be pretty annoying- but it's not unexpected.
There's an area by B1 next to the kids play area that is pretty nice for sleeping. There are 4-5 large black leather recliners available. There's also a full sized leather sofa. The downside to this area is there there are no power outlets. Also, if you're there on a night they're buffing the floors, you'll have at least an hour of pretty loud noise to deal with.
If you keep walking down the B terminal, around B25 there's area called 'Get Comfy' or something like that. It has a variety of large soft chairs and a few sort of day bad like beds (curved shape, not so nice if you're not a back sleeper). This area was fine to sleep in in terms of noise. There were two power outlets along the wall.
Just past that, if you take a left at the Starbucks, there's a room with TVs and comfortable chairs. The chairs aren't suitable for sleeping, though. There are a TON of power outlets in the room. I don't think you can adjust the TV's away from CNN.
Dallas is very accommodating to airport sleepers. Ask any of the workers for a cot/blanket/pillow and they will provide you with them. I found the cots really uncomfortable in comparison to the recliners, but that's just me. They're your standard coleman cots.
