Plan extra time for everything! Everything is a mile away!
I still like the people mover! I feel as though I have to walk a country mile when taking the train.
Worst thing is having to take a train to the gates AFTER you go through security... never seen anywhere. Even premier access security lines are long. A1 to A5 take forever to reach.. and 4 escalators
There is a dunkin donuts after security. Follow the signs toward D gate and you will see it after the escalator. Then backtrack to train. Its really not very far.- Jeffrey-Ryan B.February 8, 2011Red Carpet Club if flying United or Continental is worth it! Can you say awesome
Beware gates 6A. There are six of them A-D but only two entrances labeled 1 and 2. And no where that lists the destination!
Absolutely the worst airport in terms of assistance for the disabled. Planes load on the tarmac & even though your tickets say, days in advance, that there needs to be a ramp & not stairs, no ramp!
R DAugust 9, 2013feel like missing your connection? If yes then this is the place for you. 'murka.😒🇺🇸
Krystal HendricksJune 3, 2012The shuttle from A to D is a bit archaic. Where is the actual tram/train or anything that looks like an army tanker.
Trevor BattFebruary 19, 2011They need to give parents traveling with children their own check in line. For their convenience, of course. ; )
Take the Washington Flyer bus to West Falls Church Metro. 20 mins, $10 one-way/$18 rt. Leaves 2x/hr from between doors 3 and 4 at baggage claim.
Dulles is far from DC - cabs are stupid expensive. Try the bus, Metro, and/or Washington Flyer. Way cheaper.
10am on a Monday and only one security lane is open...something needs to change.
AJ SwobodaJuly 26, 2011Chipotle open right next to train station in terminal B -- opens very early in the morning.
The LED lighting in gate c is a nice touch and easy on the eyes if u have a hangover.
Luca EbastaDecember 18, 2011Samsung installed some free charging stations for laptops and mobiles!! Thanks Samsung!!!
Diamond security checkpoint downstairs in baggage claim (between carousels 8 and 10) often has shorter lines.
Kevin LokaisinghFebruary 24, 2014Was never able to leave the gates, and because of that, my visit to Dulles was boring as hell. Was in the C section of the gates and it was just blah. That being said, hope to have a better trip here.
International departures area is great! The rest is ok.
DO NOT request an uber for a short trip. The ubers need to wait four hours and they will cancel your requests.
Io As SoonJuly 18, 2017Not the better airport we used but in the Air France business lounge the time hoes better
Finally the Aerotrain is up and running! If you in D, consider a walk to C to ride it over the mobile lounge.
Nice airport, officers but flight has been delayed for 4 hours
Diamond check in is no more. Still a shorter one on the first level though
Even if you have priority status or first class status, expect to wait in long security lines.
UAL is starting to board it's flight super early, if their airplanes are there. Just ran thru the terminal.
Survi KyalMay 23, 2013Missed my connecting flight because of the previous delayed flight.. Thought I might still make it.. Ran from A to D only to realize that my flight took off 5 minutes earlier.. errrrghhh..
Venny F. VenistineJune 28, 2013How very slowly processing of immigration security checking inspection heree... Huuffttt....
Juan RiosOctober 7, 2011I remember riding on the weird people movers. The new trains are a vast improvement!

"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."
