2016, SDF/ DFW airports – It’s amazing how little attention the airport
authorities pay to what they do. For example, both at the DFW Airport and
Louisville Airport, they have replaced a patch of carpet that was worn out; the
problem is the new carpet.
The old carpet still occupies some 80% of the known floor area in the
terminals, but where the two terminals meet, they have replaced it with plush
new carpet.
baggage, it moves smoothly on its wheels on the old carpet, which is commercial
grade and sturdy. But when you hit the intersection,
where the new carpet is placed, and the suitcase either falls, or stumbles
until you catch it. The new carpet
surface is plush and you simply cannot drag the suit case… I have put up with
the crap for far too long, and it is time to inform the people to go back and
place sturdy carpet.
I stood at the terminal intersection as in the picture, and attempted to interview
frustrated passengers, but everyone was running to catch the plane… no one
comes a few minutes early anymore?
But if had carried a sign that announced the name of a TV Channel, I would have
recorded a video of the flooring problem at the two airports. It is too damn
frustrating. I will not take this up with the Airport Authorities and see if
they care. If not, I will have to get that on camera or turn the media people
over there.
two different carpets are seamed together, the carpet behind me is cushiony and
nice to walk, but hard to drag the luggage or run in a hurry, the one ahead of
me is old but great to roll the luggage or dash thru it.
literally cursed when they moved from the old carpet to the new one, the bag
would not move, fall or spin.
