Dallas Airport

[GeordieLass]

Has anyone been through Dallas Fort Worth Airport? I don't know which terminal but whichever is the international one. Did you find anywhere to eat? (I see there's a Wendy's on their website)

I haven't been through there in a while (and never for an international flight) but it looks like Terminal D is where most international flights originate.

Looking at the interactive map, you might have good luck with Blue Bamboo Xpress (japanese food, sushi), Cool River Cafe (steaks and seafood), or perhaps one of the BBQ places. Of course it would be wise to call ahead and ask questions.

Here's the Open Original Shared Link I was looking at.

Are you flying in or out? (Or both?)

Thanks ohsotired, I hadn't managed to find the interactive map, that's handy!!

I'm just changing at Dallas but I have at least 2 hours and it will my first ever experience of America, lol! so might as well make it a good one

You're doing the camping trip, right? Sounds like a great time!

Glad I could help with the map! When are you flying to the US?

Just thinking I might have some time in the next few days to make some phone calls for you, so you don't rack up those international charges.

I'm just floored at your generous offer!! American hospitality already?! Wow. Yep that's me doing the camping thing. It is very exciting!!

You know, after researching all the likely looking restaurants I think I'll make a beeline for Wendy's & try their gluten-free menu, sushi & japanese makes me worried (soy sauce, rice wine), although Cool River Cafe at least mentions allergens on its menu (you have to look at the small print right at the end) so if anywhere that might be worth a go. Thanks anyway ohsotired, I owe you

I'm flying in June & flying with American Airlines so I don't know what to expect, I have requested a gluten-free meal, I hope it shows up because I've got a lot of miles to do.

Wendy's may be the best choice; at least you know you could eat a baked potato or a salad.

If I can make any phone calls for you, please let me know! I live in Dallas so it's a local call for me.

I've heard good things about American Airlines (my hubby travels with them all the time), but just to be on the safe side, you may want to pack lots of snacks in your carry on.

Just saw this today

They just opened a location in the DFW airport

I don't know much more about it but I'm wondering if you can eat there even if you aren't flying in/out of the airport

Thanks to both of you for your help and suggestions. The grill place does look good. I was meaning to ask actually how people find flying with American Airlines, gluten-free-wise, do they often forget your meal or anything I should watch out for? I will try to carry snacks but it is a long time to fly from the UK to california. I'm going to behave like a camel and gorge when I can!

U Food Grill was great. I've eaten there a few times in the past month or so and haven't had any problems at all. You can get there taking their little trolley system if you're just connecting to a flight - it's all the way at the end of the terminal, but well worth the hike. I hope they expand to multiple airports soon - it's a lifesaver to have someplace safe to go when you have long layovers or flights.
