What's actually good
American Flagship Lounge (D) is the best US lounge for AAdvantage members. Centurion Lounge (D) — Amex Platinum, world-class. Food: Whitetail Bistro by Kent Rathbun (D) does Texas BBQ properly. The TexMex Cantina in C is honest. Free Wi-Fi works flawlessly.
Avoid
Booking under-90-min connections at peak (DFW operates huge banks of AA flights — terminal walks add up). Driving to/from DFW during rush — 161 + 183 jam reliably. Renting a car at the airport vs. Love Field if you're city-bound (off-airport rates often half). Underestimating distances — DFW is bigger than Manhattan.
