DFW Terminal E Satellite open 3 May 2019

Fifteen new AA gates are in the newly opened Terminal E Satellite. Its an extension of Terminal E, a small terminal building jutting out into the airfield on DFWs east side. Travelers connecting to a flight at the satellite terminal must use an underground walkway, which is about 500 feet long but features moving sidewalks.

The entrance to the Terminal E Satellite is near gate E21.

About 100 daily flights, mostly operated by Envoy linking DFW with regional American Eagle destinations such as Evansville, Ind., Harlingen and McAllen.

An Admirals Club is to open by the end of the year.

Concessions include a Dickeys Barbecue Pit; a Whataburger is scheduled to in late May.

This will be an intermediate term solution while the new Terminal F, serving American and other airlines, is built; that is expected to take several years.

Exclamation DFW Terminal E Satellite - Open 3 May 2019: 15 gates, Club to come

The DFW Terminal E Satellite gates are officially open as of today.

https://www.star-telegram.com/news/b...229926399.html

The airline, which will begin using the new gates Friday, held a ceremony Thursday to celebrate more than a year of work that went into upgrading the satellite terminal. It features upgraded concessions, including a Dickeys Barbecue Pit thats already open and a Whataburger that is scheduled to open around the end of May.

Finally DFW gets a Whataburger. The hike over there will suck, but it'll be worth it. Always amazed me that DFW didn't have one.

Hope it doesn't smell like the nauseating smell of grease that reeks out of the Pappasitos at C.

It seems like most airports are doing a good job of getting interesting local restaurants to open up airport locations but DFW is just "Here's a Dickies!" or "Let's open a Chili's in C right down the hall from the TGI Fridays!"

Although Whataburger is a good add...

Speaking of this, was very angry to see the Irish Pub in DFW/D close. I understand it is being replaced by Flying Saucer.

I'd rather have the irish pub. They had some unique menu items that you couldn't get anywhere else in the airport.

Seems like the big news is Admirals Club in E. Surprised there is room for one in that little satellite.

The Irish Pub was one of my go to places, but there are some things I enjoy on the menu at Flying Saucer too - hopefully those will be on the airport menu. Though my current favorite place is the Banh Shop at D10.

I assume it will occupy the space formerly used as a Sky Club and United Club. It's on the middle level below the gates.

Dickies and Whataburger are upgraded? I mean, they're better than McDonalds/Burger King, but far from "upgraded" IMO.

Hasn't Dickie's always been in the E Satellite? I recall it being there when the US Airways flights were there. And I believe it was the Dickie's in C that was replaced by a Shake Shack.

15 new gates sounds like a lot of new flights. Has there been a big announcement of new destinations and frequencies or are they just trickling out?
