You Won’t Even Recognize DFW Airport
The best fact about DFW Airport I can remember is that the land area of the airport is larger than Manhattan. It’s an incredibly large airport housing the largest US-based airline. And, it’s getting a much-needed facelift in its older terminals.

Lufthansa doesn’t have a dedicated desk at OSL, which means we had to check in through the SAS desk. Unfortunately, this ended up being much more difficult than […]
