"Identified as the longest airport walk in the U.S., with a 1.50-mile trek from the main entrance to the farthest gate. The facility covers nearly 30 square miles and has 171 gates spread across five terminals, so its multiple concourses and sprawling layout mean significantly more walking—or wheeling—before departures or connections. Travelers facing tight connections should plan ahead and consider booking accessibility services or escorts in advance to avoid last-minute stress." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.

"One of the world’s busiest airports, it handles more than 64 million travelers annually and ranks among the busiest by aircraft movements. The complex functions as a culinary showcase for the region, letting travelers sample Dallas–Fort Worth flavors without leaving the terminals: local chefs and legacy barbecue spots sit alongside national chains, with terminals organized to highlight local favorites first and chains alphabetically." - Courtney E. Smith
"A major international hub that will gain a new direct EVA Air service beginning Oct. 3, with flights to Taiwan operating three times per week. EVA Air will operate the route with Boeing 777-300ER aircraft offering Royal Laurel business class, premium economy, and economy, and says the service makes it the only Asian carrier with two routes to Texas. As the world's third-largest airport by passenger traffic and a key transfer point to major U.S., Central and South American cities, adding this nonstop connection is presented as a way to increase convenience for connecting travelers." - Katie Nadworny Katie Nadworny Katie Nadworny is an Istanbul-based writer who specializes in stories at the intersection of culture and politics in Turkey, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East.

"A major international airport where customs inspections can become a small drama for travelers carrying regional foods: one traveler was pulled aside for a 30-minute check when a care package of aged Mexican cheese was flagged, prompting curiosity from an agent who noted the frequency of such shipments and underscoring how transnational food movement and migration routines bring beloved, hard-to-find ingredients into diaspora communities." - Cynthia Rebolledo
