Hi. We (Wife and me + 2 girls -11 & 9 yo) will be in DFW in september 14th (tuesday) for about 12 hrs. Our flight will land from HNL at 7 AM and next flight will depart at 7 PM aprox. Last flight is an international one (to Argentina).


AA phone seller told us that this kind of things happens everyday and advised us to leave the luggages already dispatched and go to Dallas City to spend the day. Will it worth it?
What is is supposed we have to do?. Is there any kind of tour or some of the sort?.


By the way, where can we leave the carry-on luggages?. Are still lockers in American airports? I will be carrying lots of carry-on, including an electric guitar.

Some people told me about going to Grapevine. Worth it?
Other told me to relax and spend the whole 12 hrs. inside the airport. Sounds oppressive!

And in case that we can do something, what could I expect upon returning to DFW to board the next flight -which is an international one-? I have read too much about people getting in lots of trouble because they went out of the airport for a couple of hours.

Any clue will be welcome.
