Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport aka: DFW

There’s less chance of getting stuck here, than in ORD, so DFW it is.

Plus that cool jazzy neon walkway?

Don’t look in either Dallas or Fort Worth. Despite its name, it is located in neither, but rather between the two in the city of Euless.

Were it not for DFW I would never have met my husband.

I am a Brit and he is a Texan. He met me at the airport with a pink rose (my favorite plus was my icon in the chat room in which we met) and we knew this was the real thing instantly. That was over 3 1/2 years ago now and he shows no signs in wanting me back on a ‘plane to UK… yet! Lol So I have a certain fondness for DFW airport.

As for the airport itself I thought it was easy to navigate, far more so than Heathrow or Gatwick airports in UK. Although UK airports have smoking area which I like given it takes about 10 hours to fly direct to DFW, never mind having to hang about in departures for a couple of hours! Although UK beats duty-free stores for variety of goods handsdown over American ones I have been to.

I have a theory about anti-Texas sentiment: it’s Dallas’ fault.

I adore Texas. I’m a Houstonian, born and raised. I love the Hill Country. I’ve listened to Buddy Holly in Lubbock. I get all choked up every time I leave Orange and cross into Louisiana. But I hate Dallas with every fiber of my being for reasons I can’t fully explain.

If Dallas embodies the stereotypical Texan attitude – big hair, big cowboy hats, people flaunting their wealth – then DFW embodies Dallas.

It’s huge, it takes forever to get anywhere, and there are about six billion stores. It’s more like a mall than an airport, and I just find that completely ridiculous.

way too many people, id almost bet that there were more people in that airport then there are in my whole town.
