Question regarding DFW
Aloha all, I will be transiting through DFW in a couple of weeks and will have the opportunity to meet some friends who live in Dallas. I want to meet them in the airport but before security, as I only have 2 hours before my next flight. I'll be on a United flight, if that makes any difference. Does anyone know if there are any bars/restaurants prior to security?
Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.

There are no bars, restaurants, or even newsstands outside security at any DFW terminal. Best bet might be the new Hyatt, connected to the International Terminal. That'll be abot a 5 minute skylink ride for you, if you do it airside, or they could meet you curbside and drive you over. Otherwise, you'll be sitting by the ticket counter or bag carousel.

I second swag's rec for the Hyatt.
The other option might be - if you are a RCC member (since I see you are a 1k) to schedule a "meeting" in the RCC and see if you can get a security pass for your friends. (AAdmirals Clubs will do this for you if you call the club 24 hours in advance so you can have your friends placed on the security list.)

Thank you both, that's the information I need. The Hyatt sounds like the best bet. I've got the RCC membership, but I doubt they want to deal with the hassle of the checkpoints. Although I don't suppose it's too bad around 1000 am...

one thing nice about DFW Airport is that you can usually get through security pretty quickly, CU should be able to leave go visit with them at that hotel or wherever and then get back in in a relatively quick fashion. The only problem is is that if you're on American they board the airplane 30 minutes early, and if you get off the plane and have a two-hour layover you're really only gotta be left with about 60 to 75 minutes.
