Centurion @ DFW


Terminal D, near Gate D12
Dallas / Fort Worth Int’l Airport

May return

The 3 star ranking can blame on the Atlanta’s – we were happened to be there a few minutes after they first opened.
So…

This one is better than IAH Houston’s. The narrow long corridor looking down on the lower level, entrance way and shops. The food court is small and people do line up.

I also visited Capital One, which I felt is better.

Will return.

This is the first Capital One lounge for me. It shares the elevators with AA, near the Gate 22 in terminal D.

When we first got here a little after 11am, it was a ZOO. People are everywhere, from the entrance to the checking in counter.

We left for the centurion lounge. Before boarding, we came in, because the entrance was empty. We even found a cozy corner.

It’s facing a runway – learnt a lot for the short few minutes that smaller jet takes off earlier – duh ha ha ha. Food is better than Amex’s – hope this comment won’t get me in trouble, to have my post removed.

JFK Memorial Plaza on Google Maps

“X” at site of JFK Assassination

Dealey Plaza is a small park in the West End historical district in downtown Dallas, north of our Hyatt Regency (and Crown Block & Union Station). It was named after George Dealey (1859-1946), who was long time publisher of the Dallas Morning News, among many other ventures. The landmark news building at 508 Young Street is a short walk away.

 

It was known as the ‘Birth Place of Dallas’ since 1840s, and the ‘Front Door of Dallas’ since 1963.

However, it became very well known since late 1963, when president  JFK was assassinated on the Elm Street, which is south of the Grassy Knoll. The shots were fired from the (red) Texas School Book Depository building (it has a museum), which is at the corner of Elm and N Houston St.

On November 22, JFK’s motorcade was traveling 10-mile long route through Dallas’s suburban and Main Street in downtown. They turned right on Houston Street at the Dealey Plaza, and then turn left to Elm Street, that leads to of the Stemmons Freeway to the ultimate Trade Mart, where JFK was going to give a speech.

The John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza, is an open-air square formed by white pre-cast concrete columns, designed by Philip Johnson, a block east from Dealey Plaza; and the Dallas County Records Building @ 500 Elm Street.

   

On the Saturday morning we were there, the area is pretty quiet and tranquil, without large tourist groups. Passing by one woman who was preaching conspiracy theory that all Kennedys are dead, includes Caroline Kennedy: it’s a double that we see. Gosh, this is way too extreme.

Frontier Air, F9, 1994


4545 Airport Way
Denver, CO 80239

Frontier Airlines, Inc. is founded in 1994, headquartered in Denver, Colorado. It’s one of the low cost carrier, with 163 planes and 85 destinations, as of 2025; trading on Nasdaq: ULCC, opened at $3.9083 on 2025.6.02. Their tails sport various animals and birds. Ours is two cute penguins.

It’s my first time flying it. Because a tennis partner works for it, I thought why not trying it. I cancelled my AA reservation and switched, then forgot about the name of the airline. When I didn’t receive the checking in email, I’ve to go through my credit card to find the name of the airline.

Can’t download their App because I don’t remember my Apple password … obviously am a very organized person!

It was an A320, leg room is ok. Everything is for sale, which is fine for the short flight. Took off on time, but circulated the destination airport a couple of times to land (this might have been a first too – as the plane was descending, the nose went up twice …), then a bit wait to get a gate. I joked to the Pilot as departing from the plane, “did you guys forget to pay the airport?”

Uber: license plate


Some states have no front license plate.

When the description of the Uber car has the maker, model and the license plate, it mades identifying the car very difficult. It should have the color of the car.

Don’t know if Uber realize this …
