Source: American Airlines Says Turnstiles Will Improve Boarding — They May Just Make Flying Worse

SUMMARY: American Airlines is rolling out electronic turnstiles at DFW to streamline boarding, but experts warn they may add delays and reduce passenger flexibility. The system requires passengers to scan their boarding passes one at a time, which could slow groups and families. With no bypass option and limited staff help, delays at the gate could now take up to 20 minutes during peak times.
