Trust me... it wasn't. After AA cancelled all the flights out of DEN, we managed to find the ONE carrier still going to DFW... F9. We didn't take off from DEN until around 11 MST and then we got to our gate at DFW at 2 am. The airport itself was a zoo... people everywhere and flights on some carriers (like HP) that were STILL trying to board and take off from the afternoon. The taxi lines were outrageously long and police were directing terminal traffic. Folks were fighting so hard to get on the Terminal Link shuttles that a passenger broke the door on one (putting it out of commission) while shoving ahead of the others to get on. I arrived home around 3 am only to leave at 6:30 to head to ATL today where we are now sitting and watching the delays start piling up again this afternoon.
