I am flying from Missouri to Maryland on Thursday and am changing in Dallas. Everyone keeps telling me how awful it is to change terminals, etc. Is it really that difficult? I fly often and have always changed at O'Hare, which to me is not a problem at all. Thanks!

Hi,
This would be a great post for the Smart Traveler Board I bet they'll have the answers you seek!

It's been several years since we changed flights there, however, I don't recall having any problems. I would imagine if you can handle O'Hare, you'll do just fine.

I was there a while ago and dont remember it being any big deal.

I had a layover in DFW a few years ago and it was no problem getting from one place to another (not nearly as bad as Atlanta which I normally go through). My only gripe was that I got to my next gate early and sat down to read a magazine. After being there for quite a while I started to wonder why my flight wasn't boarding yet and when I looked up at the gate I saw that they had changed the sign for the destination (and never made an announcement). I had to go check the screen to see what gate my flight had been moved to and had to run to catch the plane in time.

I got stuck there on the 4th of July a few years ago, when nothing was open, and no one was around. It wasn't awful by any means, but there were no pay phones around, and it can't imagine that situation's improved any. It also seemed that all the restaurants were frozen yogurt or pretzel places, oddly enough.

They have updated it a bunch recently (my godfather is one of the ones in charge). I think that other airports are harder to navigate (imo).

Good luck!

IMO DFW airport is one of the easiest airports to navigate. If you are flying American you might have to change terminals. If you do there are shuttles people and movers to get around. If you are traveling with any other airline, you will leave the same terminal as you arrive.
The resturants have had a major upgrade recently, there are lots of places to relax.
You can go to Welcome to dfwairport.com and find all kinds of info. hope this helps J.D.
BTW I live not to far from the airport.

Where are you going in Maryland? BWI? I am in Silver Spring.
