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.

Departing From Terminal A

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.

Recently visited Dallas and went through the Fort Worth International Airport.. super awesome…read moreairport.. looked very neat, clean and huge.. security clearance and other things were really quick.. lots of restaurants and shops on the way to the terminal.. Rental car facility is slightly far, but there were buses to the facility.. takes about 10 minutes from the airport.. in hot summer it's really difficult to stand outside for the bus to go to the rental.. when I visited it was about 100F and had to stand out for 10'mins not knowing when the bus will arrive . Baggage carousel is good and just outside the exit . Good experience overall . The only issue with this airport is we had to pay a charge to get into the airport, even if we had to just drop somebody on the departure.. although it's not too expensive I wish they just made it free.. costed bout 3$ but had to pay every time if we are going inside the airport.. never saw that with any airports in New York New Jersey area..

This was my first time traveling through this airport, and surprisingly, it was very easy to…read morenavigate. There are plenty of shops and restaurants available, which makes it easy to pass the time while waiting for your flight. One thing to note is that there is limited seating available at some boarding gates. Because of this, many passengers line up near the gate area, which can make the walkways and surrounding areas feel very congested when trying to move between gates. Overall, it was a convenient airport to navigate, with plenty of options for dining and shopping.

I made a reservation with American after not flying with them for years. I wanted to secure the…read moredeal I found so I went ahead and booked with my frequent flyer number of 10 years old to find out that my profile still had my maiden name. My mistake - I immediately changed my name with the supporting documents and it was changed in a few days in the app. It wasn't until a few weeks later when I checked in, I realized my name never updated so I tried calling AA and they said it airline had to handle it. So the day of my flight, I visited DFW with my marriage license, old and new passports and a smile and I was greeted by Michelle at the AA counter who at first was welcoming, then her mood changed when I asked for help with my name change. She replied with a "why did you check in if it wasn't correct?" I thought ... because I want to still check in on time and I was told I needed to see a desk agent., which I politely told her and informed her that I had all supporting documents. She informed me that she may not be able to get my same seat or a seat at all since she had to un-check me in, and I said that was okay, I just want to make sure everything is correct and connected. She didn't reply much after that, but I still proceeded to be very kind. I ended up with the same seat, same boarding position and the flight was in no way full. I had no other trouble, but her demeanor was a little much for something that ended up taking her 3 minutes to fix. Oh well!

So far the experience hasn't been great today. We boarded our flight to China and had to disembark…read morebecause the engine wasn't working, leading the a/c to also malfunction. They are currently in the process of fixing the issue. Our flight was expected to leave at 10:40. We got stuck on the plane in the heat for 30 minutes. Now we are waiting for the issue to be fixed in order to embark once again. Tentatively the airline stated that we should be boarding now but we still are awaiting. The staff on our flight were all nice and accommodating. They were also very hot and obviously have nothing to do with the issue. Hopefully this problem is fixed as soon as possible. We have a wedding to get to so hopefully everything isn't delayed any further. On July 1st our flight got delayed an entire 24 hours. We were issued a $12 food voucher and a hotel voucher that was actually a motel with a foul odor. The shower was disgusting as well. We ended up booking a different hotel out of pocket. We were told that our flight was re-scheduled for 11:15 am for July 2nd and that there shouldn't be any more issues. We were also told on July 1st that we can go down to baggage claim if we wanted our luggage and that it would be available in 30 minutes to an hour. Once we got downstairs they said our luggage was not available for another 30 minutes to 5 hours. The staff at American Airlines baggage claim were extremely rude and dismissive. We never ended up getting our luggage because they did not have an actual estimate of how long it would take. Day 2 of our flight being delayed. We arrived at the airport and it seemed like things were looking up. We get to the gate and are awaiting for everyone to be able to board. As we're waiting we're told once again today that our flight will be delayed 45 minutes now because the plane is having the same issues with the a/c not functioning. They also stated that it was a different plane, how can a totally different plane have the same issue occurring. It does not make any sense. Now the airline is saying that the plane is out of service. They stated that the plane is coming from the hangar and it will take 30 minutes. Out of no where they say that we have to go from Gate D33 to Gate D65. Now they are saying that we have to wait 6 hours for our new flight with a new plane. So instead of our 24 hour delayed flight leaving at 11:15 am, we are now scheduled to leave at 6:00 pm according to the updates we have received. I am extremely disappointed and do not ever want to fly with American Airlines again. We are flying to China for a wedding and have had to cancel multiple reservations that were made in advance and it's also looking like we are not going to make the wedding. This is absurd and has affected all of us traveling emotionally and physically.
