Had the oppurtunity to check out the new Terminal (Terminal D) at Dallas/Fort Worth last weekend, as I was there for a brief layover. It's a massive improvement: in addition to being gigantic, and a festival of moving walkways, as in the new terminal in Detroit, there's plenty of glass and none of that scrubby tile to be found. I long for the day when this makeover comes to the crappy Terminals here in NYC. Even the monorail, called the SkyTrain, was a pleasant experience. Apparently, the previous one did not run so well in inclement weather. Or at all.
Also, across from Gate 24, hit the Chili's rip-off. I believe it's called Chammp's--that's with two m's--and it has some of the coldest airport beer I've ever sampled. Still doesn't rival the beer at Ruzyne, but it's close. And remember, draft beer at the airport is going to be super-fresh, becuase of the rapid turnover of kegs. Skip the chicken fingers, though. I wish I had.
