A Pegase 50 wouldn't fit? Must've been a tiny plane- the only airline I've ever been on where I've had to use a smaller bag was Horizon.
Never flown out of NC myself, but I generally like DFW- American has really convenient Admiral's Clubs by most gates. But my local airport is really pathetic- depite the fact that virtually every major airline flies into SMF, we don't have even one longue (though Cinnabon usually takes away the frustration ).
LOL! I love my airport here in Las Vegas.. It's probably the best I have ever experienced.
I generally like most of the airport clubs/lounges - With AMEX you get into them all for free, even if you aren't flying that particular airline.
DFW is a pretty decent airport.. But there was a threat made to it a few months ago when I was proceeding to my gate.. It was chaos and they made everyone stop where they were and get down on the floor. SCARY AS HELL.
SMF if pretty pathetic, but not as bad as SFO - EW. Cinnabon.. I have to exercise restraint.. The smell is enough to make you want to a dozen of them and eat them in flight.
