    They are adding some new gates to terminal A and there is construction. Still, it is easy to navigate and I much prefer this to terminal C. Security is always so much easier to get through, no matter which entrance you come in. There are tons of shopping and dining options still up and running and it just generally seems more spacious.

    This is the very first time that I have ever had a bad experience at this airport. Unfortunately, the way the airport is laid out. The terminals are spread so far apart that you do have to take the skylink to go from terminal to terminal unfortunately, on this day, only one sky link was running, so that meant everyone was bombarded in one train. We were packed like sardines. People are getting pushed smashed, and some were even cursed by other individuals. The train was extremely hot, and I truly believe that we were over fire limit.

    The American Airlines Terminal A at Dallas Ft Worth is a decent travel experience. The security was very well staffed and a quick in and out. There are shops (mostly high end) and enough restaurant selections (could be more) to enjoy while you're waiting. The terminal seemed to be fairly new and was very clean. I also like that were many places to charge electronics while waiting that included the seating at your gate. Well thought out and planned.

    My American flight in Dallas landed at Terminal A and also departed from Terminal A, which I appreciated. It is always nice when you do not have to switch terminals and take trains or buses in between flights. I was able to go from the gate area to the Admirals Club in Terminal A and then back to my gate without any complications. Everything was centrally located and easy to navigate. For keeping things simple and efficient this time, I am giving American Airlines at Terminal A 4 stars.

    Legitimately one of my least favorite airports/terminals in the country, aside from perhaps Terminals 4 & 5 at LAX! I'll give them this much - it's usually very clean throughout the terminal for the most part, at the very least. And the Skylink tram between terminals is usually on-time and efficient. These are the only reasons I gave them an extra star - because other than this, I honestly do not like just about everything when it comes to DFW terminals...especially Terminal A! The way everything in here is designed just leads to SO many headaches....from the endless long looping layout with sparse restrooms and other facilities throughout that lead to you having to walk for several minutes in order to find ANYTHING...to the lack of seating and charging outlets at all of the gates.. I DO NOT like Terminal A! Whoever designed these terminals...I'd like to have a word with them! I mean...seriously? Were you TRYING to make the most poorly designed layout you possibly could for an airport terminal?! I get annoyed every time I have a layover in DFW and have to go through this terminal. Seriously. Anyways, let me wrap this up by reiterating that Terminal A is a poorly designed set-up at a poorly designed airport....if possible avoid (although I know you usually don't have a choice)!

    We departed from Terminal A for a Christmas vacation to Mexico. Terminal A is not as nice as Terminal D. There are fewer seats, fewer charging stations, and fewer restaurants. I know we can't control which terminal we leave from, but I much prefer D.

    “. That said, there were plenty of food options in this airport, including a TGI Fridays in one terminal where they guarantee diners will be in and out in 30 minutes.”

    I haven't flown with American Airlines in a few years and I only did so this time because I didn't…read morewant to lose my points. The only benefit for my trip was slightly better flight times with American compared to Southwest which was a lot cheaper. But both of my flights leaving DFW this weekend were delayed due to mechanical issues with the planes. So I ended up paying more and arrived late. I missed an appointment in my destination city due to the first delay. On the first flight a rowdy group of college kids were bothering everyone but they would not quiet down even after being asked by other passengers. The flight crew didn't care and didn't do anyhting so these self-absorbed kids were treating the plane like their own private party bus. It's one thing to be inconsiderate of other people around you, but it's entirely different when you choose to be an asshole. The gate for my second flight abruptly changed and I was not notified by the airline. I was waiting at what I thought was my gate and only noticed the change when a different flight was suddenly assigned to this gate. I had to go from B terminal to C terminal in a hurry because my flight started boarding in a few minutes. When I got to the new gate the agent did not care about line procedure so he was like "ok everyone in groups 1-3 line up" and then it was a mad scramble with people complaining that people in group 3 were getting ahead of people in group 1 and other people not caring because the agent said everyone in the three groups could line up. Then the agent did the same thing for groups 4-6. Then we just sat at the gate for another half hour with no explanation before finally taking off.

    So interesting, my past review shows loyalty to UA. Funny how things change. Now, I only fly…read moreAmerican. I've only had one issue with multiple delays for the same flight during bad weather, but they compensated me quickly, and it was done fairly. I didn't have to fuss my way into getting it done. I love the option to upgrade to First with a discount; you have to be patient and do it at the right time, and I love it. My next trip is 7 hours, yikes! First Class, here I come. On my last flight, we had chicken sausage w/ biscuits and gravy. It was delicious; I was really surprised. American Airlines is my choice!

    "It's an older lounge sir... but it checks out." -Sith Lieutenant... probably…read more Located in Terminal C of DFW, near gate C20, this is a very large AA club lounge and it has a somewhat retro feel to it. Amenities are modern, but I did feel like I had been transported back to the 80s for some strange reason. Maybe that is just the age of this terminal? As I said before, it's huge. End to end you start to wonder if you're still in fact in the lounge. You are... but there are more nooks and crannies to discover. There is seating in every direction, along with dedicated sections for office work, and the cubicles come complete with large monitors to hook into for more productivity. There are windows to the actual gates, though you might be cooler during the summer staying away from them. They have a conference room that can be booked for an additional cost. This lounge has a few food areas, most of them serving up lighter bites with a more "main" buffet near the bar offering the most. When I went there was a build your own bagel sandwich station, staffed by someone ready to cook up and assemble you a delicious sandwich to order. The bar isn't big enough to accomodate the traffic when busy, at least when I was there in the summer. There are also a lot of chokepoints where you can just get stuck waiting to move. The showers can be utilized by checking in with someone in with customer service. Getting a quick shower in before a flight definitely adds to my comfort on the flight, it's a good way to decompress. Bathrooms are large and clean, you get your own stall with an actual full length door, like at a Buc-ees. The air conditioning is nice and cold in the office section to the left, seems to get much warmer in the window area. I do not often fly AA, but this was a worthy lounge, and I certainly appreciated it while awaiting my connection.

    Twice now we visited this club on Aug 25 and again Sept 15. Underwhelming is too generous for this…read moreplace. Crowded. Food is the worst ever. Did not notice a bar area with hot food and no one was really eating the cold offerings near the entrance. Worse...there is one tiny ramp for rolling luggage to get to the actual club. Good luck trying to leave as a blind corner insures that people entering the club level cannot see those waiting at the top,trying to depart. Insanity trying to leave. Who needs that.
