Antonio GarzaOctober 2, 2017If you have to take an international connection flight, be aware, I took me almost 3 hours to get trough customs.
Thomas MOctober 12, 2013Security check can take a very long time. There is NO fast lane for business or first.
Tip: If you're riding in coach class, then please don't use your Louis Vuitton luggage... It makes you look funny. Save your money and use your Coach brand luggage.
Carine SpiraMarch 14, 2015I've never seen such an obsolete airport. Queues are endless. Immigration takes ages... Patience is a virtue here
Rodolfo UmanaMarch 21, 2015There is a five guys and a chipotle in gates B. Nothing good to eat in gates A
Fairfax Connector now has a bus to the West Falls Church Metro Station at Curb 2E.

$0.50 Shuttle to Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. There's free lockers for luggage too!
Hilary C.June 17, 2010Hungry? Try a Starbucks' blueberry, strawberry, yogurt and granola parfait for a tasty and portable snack. Deelish
Brittany ESeptember 10, 2011This place is ridiculous to navigate. Make sure you have plenty of time between flights to take a tram, a sub, and 20 escalators!
the california tortilla in term c has fantastic breakfast burritos. try the southwest style!
Alberto NgaiNovember 17, 2011Free wifi & nice chairs to relax while you are waiting for your flight..
The 5A bus to D.C. from IAD starts running an hour earlier than the Washington Flyer on weekends. And is cheaper.
If you need a luggage cart. Go out to passenger pick up and grab one left behind. Save yourself $3.
Shane VitriolNovember 27, 2011Paleo food option: Mixed Grill Bowl at California Grill in Terminal C.
Did you know that you can use Uber and get on-demand car service from Dulles?
Flying out of Terminal C? Be sure to give yourself an extra 2 hours for the walk between the train & gates.
Free AT&T WiFi, but don't try to do too much...signal is spotty. Good luck finding an outlet to charge your devices.
Did not see duty free shops, just cafes, food stuffs, books
Great airport. Show up early and plan your arrival around traffic.
ScottSeptember 21, 2011Diamond Lane has become overflow lane and special assistance lane. It can be a nightmare especially if TSA is only running one xray lane.
United airlines may have 6000 flights a day but they have the oldest planes and the oldest crew. Fly Virgin.
Avoid the new train. Takes easily twice as long as the moving lounges through D. iAd is blowing it!
Get a combo massage at the massage bar near gate B67. 25 minute massage for 39.50.
ChilumbaJanuary 19, 2011when arriving on international flights, make sure to checkin duty free liquor while in customs; else domestic security will send you back
If you are going to C20 or higher, it may be faster to take the people mover to terminal D and walk over to Terminal C .
Plan extra time for everything! Everything is a mile away!
ᴡ PearlyOctober 11, 2010If you are going to D gates, don't take the train to the "C and D gates" it drops you off in the middle of the C gates. The other tain drops you off in the middle of the D gates.
I still like the people mover! I feel as though I have to walk a country mile when taking the train.
Great place as long as you don't fly united airlines! Their customer service is very poor!

"Crazy huge bus/train/shuttle. It's a must ride at least once thru Dulles."

"Ignore all previous tips. Several new restaurants and many of the old ones are gone. Much needed improvement. BRB burger has an excellent black bean burger and their other burgers looked good."
John Vinson
