Has anyone ever had to spend the night at the Dallas Fort Worth Airport?
I have to stay there tomorrow night because my connecting flight isnt until the morning. I am flying American Airlines. Is there Wifi? Are things open? will other people be sleeping there? What time do the bars close? Thanks

It's not too bad. Just put two sets of seats togther and lie across them or below them (depending on your preference). You can also ask an agent if they have a cot available as well. Yes, depending on the night, there could well be many people there as well. As for Wi-fi, there are some laptop stations with Wi-fi as well as some additional areas you can pick up a signal depending if you have a subscriber service. The Admiral's clubs also have internet access if you are a member or perhaps have an American Express Platinum card. As for bars, most close closer to 10 or 11, I think, but if you want a bar, just go to the DFW Hyatt or Grand Hyatt. Both are right there either attached to the terminal (Grand Hyatt in terminal D) or a short walk across a parking lot (DFW Hyatt from terminal c) Cheers!

How long does it take to drive from San Diego to Dallas, Fort Worth
How long does it take to drive from San Diego to Dallas, Fort Worth?
My in-laws are expecting me and my family this christmas. I just looked at flights and its going to cost me $1,600!!! I was wondering how long it would take to drive. I have a two and a half year old who may get fidgety but if I make a few stops to stretch our legs I think that we could do it.

It depends if your a fast driver or not.
2 :
From my experience, it takes about 3 - 4 days driving from SD to Dallas, with a few pitstops here and there. Just dont drive too fast or too slow. Keep it at a steady speed. You will get there.
3 :
never done it but I believe it's about a 15hr drive..look it up on google maps get directions it's pretty accurate
4 :
Yes! Tickets are expensive I too agree. It usually takes about 2 to 3 days, just take your time, stop in well lit areas with lots of people. Book a motel/hotel too if possible to rest up. Gas prices have dropped here in Texas :) Be safe and Good luck!

Google Maps shows it to be about 1340 miles / 19 hours windshield time. Roughly three 450 mile days. Truck Stop Info Plus shows a nice 24-hour travel stop at I-8 exit 61, Crestwood Rd. (I like to start my trips by simply getting in the car and driving about an hour to a breakfast stop.) Thereafter depends on the fuel range of your vehicle. I like truck stops because they are generally secure -- too many witnesses. Not to mention generally good food, low fuel prices, and 24-hour service. (I have, in the past, slept in the car in a gas station waiting for them to open.) Assuming round trip, assuming $3 gas, assuming 35 mpg highway, assuming four nights at $70 motels -- about $500 plus food. 450 mile days is about 7 hours windshield time. Figure a 10 minute break every hour, add two 60 minute food stops, about 10 hours per day on the road -- 8 am to 6 pm.

I like Dimo's answer, but I would drive later at night, the reasoning behind this is less daytime traffic, and trying to get away from the commuting hours. Pack the child things he can eat along the way, and stay hydrated, but not too hydrated, you don't want to stop too often. You will definitely be able to do it. I tend to drive about 550-600 miles a day, but driving for 12 hours for me is not out of the question, you may not be able to do this with a child. Watch the speedlimits, there is nothing worse than an out of state ticket.

Tell the representative exactly which flight you left them on, as you didn't make that clear.

This was a very interesting question to research. I found the advertisments on Duke Univ. website via airlines.about.com. From viewing the domestic air prices, $100 might have been too much for a flight from NYC to Texas, but may have been right if the passenger had the additional travel from Boston. Please notice the times it took to travel from NY to San Francisco and Los Angeles: almost 12 hours to San Fran and more than 10 to LA! http://scriptorium.lib.duke.edu/adaccess/T/T23/T2363-72dpi.jpeg With the second ad, you'll see some airfares to European cities along with a domestic coast-to-coast fare of $99. Right next to the fare, you'll see the amount the passenger could pay for a down payment on the price of the ticket. Those prices weren't such a bargain when you realize that in 1954, the year this ad was produced, the average person earned less than $3,000 per year. In the '50's, air travel was for the wealthy. That was too large a chunk of a middle-class income. http://scriptorium.lib.duke.edu/adaccess/T/T21/T2110-72dpi.jpeg
