Dallas, along with the rest of the state of Texas, really needs no introduction. It is after all the place where everything is bigger; big sky country, smack dab in the middle of the land of good cooking.

Texas is arguably the most recognizable American state just by name, and with good reason, Texas’ unique roots as a part of Mexico and as an independent state grant it a unique cultural background. One of the most noteworthy annual celebrations the Texas State Fair, will soon be taking place from September 28th to October 21st. This kind of event is sure to bring tourists and visitors from out of state, so we here at InMotion decided to try and make your transition into the Lone Star State that much easier by giving you our guide to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.

Grab a Bite

Dodge the Airline Food

As a modern airport built to the needs of the modern air traveler, DFW is equipped with the usual breadth of dining options: Applebees’, Au Bon Pain, Auntie Anne’s, Wendy’s, McDonald’s, Chik Fil A, Popeye’s, and Pizza Hut are all present and accounted for. But for the more adventurous traveller who likes to get a taste of the region they’re laid-over in to-go, there are a few veins to mine in Dallas/Fort Worth.

For the fast-food connoisseur, you can try out the Rocky Mountains’ entrant to the regional burger wars with Smashburger in concourse B12. Bite into this Denver, Colorado original and see how it stacks up against the 5 Guys, Shake Shacks, and In & Outs of the world.

For those in search of a little Texas bar-b-que for the road, you can get your fix at the Salt Lick in A16, Sonny Bryan’s in E13, Hickory in B20, or Cousin’s in B13 and B43. You’re certainly not lacking options, though you may be spoiled for choice!

While you’re chowing down why not plug your phone into a mophie juice pack External Battery Case with Wireless Charging for Apple® iPhone® 7 Plus and 8 Plus and top off that battery for the flight? The juice pack will extend the battery life of your iPhone without adding undue weight or bulk. It is  a ‘must have’ for the marathon traveller that plans to go long stretches without access to an outlet.
