Airline travel can be stressful anytime of the year. This is especially true during the any Holiday Season when we try to get home to our families or head out on vacation. DFW International Airport hopes to make traveling less stressful with new passenger amenities and shopping options that will accommodate millions of guests at the Airport and make gift purchases and relaxing easier than ever.
If hectic travel has taken a toll on your trip, new massage chairs from First Class Seats will recharge your muscles as well as your laptop or mobile phone. The chairs recline, massage and feature headphones tuned to relaxing music. The chairs are also equipped with outlets for charging all electronic devices and are available now in Terminal C with locations throughout the Airport in the near future.
The new high-tech automated retail systems will sell electronics products, offering travel accessories ranging from iPods to headsets. Zoom units will also dispense Neutrogena products and items from Proactiv Facial Care. The 13 machines offer items from $5.99 to $299.00 and are accessible to passengers at all times, giving after-hours passengers new buying options.
Another enticing new option is the Buckaroo Tax Free store in International Terminal D. Once off-limits to domestic passengers, Buckaroo has dedicated the lower level of the D14 store to all passengers, who can now shop for their favorite fragrances, cosmetics, fine leather goods and unique gift ideas. Buckaroo will pay the sales tax on those items.
L'Occitane, located at D16, recently opened featuring bath and skincare products from the south of France. The store works with growers from the Mediterranean to create unique scents and textures, featuring the influences of lavender, honey, neroli flowers and organic verbena. L'Occitane products are also labeled in Braille, allowing the sight-impaired to make informed choices while shopping.
The smell of fresh-popped gourmet popcorn - featuring six different flavors - now fills the air around The Grove, which recently opened at Terminal D near Gate D21. In addition to the popcorn, passengers can enjoy an array of frozen dessert beverages and a choice selection of The Grove's popular dried fruits and natural snacks, all in an old-fashioned soda fountain.
One of the new success stories at DFW is Rosetta Stone, which offers acclaimed foreign language instruction CDs. Rosetta Stone, which has been used by thousands of schools and corporations for fast, easy-to-use instruction, now has kiosk operations at gates B10, C19 and E11: the Terminal C location is the company's most successful airport location in the United States.
New Zoom vending locations are:
Terminal A Gate 13 and 17
Terminal B Gate 12 and 29
Terminal C Gate 2, 8, 11 and 13
Terminal D Gate 21 and 24
Terminal E Gate 33
First Class Seats new locations are:
Terminal C Gate 6, 11, 15, 17, 20, 24 and 27
Terminals A, B, D, and E will be installed shortly
"Our goal is to make the passenger experience as enjoyable and efficient as possible, which is certainly a priority during hectic travel times," said Kevin Cox, DFW's chief operating officer. "We believe these new amenities across all five of our terminals will be a real treat for travelers and make our Airport even more attractive for everyone from families to road warriors who need to make the most of their airport time."
