J Monique CollierSeptember 24, 2012The security checkpoint in the baggage claim area closed on Sept 5. TSA pre-check should be available Sept 29
Luca EbastaDecember 18, 2011Samsung installed some free charging stations for laptops and mobiles!! Thanks Samsung!!!
Five guys has breakfast here! Awesome if you have a 6am flight and your husband makes you get there 2 hours early. :)
- Mitch EaglsteinApril 7, 2014This airports customs area is worse than a 3rd world country. I have never seen anything more disorganized. Hundreds of people missed flights today needlessly because of it.
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!
Diamond security checkpoint downstairs in baggage claim (between carousels 8 and 10) often has shorter lines.
Miss the people movers. Shorter walk in and out of them than the train, especially for Terminal C.
Drew CorbelJanuary 8, 2011get here little early cause security can be a pain. but new trains inside are cool as heck
Avoid if possible, especially if you have status. Premier line only begins after you wait 30 minutes in the general line. Clearly the people who planned the beltway work here as well.
Jeffrey-Ryan B.February 8, 2011Red Carpet Club if flying United or Continental is worth it! Can you say awesome
Avoid United Airlines, enormous delays are their norm and they obviously couldn't care less. Very depressing after a long haul flight to face 2-3 hour delays on your connection.
Brian MulloyJanuary 9, 2012Going from gate to gate u will do more elevation changes than a downhill skier.
United airlines may have 6000 flights a day but they have the oldest planes and the oldest crew. Fly Virgin.
Jenn ☀October 5, 2013NOT the airport to fly through if you are a QUADRIPLEGIC. And yet again, we sit on an empty plan waiting to be deboarded. #theseguysneedtogettheirdisabilityshittogether #careless #itsbeen30minutes
Virtually impossible to gauge how long the security queue is here, can't tell if design is great or poor
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
I'm sitting at Dulles at Gate A15. Would be nice to check in via the web when your phone has zero battery.
A 2013 report from CDC affirmed that the smoking rooms don't work. Smoke leaks out exposing staff an passengers to chronic low levels of secondhand smoke.
frank strongNovember 2, 2011Free WiFi by AT&T; it is a bit slow, but it works. Could not log into the "Dulles" network. Electrical outlet near gate 30.
Gate Z could be the most depressing place I've been in DC!
Drew AspinwallJuly 2, 2010Don't rely on the PA in terminal A; be 'that guy' and stand by your gate when they announce 1k and global. Nearly stayed overnight because calling boarding 4 was too much work for the night crew.
The LED lighting in gate c is a nice touch and easy on the eyes if u have a hangover.
Dulles is far from DC - cabs are stupid expensive. Try the bus, Metro, and/or Washington Flyer. Way cheaper.
There is a service animal relief area on the walkway between the C and D terminals.
United terminal becomes a zoo at about 2pm. All the international flights begin arriving, and ppl connect to domestic flights. Terminal way too small to handle the large amount of pax
Cat ProvostOctober 3, 2010Ladies! There is a ten minute express manicure shop in Terminal D! Fabulous!
Even if you have priority status or first class status, expect to wait in long security lines.
Trevor BattFebruary 19, 2011They need to give parents traveling with children their own check in line. For their convenience, of course. ; )
Garage 1 parking is $10/day. Not sure how long this will last.
Clearest bathroom is on the upper level, outside security, behind cinabun.
If leaving out of Terminal C keep in mind there aren't many places to eat.
