Nothing takes the edge off an early morning flight like the walk of shame breakfast burrito at DC-3 (B gates)
Vino volo in concourse B is fabulous. Intimate seating. Wine flights are good
Tons of united lounge options and if you have Global Entry super fast to clear immigration and customs.
My family lovingly deemed the A concourse "A-gate hell". Always something going wrong here...
Seats in Terminal B are super comfy to sit in...super UN-comfy to sleep in.
The Chipotle in Terminal B across from the Admiral's Club has breakfast options! Instead of rice, there are potatoes and eggs. Chorizo is a meat option instead of steak.
This airport must be the reason why people advise to arrive three hours before international flights. Difficult to get to, slow lines once you do, and long distances to gates.
Ashleigh DavenportMarch 11, 2013Max and Erma's is quick, sit down, decent breakfast on Terminal B. Not a bad pick!
Black bean burger at Au Bon Pain is good even if you're not a vegan
Leave lots and lots of time to clear security. It's very slow. The train doesn't go to the D terminal and doesn't really go to C either, it goes a couple hundred yards past and you have to walk back.
John BSeptember 13, 2016Poorly planned layout. After a long construction period, travelers still need to walk a mile to get to their terminals. Airport workers are rude and don't care to help travelers even basic directions.- Nathan YoungAugust 13, 2011Hit up the motion sensing tangram puzzle in concourse A. Hint: it is not a touchscreen, it tracks your hand movements. Fun times waiting for delayed planes.
Gabriel SeahOctober 5, 2023This airport feels like something out of the 80s, from decor to facilities
From immigration to domestic connecting flights, there's an express lane to the security check on the left side for UA 1st class, global services & crew
US Air has all of terminal Z. TSA PreCheck and a US Air flight from Z make Dulles a tolerable experience.
Jennifer HaackJuly 22, 2018Avoid laying over here if its your first stop in the US. Immigration takes forever, and logistics are horrible. You’ll probably miss your connection...
Brenda TassavaAugust 27, 2011B Gate concourse is excellent! Wander down near gate B73 for a great food court selection.
Mirko PintarAugust 20, 2014Is tough to navigate around the airport. It's not designed as user friendly
Be patient when picking someone from the arrival areas.
Way better than National. Can't wait for the metro line to be finished!
Star Alliance gold members... Check out the Lufthansa lounge in terminal B, especially if you have a first class ticket!
Visiting US? News exchange has prepaid sim cards for your phone/iPhone at News Exchange, near SBUX
The small bar attached to Cosi is awesome! Ask for Mo - he's the man!
#GlobalEntry but flying non #TSAPre airline @Dulles? Go to the Pre gate anyway, they send you (efficiently) through wheelchair gate #ProTip
Andrew KlingelhoferAugust 19, 2014Domestic checking cut off time is 45 min before departure, international is an hour...be early- FatimaSeptember 3, 2012People here are incredibly rude and racist - from united premier to premier security. They picked out every single colored person for extra screening + let every white person through.
Nice. The C/D terminal needs to be rebuilt because it is too small for the huge numbers of passengers using the C/D terminal.
Vino volo at B gates is a nice wine bar. Menu is better than BA lounge.
KorenSeptember 7, 201430 minutes to get from economy parking to security + 30 mins to get thru security + 15 mins to get to your gate. Yeah, plan to arrive 2 hours prior to your flight.
Almost forgot about the shuttles from the check in area to terminals. Add 15 minutes so you don't miss your flight!
Eduardo MagalhãesMarch 29, 2014Signalisation, geography, and processes are terrible but staff from airport (Security, pass control, etc.) very friendly compensates for the failures in infrastructure.
ConnieJanuary 27, 2013Hit the 5Guys in the International Terminal. Nicer and less crowded than the one by the A gates.
More and more IAD travelers are using the Uber Black Car service from Dulles Airport. Get the app at Uber.com
ChdhurryApril 29, 2014Only try to purchase duty free stuff from the terminal you're departing from. Also - five guys at terminal B and there are smoking lounges after security.

"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."
