DFW: The Land of Giants (Made of Metal)
DFW sprawls across a whopping 17,207 acres. That's more land than Manhattan! Imagine fitting all those fancy shops and sky-high apartments into an airport. Crazy, right? You could practically grow your own farm fresh kale in between terminals (though the TSA might have something to say about that).
Fun Fact: DFW is the second-largest airport in the US by land area, coming in just behind the massive Denver International Airport. Maybe they're having a competition for who can fit the most airplanes in one place? We're not sure, but we're here for it.
