Wife flew down a few weeks before me.  I had similar\/same problems as she did when she flew through Dallas Fort Worth.  It&#8217;s COVID, I get it, but you would think the Airline would &#8216;fix&#8217; their schedule or something to avoid a hot mess at their hub.  Apparently not.  My initial flight was a half-hour late even though it seemed we boarded on time.  This caused quite a few passengers to have some really tight connections.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I got off the plane at A terminal, I went to the screens on where to go.  D terminal.  Great, I&#8217;m in A terminal.  On my way, I turn on the internet and I get a stream of notices to the American Airlines app indicating that the new gate is in D terminal.  I get to the gate and there is a plane heading to Philly sitting there.  Hm&#8230;  That&#8217;s weird.  Is this doesn&#8217;t seem quite right.  Look at the board again.  Now it is saying my flight is at an A terminal gate.  Look at the American Airlines app and it is still saying the D terminal gate, which to believe.  A little more pfaffing about and I finally find out that the final gate is actually in A terminal.  Mental note.  Check the boards often in Dallas.  The app only corrected itself quite sometime later.  Also, the second leg ended up being an hour and a half late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Full flights.  Lots of people not wearing masks properly.  Lots of stress.  Flying is not fun right now.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People, get vaccinated so that life can return to a more normal state.  I&#8217;m ok with masking, I just want fewer hassles.  Even after COVID, I think I&#8217;ll take the weird looks and continue to mask up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m in Alabama at the moment.
