It can change very quickly.

Now shows A24.

Friday's departed D23.

If no mobility or other issues, in reality, it is only 10-15 minutes by air-train from the F/L to any gate (maybe not E22+).

It's called normal airport operations, and not reserved for AA alone.

I absolutely agree. With that said, my anecdotal experience is that gate changes happen WAY more with AA at DFW than at CLT, or than UA at IAH or DL at ATL.

In an ironic way, that means DFW is a much more flexible airport. And to boot, 90% of passengers could care less if gates change, unless it is after they have arrived at the airport and settled down.

It’s a stunning lounge and the finest I’ve ever seen from AA. The food looked amazing and really enjoy the open bar. I didn’t eat of course since I’ll be eating soon.

Very impressive AA.

Big mistake, but I guess that by now you have realized that.

I’m in the Flagship Lounge right now and most surprised AA splurged on heated toilet seats. I know there’s a good line in there somewhere and I’m sure some wag will provide one.

Interesting. They are not heated in the showers which is the only place I've sat in the D FL lounge .

If only there was a train that got you there in like 6 minutes...

Ok I'll stoop to the challenge - Slow-cooked rump is always popular

@TWA884 You were spot on with your reply.

I was at FL Monday and have to say I was very underwhelmed with the food. Sampled stuff was either bland or too salty. One of the managers must have seen my facial expressions and came over asked what's going on with the food. I gave him my opinions and hopefully the comments were passed upstream as well as downstream too.

Will be back at DFW tomorrow and if time permits, I'll stop in again. Otherwise, I'll pass. LA and JFK FL I've visited thus far have been spot on tasty food options.
