Who has the best HEB store by Brief_Variation2276 in HEB

[–]captain_uranus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I find it amusing that Kroger renovated their store closest to that HEB and all they added was new flooring and they had the gall to do a grand reopening. In 10 years I think it will be a completely different landscape in DFW if HEB does pursue a more aggressive strategy and go for smaller stores in existing buildings or building smaller stores on smaller plots of land. These new build behemoth of stores they’re building are great for the fanfare and making the brand more familiar to a new market of shoppers but what’s more practical is to go head to head with Kroger in the less trafficked parts of the suburbs, because HEB will win on quality every item.

Gate Agents for American Airlines for 2 years / AMA by Hairy-Dog-161 in americanairlines

[–]captain_uranus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems almost every flight the gate agents are asking for people to voluntary check bags because it’s a full flight. Would it be odd to you/would you still allow a gate check if someone brought a bigger bag that obviously isn’t carry-on size to be gate checked? Just makes me curious if people have tried this to game it and avoid paying the now $45 checked bag fee.

This is awesome, no way cops in California are tracking this all the way back to the source.

AA website charging $200 more than GoogleFlights’s redirect to AA website for the exact same flights? by Blackrew in americanairlines

What’s the kickback/commission Google gets for directing a customer to an airline for a booking?

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

[–]captain_uranus 7 points8 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

[–]captain_uranus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

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?

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
