Am I the only one who appreciates the decentralized multiple carousel system at DFW?
I fly in and out of DFW frequently (1–2 times a month). While I seldom check in my bag, whenever I do, I always appreciate how fast and easy it is to collect bags when flying in. I don’t have to walk miles to a centralized location with multiple carousels. They have multiple carousels spread across the airport. Especially Terminal E, which has like 10 carousels, roughly equating to 1 carousel for every 4 gates. For e.g., if you land at gate E20, your nearest baggage claim might be E18, that covers gates E16-E20. (Making these numbers up but you get it). You just walk out of the plane, walk for a couple of mins to your nearest exit/baggage claim, get the bag, and out you go. This is, of course, possible only if you fly domestic, but I’m always surprised by how quickly I get out of the airport at DFW.
