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

    Avoid the new credential check machines and lines like the plague, significantly slower than having your information checked manually.

    You're lucky if your flight leaves from Concourse B. A, C, and D are simply the most depressing environments of any airport.

    be warned that moe's is NOT moe's southwestern grill and their delicious burritos. I've walked the entire length of the D terminal for nothing but disappointment.

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

    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

    Is it just me, or does the terminal building of IAD look similar to the terminal building of TPE to anyone else?

    Can't believe in the nation's capital airport you still have to use a "bus" to get to the terminal.
