- No road signs tell you how to Econ Parking from Departure zones. Take Daily Lot 1 Exit, go past it, make a right, next right, next left, then watch for road signs on right. Near gas & fire stations.
Zain M.August 9, 2014There is free Wi-Fi, extremely well maintained with great choices of places to eat.
Nick BentleyJuly 4, 2018A bit of a hike to get there, but pretty good airport. They need to replace the buses you take to the terminals.
California tortilla is a great value. 8 bucks for a huge burrito bowl
Jacob CanfieldApril 21, 2013The "diamond lane" tip in the baggage claim is not always open, so don't depend on it. From start to finish, it took us 46 minutes (timed by my iPhone) to get through security and to our gate in C.
Johnny HammondSeptember 4, 2013Harry's tap house doesn't have a very good list of beers on tap but the Kobe beef burger was delicious
Leo ArmanyJuly 15, 2013If you are in need for any type of limousine, car & shuttle to nd from Dulles airport, Reston Coach Transportation can help. We offer 24 hour airport transportation by luxury sedan, limo & Buses.
The airport is well run and the management and staff are very friendly and helpful
Sometimes hot and nasty, other times cold and clammy...this is one airport that I could scratch off ever visiting again...and never miss it.- ✨Misty WuoriApril 5, 2013Capitol Ground in B concourse is a great spot for a quick breakfast! The staff is so friendly too :)
Arnie KappelerOctober 11, 2016Who says IAD is crowded? Not me. Especially when your flight gets in at 2:30 a.m. Easy out.
- Dulles IAD Airport ParkingJanuary 5, 2022If you're flying in or out of the Washington Dulles International Airport, we are your best alternative for parking at rates much lower than onsite IAD airport parking. Read more
You can use Uber.com to get a black sedan to or from DC. The flat rate of $80 to/from inside the beltway is comparable to taxi fare and is a LOT better service!

KalharbiNovember 18, 2014Great priority lounge ,and nice ice cream place in the middle of the international terminal
Juliana AlvesDecember 22, 2016Few options to eat before you pass security. If you miss your flight you're lost!
California Tortilla located in terminal C. Can even take shuttle to terminal C & walk to Terminal D if that's where your flight is. :-)
I always have enjoyable travels here. Lots of areas to eat or shop for travel essentials.
Anthony Van DetteApril 6, 2015Nice airport. Got to the gate within ten minutes from the time I walked through the front door.
DoubleTree by Hilton ManagerSeptember 22, 2011Long flight? Peanuts are okay, but bringing a filling, healthy snack like almonds or fruit will keep you tied over until your destination. For more travel tips and fun, follow @DoubleTree on Twitter!
Indoor Pet Relief Area across from gate D10. No need to leave security. It's small but sanitary and does the job. All airports should have this.
The Dulles Diamond Security Point referenced in the other tip WAS amazing and convenient for frequent flyers but now they allow anyone so it gets just as backed up as any other checkpoint. So sad...
Santi CaamañoJune 2, 2015Migrations takes waaay too much time! One from standing in the migrations line until I got thru customs. Luckily there's free open wifi.
Heather Peterson ShorbJuly 23, 2012Be sure you know how many stops youre making before you decide to take Super Shuttle. It took forever to get to our hotel! The extra for a taxi would be with it.
Dragos IJune 14, 2014If you take United and get stuck overnight (very likely with United) make sure you pick up an overnight lot from them. Check their luggage claim office.
Wait until after 4:30 and it clears out. Good wine selection. Senator Lounge buffet has hot and cold items.
DoubleTree by HiltonOctober 10, 2011Travel is a great excuse to clean out your purse! Getting rid of clutter in your carry-on bag will allow Transportation Security Officers to get a clear X-ray of your bag and save you time.

Watch out for the "shark-cars". They are so cute! (The white transport busses going from gate to gate)
Somedays I feel like a real ninja and I can do anything I put my mind to. That and the sassy pants don't hurt
Chipotle stopped serving breakfast! Sure their eggs were always mad runny but free range chorizo!? Yum. Drop a complaint to chipotle.com.
Find the PotBelly Sandwich shop in the United Terminal and bring a bag of chocolate chip cookies to your destination. Everyone will love you for it.
If you're TSA Pre and traveling with someone who is not go to pre check and your companion can use the neighboring aisle....faster than the downstairs mess!!!
Airline Geeks / Ryan EwingOctober 7, 2013Check out Daily Parking Garage 2 Level 5 for unique views of the airport.
Even with trains shuttling you to the different terminals, it's still a walk to get from the trains to the actual terminal. Be prepared to pick up your pace!
Tina Go HokiesJune 5, 2013Have a great flight and don't be a stressed traveler! If your flight is delayed, getting angry won't make it un-delayed!
One of the best structured airports allowing incoming & outgoing passengers in one directions. It resembles the Chennai, India airport.
Andre' MosleyJune 23, 2014If you are headed to C-Gates, make sure you get on the last tram. This is closest to the walkway entrance.
Get Global Entry, otherwise get ready to stand in an hour plus immigration line for international arrivals.
Don't take SuperShuttle...you may have to wait 30-60 minutes for a van even with a reservation. Take the MetroBus or WashingtonFlyer bus to Metrorail instead....its cheaper and faster to the city.
AlexApril 6, 2017The "mobile lounges" need to go. There's nothing worse than being the first off a flight only to get dumped out into one of these infernal diesel-fume-filled relics that waits 20+ minutes to leave.
To get to C concourse, take the people mover to concourse D and then walk to your C gate. Likely same or less walking and no trains, escalators or stairs.
People mover for terminal D and the underground train for terminal C. But you can walk between both terminals so grab the least crowded option.
Dane KantnerJune 4, 2010The new AeroTrain between terminals is slower than the "mobile lounge" by 10 mins; You can still take the mobile lounge. If in C/D across from gate D14. On the other side between A/B concourse (A8)
Michael B.June 9, 2012If you have time, take a cab and visit Udvar Hazy Centre, part of the Air & Space Museum just 2 miles down the road!
The terminal designs and distance you will have to walk is extra
