DFW connection
harold french
I used the suggested connection thru DFW. I've been keeping an archive
of time and terminal at DFW and they seem to be late more than half
the time compounded by arriving & departing from different terminals. I
guess what I'm trying
to ask is how speedy the SKYLINK train is for moving from one terminal
to another? Thanks in advance for responses.

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.
I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.

It's a great improvement over the original system of glorified go-karts.
The trains run every two or three minutes, and the ride time is rarely
more than five minutes.
There are also airside walkways between terminals A-B, A-C, and C-D.

Skylink takes a maximum of about 20 minutes between the furthest terminals -
in AA's case that would be A-D or B-C. Just know your gate because there
are two Skylink stations in each of the terminals.

Trains run in both directions every couple of minutes now, so it shouldn't take
you more than 10 minutes worse case to get from one terminal to another.

You will definitely not be early/late for the train. The flights, on the
other hand ....
Atlanta is similar, being another major Delta hub.

Trains arrive every two minutes
Average ride time of five minutes
Maximum ride time of nine minutes between farthest points

Huh? The official website says

It might take you 20 minutes to ride the complete route, but the train
runs bidirectionally.

There is a taveler's adage, never use flights that connect
through Dallas when it might be storm season. And it might be
storm season anytime near Dallas.
We had a terrible trip last summer Cleveland->DFW->Tucson. Our
plane from Cleveland arrived late from Newark due to storms. Then
it turned out to be broken, and once they got nearly everyone,
except a few of us, on other flights it was fixed and we got to
DFW a cou0ple of hours late, well past our connection time. We
figured we'd take the last flight of the day to Tucson, except it
got cancelled, but every thing going in or out of DFW was hours
late, due to storms in the area, including - hot damn!- our
flight to Tucson. We ran to catch it, but it was delayed still
longer. We finally got to Tucson four hours late. Which was
pretty iconvenient being one a.m. but a damn sight better than
spending the night in or near DFW.
The SKYLINK train is pretty nifty, though. Beats that old one-way
around the loop thing all to hell.
