Canceled Flights, Wrecked Vacations and Leaky Planes: Passenger Frustrations Rise as American Airlines Struggles
Lora Paine's summer beach trip to Florida to celebrate a new job now brings back only frustrating memories. Her American Airlines flight from California to Fort Walton Beach turned into a nightmarish weekend of flight delays, cancellations and intermittent sleep in airport terminals. She spent an extra night at DFW International Airport because of a delayed flight, then an extra day at Las Vegas' McCarran International Airport on her return trip.

Why in the heck would anyone stuck in DFW sleep in the airport?
If you're stranded in DFW, there's no excuse for sleeping in the airport. Take the train to Concourse D: exit, up the escalator on your left and you're in the lobby of the Hyatt--sleep stress averted.

I once had to sleep in the DFW airport. It was the night of the NCAA championship football game and every room within 50 miles of the airport was booked solid. Weather (at my home airport) cancelled my flight.
