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.

It seems to be super popular already. And they are going to add this at more airports.
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!
Oops, thanks!
Alarms are a great idea! Changi Airport has those on the napping chairs.
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. 🙂
Let us know what you think!
I’m flying out of DFW Terminal E today. I’ll have to look for it.
