Review of American Airlines flight from Dallas/Fort Worth to Sioux Falls in Premium Eco

Continuing my report to Sioux Falls, SD with the flight DFW-FSD heading north.

As I had more than 2 hours to connect I decided to have late lunch / dinner at the FLagship lounge in Terminal D. The connection is quick using the shuttle Skylink that commutes every 2-3 minutes.

My selection. The offer has been renewed since my last time which is good. Most of the proposed items are spicy though - maybe for me too spicy as the pasta was :-|

There are also good wines and a correct champagne (Pipper).

I came back to gate B7 after having eaten correctly and worked a bit. Enough time to see the local AAdmiral Club.

The atmosphere is classic AA, a bit dated in my opinion.

The offer is as always a salad bar, some brownies and cookies, and 1 dish mostly with rice.

Carton and plastic cuttery. 

Boarding was called on time and I headed together with the zone 3 to the second row in the Main Cabin Extra.

Those A319 are an heritage of the US Airways former time. They have about the same space on board but no tablet holder and no USB socket.

Leaving the gate with a bunch of ERJ145 still in use. I love this rockets, pardon me… aircrafts!

Take off to the south.

Service started soon after and no alcool this time as I was driving after landing.

Landing in the middle of… not much and in the dark.

Exit into a very dated airport. But which remains comfy and will all the basics you need. There was an Allegiant flight boarding for Vegas.

Look at these waiting areas - this seems comfy not?

The hall towards airside is not bad at all.

The airport is named as per Joseph J Foss, an a US aviator and governor of SD in the 50's. 

It's always strange for me to see the baggage claim in a public area in most US airports. FSD is no exception to that practice. 

The Hertz counter was just next and I got my SUV to survive on the icy road of our coming snowstorm.
