Sometimes you hit the bear with a aircraft and sometimes the bear eats you. Must have snuck past the bearicade I hope they gave him a proper bearial. I’ll see myself out.
Not that it was great before, but since the pandemic of you have to fly American through DFW just go ahead and anticipate delays and missed connections. It’s almost every single time for me now.
doc I work with got his flight to FL changed last minute to include a 12 hour layover @ DFW last week...fucking yikes

How is MCI still the same airport it was 10 years ago? Flew in tonight and for such a great city, it’s got the woat airport.
Did you know: in WSJ's (my dad still reads it) annual rankings, SFO came out on top of the large airport category? In fairness there's been a ton of renovation over the years, and that includes the runways...
new one opens in 3.5 months and can’t come soon enough. they stopped giving a fuck at the old terminals so it’s gotten even worse the last six months
DFW isn’t bad to be in from a food and drink perspective but it’s the absolute worst for random gate changes requiring you to walk 10 miles between flights
Flew in and out of SeaTac this weekend and it was fine. Lots of good food/booze options, tho the Sea Lounge was pretty underwhelming. Very limited power/plug in options anywhere tho, at least in A.
nashville's improvements have been nice. added a lot of local coffee shop / restaurants. real dearth of lounges tho it is astounding how some airports do a great job with food options, while others are just fucking awful.
It’s much better but some of the renovated terminals (the Harvey Milk terminal irrc) have a lot of space for lounging but not as many food options. I always prefer more eating/drinking options to vast amount of lounging space. The other “older” terminals are chock full of great dining options. Overall I do think it’s one of the best airports
AS stopped accepting PP for any of its lounges outside of JFK earlier this year. Further, they have just announced that for short haul flights (there's a mileage limit that pretty much excludes any flight up and down the west coast focus cities/hubs) there is no longer automatic entry for F fares.
They are majorly renovating the main atrium area, incl new centurion - but won't be finished/open for a couple of years. I don't mind lounging with AS and I think even the third party lounge is decent all things considered but I loathe those concourses and gate areas - which are always really congested imo.
I pretty much only fly AS and UA domestically so I haven't been in HM yet, but T2 (which AS is eventually leaving to join the oneworld fun in HM) has a pretty good amount of options IMO. I admit there could be more in UA's T3 by comparison (it's also significantly larger of course)
Fuck me I have a 4+ hour layover in Atlanta on Saturday. Best restaurant? Bar to watch some college hoops? TIA and Ts & Ps are appreciated
That’s weird but I guess Saturday is slow day. Open till 10 every other day? I’ve never been through ATL on a Saturday except Thanksgiving week.
The food is pretty crazy expensive. If I wasn’t on an expense report every time there, it would annoy me.
SFO was staggeringly nice when I was there in October. Clean, modern, well maintained. Basically the opposite of the city it serves.
It's been years but I loved it the 2/3 times we've used it. Don't remember name of restaurant was but hands down the best airport food I've ever had
But anyway there's now only United's T3 that has some areas older than the INTL terminal (of late 2000.) Everything else is (considerably) newer, and even UA has a newish pier to compliment their old one.
