etta yOctober 8, 2010You can make Super Shuttle reservations online. It's easy, you can't miss your ride, and it costs about half the price of a cab and takes half the time of the train (when going to Bethesda).
Briana BaileyJuly 11, 2019No a/c, super hot and it took forever to get to the far D gates. The train dropped me at the beginning of the C gates and so you have to walk all of the C and D gates with no moving walkways
I always have enjoyable travels here. Lots of areas to eat or shop for travel essentials.
KalharbiNovember 18, 2014Great priority lounge ,and nice ice cream place in the middle of the international terminal
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.
Watch out for the "shark-cars". They are so cute! (The white transport busses going from gate to gate)
✨Misty WuoriApril 5, 2013Capitol Ground in B concourse is a great spot for a quick breakfast! The staff is so friendly too :)
Tom isaanOctober 14, 2018They remove bags from the carousel, so looking for you baggage make sure to check the bags in the floor
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.
Home away from home. Use Gate Guru app to find shops, restaurants near your gate.
Antti KoskenroutaAugust 12, 2011If you need to ride one of the shuttle buses to immigration/customs, stay by the entry door for a swift exit. That'll help you in getting in front of the crowd in the passport check lines.
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.
Lots of walking, but now that they finished the rail connecting gates, it’s better.
If you are TSA pre-check, you may have the option to try CLEAR for free.
Aniya NelsonApril 17, 2019wear comfortable shoes in case your terminal is far. and I mean reallllllyyyy comfortable
Security here is a well coordinated ballet, but there's a large mix of nationalities, which make for long wait times during rush hours. Be smart and arrive early.
NanaSeptember 17, 2016The train thing is really weird. Airport is old and so there isn't much there. If you're at D gate go to potbelly sandwich and get an Italian 😋
Chetu19September 5, 2017Pretty massive Airport. Removal of footwear is mandatory. Also have beauty products lesser than 100ml.(Sunscreen,face wash, Shampoo)
Peter EegFebruary 14, 2014JetBlue continues to be the easiest way, and cheapest way, to get to Southern Calif. Early flights are nice.
Pomona ValeroApril 30, 2012The shuttle to the Air Space Museum is 0.50 each way. $15 + tip for a cab. Shuttle leaves every 45 min & the museum closes @5:30 these days.
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.
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!
Low JamesJanuary 13, 2012Five Guys has the best cheeseburgers. There's two locations: one in Terminal A and one in Terminal B. If you plan to have fries, you're better off with a single patty.
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.
Be extra early and get Global Entry/TSA Pre-check to save yourself some time.
Andrew CJune 2, 2016Second only to maybe Philly INTL for grossest airport in the country. Trash and grime on everything. Unidentified stickum on the seats. Unacceptable.
This is one of the only Five Guys locations that serves breakfast. And it's amazing(ly self-indulgent).
Melissa AugustineSeptember 14, 2010If you have a long layover go to the air and space museum. 12 minute shuttle ride from airport 1 USD round trip and soooo much more interesting than staring at a billboard
Dulles is located at 1 Saarinen Circle, named for it's architect, Eero Saarinen. If you stop by DAG you'll see several pieces designed or inspired by Saarinen like our "Conversation Pit."
Abdulmoez TahmazMarch 30, 2018If i will travel to US again, i will go through this airport because of the fast process to go inside US
Aaron DancygierMay 1, 2014If you need to get to Arlington take the metro 5a it's a six dollar ride that will save you 50.
EzgiJuly 9, 2017It is so cool that train is used for arriving to gates.Small and lovely airport.Loved it☺
- 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.

Those mobile homes on wheels that are driving around the airport are known as plane mates or mobile lounges. To me, they're known as a pain in the ass.
DC Social Sports ClubMarch 3, 2012Good riddance to the monster trucks but it's still a hike between the check-in counter and your gate. Dress lightly and prepare for a workout.
The airport is really large, but the signage will keep you moving in the right direction without having to stop.
Take the Washington Flyer shuttle ($5) to the Silver line metro (~$6) to get downtown.
KrisJune 11, 2013If you're in concourse B, there's a chipotle. Or if your flight is delayed and need to unwind, go to vino volo for some wine.
Harry LópezDecember 29, 2018Make sure to read the signs when you getting out, I ended in departures when I was arriving
Frankly, the old people movers are faster to C gates than the new train. Take it if you can.
Tim StreetJune 8, 2013If you are heading to The Cable Show & are interested in dynamic video ad insertion across connected devices swing by CableNet & see us @mDialog
SamsoniteMay 3, 2011Traveling with a furry friend? Dulles International Airport has 5 locations for pet relief. These fun locations have K-9 grass, a white picket fence, and a fake fire hydrant.
Can be overbearing in appearance, but modern and great food options everywhere.
Luiz AraujoMarch 17, 2013Leaving Washington DC to the airport by metro + shuttle? Leave at least 4 hours ahead or you may lose your flight!
Anthony Van DetteApril 6, 2015Nice airport. Got to the gate within ten minutes from the time I walked through the front door.

"Crazy huge bus/train/shuttle. It's a must ride at least once thru Dulles."

"Ignore all previous tips. Several new restaurants and many of the old ones are gone. Much needed improvement. BRB burger has an excellent black bean burger and their other burgers looked good."
