3 Things I Love About Dallas Fort-Worth International Airport

This post may contain affiliate links.

Well, I am definitely categorizing this post under Texas, but really it doesn’t count in my eyes.

I just got off of the airplane and finished up reading about becoming a digital nomad. But, now I’m sitting here in Au Bon Pain in the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport on a two hour layover waiting to connect to Las Vegas.

Hey, Vegas! Hey, Girl! I’ll see you soon!

Anywho, the layover waiting doesn’t bother me (especially after being on a nine hour delay on my last trip in Orlando).

So, this time, I came prepared with The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, my laptop, camera, and grabbed a delicious Caramel Macchiato from “the bakery cafe”.

Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport

If you have never been to this airport, I grabbed a few photos along the way because it’s HUGE. I mean many of the airports I have been in have been huge, so really it’s no big deal to me (as long as I have the time needed to navigate it).

Nevertheless, here are 3 Things I Love About Dallas Fort-Worth International Airport.

#1) The Skylink was clean.

I know this sounds crazy because all airport transportation should be clean, right? Wrong. All airport transportation is not created equal.

I will not call out any airports, but I will say the airport transportation from one I just used for travel to Disney World was a little yucky – to say the least.

It could have also been that the day was icky and raining from the beginning. I don’t know.

I just know that this one is clean, just as well as Orlando’s airport is clean. Some others are simply questionable.

#2) Au Bon Pain is (somewhat) affordable.

Did I just write that? I think I did.

A beautiful avocado chicken salad is like $10. OMG! In the last airport I was in… I swear a bag of Cheez-Its were like $8. LOL. So, to be able to have a fresh and healthy meal that’s affordable (as in $10) is amazing!

#3) There is Instagrammable wall art – if that’s your thing.

As I was walking to my gate, I noticed so many big wall murals and wall art.

Totally #Selfie and #InstagramWorthy.

Unfortunately, I don’t have a tripod with me on this solo trip, and I be damn if I ask a stranger to get a photo of me inside of McDonald’s lounge area with the wall art. LOL. I’m probably a little too old to be doing that.

But, who knows. When I walk back passed, I may just do it. We’ll see.

Final Thoughts

Although, I have only spent a few hours here, I was quickly able to find 3 Things I Love About Dallas Fort-Worth International Airport including the clean SkyLink, affordable food options, and Instagramable wall art.
