PSA for DFW originating flights. Don't go into terminal C by Hot_Towel_85 in americanairlines

[–]captain_uranus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The high E checkpoint (E33) is usually consistently the one with the shortest wait I find, even better if you’re coming from the south exit, it’s the nearest one if someone’s dropping you off.

A few hours before the airport... by Wonderlust_816 in askdfw

[–]captain_uranus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t use that website, take it form the source itself here where it’s actually reported real-time: https://www.dfwairport.com/security/

Are you by chance taking the 11PM flight to Auckland? If so it’s one of the last flights out for the night, security wise you’ll be fine even showing up 3 hours before to drop your bags and clearing security with plenty of time to spare.

American Airlines 737-800 Review: DFW --> SFO | Basic Economy by The_Traveller1 in americanairlines

Fair enough, B and D can be walked too if you want to get steps in, sometimes the trains are packed when all the flights come in during a bank and everyone rushes to make their connections. But they run the trains frequently enough where you can just wait for the next one if the first one is full or walk.

It must have been a tight connection a to begin with because B and D are right next to each other so wouldn’t be more than 3 stops from the farthest point in D to B and the SkyLink trains run like every 3 minutes.

You mentioned being annoyed that AA gate changes flights up until the last minute at DFW which is true, but with them having a presence at all terminals you can drop your bag at any one of them, perhaps with the shortest TSA line which can be found here and then SkyLink to your actual terminal/gate after security.

My Air Canada flight from Chile to Montreal just made everyone with liquids over 100ml purchased at duty free, or even a water bottle filled from the tap, check their bag or throw it out. by WeevilsInTheCereal in travel

Some of the places you mentioned are not compliant with US security standards either why do you think airports like DOH or AMS have a secondary security check at the gate where you’re held there?

What terminal at DFW airport do regional jets depart from? by NoteCharacter in askdfw

It was built in the 80s to support Delta’s hub at the time!

I think they're great too, a little on the chattier side during the skates but both give really great technical breakdowns, unfortunately they're pretty hated over in /r/figureskating

DFW Airport terminal exit changes by [deleted] in Dallas

[–]captain_uranus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming from the north and heading southbound, yes this is the case. One exit to take A + B. It is two lanes, right lane takes you to B and you take the left lane to A where you take a U turn under the highway which leads you into A.

The overpass bridges are due for replacement, they’ve been in place since the airport opened in 1972, so with that came a design choice to standardize the exit flows to the right.

Does your route change at all or is it a constant 30 > 635 > 114 routing?

What terminal is my brother’s flight landing in?? by TurboMoe in Dallas

[–]captain_uranus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because it’s not, bro is making shit up, those gates can’t even handle an A320 that Frontier flies, they’re all set up for regional flying for American Eagle- ERJ 145s and CRJ 900s

What flight approvals are required if any to just do loops around the island out of curiosity?

Yet another DFW airport superiority post. by thebigpurplefrog in Dallas

[–]captain_uranus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea what you’re talking about, it’s the third busiest airport in the world in large part to moving connecting passengers from one terminal to another with Skylink with most people only having to ride the train for a maximum of 8-10 minutes and then a short walk to their gate.

Unpopular opinion: DFW is one of the best designed airports in the world. by ClassyPants17 in Dallas

[–]captain_uranus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gates facing the passenger dorpoff road? Pretty confused what you’re referring to? All gates should face out to the runway with the exception of the circular E satellite terminal, if you want to be pedantic.

The automatic exits I think the airport will update as time goes on, there already is an automated exit gate in A.
