    45 minutes if you're lucky from DC. Plan an hour to get through security.

    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

    For the moment, anyway, Discovery is atop the SCA parallel to the B concourse.

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

    Make at least a 3-hour layover if you have to go through customs here. What a nightmare! And don't plan to buy liquids in duty free if you have a connecting flight!

    Never underestimate the time it takes to get thru Security. It could be 20 or 2 hours. You just never know.

    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.
