Dallas-Fort Worth Airport
Lasting Impressions....
"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)

A few airport reviews from the archives

Terminal B!!!! I think it's right after Gate B-27.. or somewhere around that area. There is a lounge which has reclined chairs and big cushioned ones as well. It's there for resting/sleeping. It's a popular little place so sometimes it's full but it shouldn't be if you are there in the early morning.
The only thing is that it's really bright. I found a blanket and covered my head with it which worked well, and it also kept me warm enough. Bring a sleep mask :]

"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."
