    Vino Volo in the new B is pretty, tasty (and slow unless you're at the bar, but maybe that's the point)

    NOT 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

    Check your gate ahead of time to see the food options. Wait times range from the worst I've seen to almost nothing, and not always predictably. Arrival times a joke, add 1 hour

    Relax at the massage bar at gate B65. Great massages. $40 for 30mins.

    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.

    Security is extremely slow here. Allow an extra hour or more. C and D terminals area dumps. Get food before you come.

    Don'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.

    Note to AA Admirals Club members, IAD does NOT have a club. The gate agents didn't tell me if that would change in the future.

    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.

    This 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.

    First time flying US Air out of Z gates. No food or drink other than Subways (yuck!) but they're just past security (seating is limited though).

    I think it's time to quit United. After 7 years flying with them they now charge baggage even for frequent flyers. Virgin can have my money.
