Sounds horrible. We had a flight out of the Dallas airport, and most of
the restaurants were closed before 8:00pm. We found a BBQ place that
was still open, and right after we got our order they closed. They told
the next people they were closed, then they stared at as as if we did
something wrong. Sorry. :-( We had a flight out of the Shreveport
airport, and their food service was at 7:00pm. We had to eat food from
a vending machine. We are flying out of Shreveport again in January, and
I am bringing my own food. Sonsabitches... lol


Oh yeah, what to bring on the plane. You can bring pizza, tacos,
biscuit sandwiches, hamburgers and salads, but the condiments have to be
on the food, or in packages less than 3 oz. Try to avoid anything
smelly like sardines or boiled eggs. I usually take almonds to snack
on. Have a nice flight.
