That's why I NEVER ride the SkyLink. Never. I always walk. Every terminal at DFW is walkable except E. The way I see it is that I want to be in control of my own progress through the terminal. I don't want to be subject to the whims of a train that might break down. If that means I have to sprint the whole way, I will do so. But I also plan ahead and book extended layovers so that I can be at the connecting gate early.

Plus, I'm about to board a long flight. Might as well get some more steps on the Fitbit while I can! If I'm about to board DFW-HKG, I will walk for a full hour around the terminals. 10,000 steps in the terminal make me feel better about being immobile for 17 hours on board.
