Today is the grand opening of the Gameway video game entertainment lounge at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.
There are two locations: E16 with 22 stations and B42 with 14 stations. Each station has it’s own Xbox with 19 games predownloaded, a 4K TV, noise cancelling headphones and a place to charge your phone and tablet.
It is not free: the charge is $.42/minute or, for this summer, $20 for unlimited gaming, which seems like a great deal if you’re a gamer and you have a long layover. Or don’t mind if you miss a flight….
If you’re in DFW Monday July 2 from 10-11:30am, swing by Terminal E, Gate 16 where Gameway will be celebrating its opening with several gaming characters dressed up like the iconic Halo, the 8 foot metal giant “Reinhardt” and more.

Woah, pretty cool. I’m not a huge gamer, but I know plenty of people that would love to spend some time gaming at the airport. Must also be great for families!
It seems to be super popular already. And they are going to add this at more airports.
Oops, thanks!
That was quite the impressive setup at Gate E16. I’m not a gamer (I did plenty of that in the 70s). My 15-year old son was exhausted from a weekend at Yu-Gi-Oh Nationals, so he didn’t eat to leave his perch at our gate (E7) and see or try it. I asked the manager if they thought about alarms so people don’t miss their flight. 🙂
Alarms are a great idea! Changi Airport has those on the napping chairs.
I’m flying out of DFW Terminal E today. I’ll have to look for it.
Let us know what you think!
