STUCK from Joe Ayala on Vimeo.
If you've ever been stuck in any airport overnight, you'll appreciate this video titled STUCK. When Larry Chen and Joe Ayala found themselves stranded overnight in the Dallas/Ft. Worth airport, they decided to have a little bit of fun with their predicament. The two filmed themselves at the airport, making the best of the overnight stay. I was once stuck ...

Ahh... travel. It can be such a magnificent, wonderful thing. Exploring other cultures, visiting beautiful destinations, and sampling local cuisines are all magically sublime experiences. But when things don't quite go as planned, it can be an extremely frustrating affair. One that makes us wonder why we ever left home in the first place.
I received a sobering reminder of this little fact ...Rick's Cabaret about to make DFW layovers more fun
Dec 15th, 2010 at 12:00PM: Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport is about to get a little sexier. The seventh-busiest airport in the world, with more than 5.7 million passengers passing through it every year (as of 2008), will soon be home to a new gentlemen's club.
Now, I know what you're thinking: "airport" strip clubs are usually heinous places. Not far from the airport, they usually attract the lowest of talent and ...Exclusive video: inside Virgin America's DFW launch

If you've been reading Gadling in the last week, you're probably aware that Virgin America launched their first mid-continent destination just one week ago in the heart of Texas. Now, see what it's like to shake hands with Richard Branson and be on the inside of a Virgin America launch event - bulls, barbecues, bandanas & all.
Special thanks to the W Dallas-Victory, Winspear Opera ...Inside Virgin America's mid-continent arrival

I don't think I actually understood the implications of Virgin America's launch into "fortress-hub" Dallas/Fort Worth until we touched down on the tarmac.
As we taxied to our gate, I could see nothing but a endless row of silver fuselages; all adorned with the iconic blue & red "AA" logo. It felt almost as if we were silently making our way through the front gates of a modern-day Troy. ...Virgin America lands at Dallas Fort Worth (Photos)

Watch out Dallas; the original maverick has come to town. Today, Virgin America officially kicked off its brand new service from LAX & SFO to Dallas Fort Worth with an inaugural flight & tarmac reception hosted by Sir Richard Branson and Dallas mayor, Tom Leppert.
With live bulls in a pen and a sign that read "Don't fly like cattle", Virgin America made their message very clear; ...American Airlines launches promotions to compete with new Virgin America route at DFW
Nov 30th, 2010 at 12:30PM: Move over, American - there's a new dog and pony show in town. American Airlines has launched a new promotional series they propose will "surprise and delight customers" who fly between their hub at Dallas/Fort Worth and LAX or SFO between now and February 28, 2011.
Cooincidentally, this promotion comes just as Virgin America begins competing service to the same two cities. Still, we're never ...Lady attempts to fly out of Dallas Fort Worth airport - in her car
Jun 4th, 2010 at 9:00AM:
Taking your car to the airport is usually a hassle - high parking rates, strict cops that refuse to let you wait more than 2 minutes in front of the terminal, and of course pesky toll collectors. At DFW airport, Yasmine Villasana really wanted to leave as quickly as possible - because she attempted to take off using the barrier at the toll plaza.
Upon landing, she managed to get out of her ...
Flight attendants fake strike to make point
Nov 22nd, 2009 at 3:00PM: Contract negotiations between American Airlines and its flight attendants have stalled. So, the flight attendants kicked off a fake strike on Wednesday. At Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, they picketed, handed out leaflets and wore red badges, showing flights they feel couldn't run without them. So, just think of how strong a real strike would have been! Similar protests were held at 12 ...Man can't wait for plane to reach the gate - opens door and jumps down slide
Mar 4th, 2009 at 11:00AM: It's starting to look like we'll soon need a "stupid passenger of the week" segment here on Gadling, because there certainly does not seem to be a shortage of material. The stupid passenger for today was on his way on American Airlines from Charlotte to Dallas Fort Worth when the plane was waiting for a spot at its assigned gate. Apparently this wait was a bit too long, so instead of grumbling ...
