Cots at DFW 6/10
bunch of coleman cots around gate 37 yesterday(6/10). late flight got cancelled(6/9), so rather than provide hotel rooms, AA brought out a bunch of cots for the people to sleep over. they were still there at 8am.(both the people and the cots)
guess i could pack my cot and sleep over. save the price of hotel room.
i would think this would be extremely illegal if dfw were in a city/town. most have laws against sleeping over in bus/train stations. airline terminals should fall in the same catagory.
would like to see penn station if cot sleepover were legal.

there are entire websites devoted to sleeping at airports.

DFW has gotten used to this and hence has cots on hand

(We have at least one of those here in Massachusetts, too, though it doesn't have an airport. The postal delivery area of Chestnut Hill has parts in the cities of Boston, Brookline and Newton. It was a loosely-defined neighborhood before USPS formalized it.)
