    The DFW terminal feels very 70s. There is plenty of fast food but otherwise offerings are limited. At least the gates are specious but DFW does not feel like a modern airport.

    A bit of an overcast today.

    It's funny that I just don't have enough information to properly write about this terminal. After a 3 1/2 hour very smooth flight we landed at DFW and taxied over to Terminal E. We got off the plan very quickly since we were in row two. From the plane we walked over to the restrooms which were located adjacent to the gate and then through the doors across the isle to baggage which came out as soon a s we walked in. From there we walked out the doors directly to the ride share where a car was waiting for us just seconds after my wife ordered it. What can I say? Everything flowed perfectly and I can only hope that it only works like this on all upcoming flights. The terminal is bright, clean and was easy to maneuver around in even though we were in our car 15 minutes after landing. KUDOs to the team at DFW Terminal E

    Flew out on Delta on the morning of a oncoming snowstorm. Got to experience how DFW handles snow/sleet weather including the process of de-icing. Now appreciate more the dedicated de-icing bays that exist in the cold weather airports like MSP, ORD, and DTW. Also learned that a larger aircraft can take up to 1000 gallons of fluid, and all of it runs off the airplane at takeoff. Also learned that one only has 15 minutes to takeoff after de-icing, otherwise you have to do the whole process over again.

    Came to Terminal E and parked the car in the parking lot garage, Friday morning to Sunday noon for $96! Twas quite expensive but convenient, indeed.

    Cars waiting curbside without security.

    Here at Terminal E you'll find gates for Spirit, Frontier, United, Delta and Alaska Airlines. About a dozen eateries, 2-4 coffee shops (Peats, IHOP, Starbucks). Lounging sofas along the walkways and bathroom every 100ft or so.

    Sitting area!

    We had 4 hour lay over in Dallas. We decided to eat at Bar Louie. Great decision. Food was great, great service, and great selection of music to enjoy our meal. Airport was clean, really large.

    Great terminal lots of food and drink choices even very early in the morning. If extra time lots to look at. Bathrooms are easy to find and clean and well serviced. Drinking fountains have a way to fill waterbottles which I appreciated.

    I always feel like terminal E is like the back alleys of DFW. Lots of stairs up and down depending on where your gate is. Admirals club hidden between flights of stairs on your way to the gates. Parking here is a little easier than the busier ones so that's a plus.

    It's a nice efficient terminal with self check in, baggage drop off area. They also have Clear, TSA Pre check all together and TSA security checks are pretty smooth. Inside the terminal lots of restaurants including chic fil a, sports bar, TGIF, Starbucks and few more. United and Delta lounges are available too. Lots of markings and signs available to guide passengers. Gates are clearly marked with standalone advertisement board.

    Headed to C8!

There was a video game arcade lounge which was really cool and I thoroughly enjoyed. Finding the gate was easy but there was just so much walking.

    Our most recent flight transfer through Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) was an…read moreextremely upsetting experience with TSA. Although we both have Global Entry, we were randomly selected to go through regular security screening. At first, we had no reason to question it. When we first approached the TSA PreCheck personnel, she told us that our digital boarding passes did not show PreCheck and that we needed to go through regular security. To save time, we went to the American Airlines desk and requested paper boarding passes. When we brought them back, the TSA personnel told us that she had just learned that we had been "randomly" marked for regular security screening. We then went to the regular security checkpoint, which had a much longer line and took approximately four times longer than the PreCheck line. When we finally reached the metal detectors, however, we were instructed to line up for the X-ray scanner instead. The woman directly in front of us was allowed to go through the regular metal detector, while we were directed to the scanner. Then, people behind us were also sent to the scanner, while other passengers were allowed to continue through the metal detector. At that point, we began noticing a very disturbing pattern. The people being held back and directed to the scanner appeared to be African American, Asian, or Hispanic, while the passengers being allowed through the metal detector appeared to be white. We understand that TSA screening can be random, but seeing this pattern unfold right in front of us was extremely difficult to ignore. It felt like blatant racial profiling. After this experience, I now question whether we were truly "randomly" selected in the first place. We have taken more than 10 flights since getting Global Entry, and this was the first time we were ever "randomly" selected for regular security screening. We genuinely believed it was simply a random screening until we experienced what happened at the security checkpoint. Because of the additional screening, we lost valuable time during our connection. We had only about 1 1/2 hours between flights, and by the time we finally cleared security, the boarding closing time printed on our boarding passes had just passed. We panicked and ran to the nearest American Airlines desk. Thankfully, a staff member checked our flight and kindly assured us that the flight was delayed and that boarding had just started. We then ran from Terminal D to Terminal B, including taking the airport train, and barely made it in time for boarding. We had no opportunity to use any of the airport amenities, restaurants, or shops, so unfortunately, we cannot comment on those. What we can comment on is how upsetting and unacceptable it was to feel that we were treated differently because of our race. No traveler should have to experience this. I sincerely hope DFW and TSA will look into how passengers are being selected and directed through these screening lines.

In one case I flew…read morein on a larger Airbus aircraft, then had to change terminals as I flew back out on a small CRJ regional/commuter plane. A few days later I did the reverse. Do know that, if you have a layover here in Dallas that requires you to change gates it can take a while. While signage is clear and easy to follow, and I was walking at a fairly brisk pace, I had about 1 1/2 hours layover and arrived to my departing gate just as the plane was ready to board. This is due to the time it takes to get to the tram, ride the tram through a few stops and to the appropriate set of gates (which are quite spread apart) and then navigate to the gate areas - so even with that long of a layover, I wasn't able to browse the shops and didn't have time to dally. 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.

It's easy to not remember where you parked. TSA has this new touch-less feature that is marked in your boarding pass and boom so easy to get though. It does face recognition and that's it! Stopped by Starbucks and on to my gate. Easy travel experience.

They have been closing off areas and some of the shops to do the construction, but the first new expansion has opened and it is nice. Brand new state of the art gates and seating. And they have some exciting restaurants coming. Lookin at you Pappas Bros! They are right off of the skylink train so they are super easy to get to. They are also doing a good job of sealing off the construction and navigating people around it. Going through the middle Cs where nothing has been touched is harder to navigate than where they are doing work. It will be interesting to see what they do with security once they get around 22, but we will cross that bridge when we get there.

Unfortunately, it seems determined to make the journey more interesting than it needs to be. Every time I fly through here, something is closed, blocked off, or under construction. It has reached the point where I just assume the orange cones and temporary walls are permanent décor. I completely understand that airports need renovations, but this terminal has felt like a never-ending construction project for years. Between the detours, relocated businesses, and constantly changing walkways, it rarely feels like a polished travel experience. The terminal gets you where you need to go, but it lacks the modern feel and convenience of some of the other terminals at DFW. Hopefully, all of this construction eventually leads to something spectacular. Until then, Terminal C feels like the airport equivalent of "We're almost done!"... said every year. 2 STARS

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.
