Sean O'HanlonNovember 21, 2011Do you care about Energy Security and/or the Environment? Let your airline know via Twitter that you want to fly on domestically produced #biofuels!
Really aren't we passed this type of boarding at the largest airport in Washington DC
William PlanteAugust 19, 2011Gate C28, someone hacked a wireless router and made it open. Free wifi if you don't mind the how. ATT is quite available.
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.
Parit YadavJuly 29, 2013Shared cab service is excellent. Cabbie drops you to the door and does not ask for a tip.
Copa says it’s in section 3, but go in through the section 2 area.
Don't forget to take the Red Bull out of your bag(like I obviously did!).
Andrew KlingelhoferAugust 19, 2014Domestic checking cut off time is 45 min before departure, international is an hour...be early
If you're flying out of C, D, or Z and have some time, take the train to A or B for better food/shopping options.- 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.
Max WrightJuly 2, 2011If you are a beer drinker, the dominion pale ale is excellent at dominion brew co!
Harry's has it's own amber ale and is only place outside of security to meet for cocktails
WaltMay 19, 2011Want to see happy? Go to baggage claim 15 and watch the international flight reunions and the kids play with racial blindness and kindness.
Marques StewartOctober 9, 2014So instead of having a mono rail, Dulles has military grade transport vehicles.
Krystal HendricksJune 3, 2012The shuttle from A to D is a bit archaic. Where is the actual tram/train or anything that looks like an army tanker.
Shane VitriolNovember 27, 2011Paleo food option: Mixed Grill Bowl at California Grill in Terminal C.
$0.50 Shuttle to Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. There's free lockers for luggage too!
Does anyone know the name of the weird buses with the fins they use here?
Take off your Nike FuelBand or Fitbit at TSA pre. Detectors are super sensitive.
Try flying in an airplane while you're here. Its AMAZING!
Way better than National. Can't wait for the metro line to be finished!
The Travelocity Roaming GnomeNovember 22, 2011Hello chaps! During today and tomorrow (November 22 & 23) follow @flyfromdc on Twitter for all of the latest updates on airport conditions and delays!
Carina AndersenMarch 26, 2015My least fave airport in the world. International transfer is a nightmare here.
To print your united boarding pass - Go to Ground level - you have kiosks there near the exit (close to the hotel phones)
deekayAugust 7, 2016Most confusing airport ever. No signage. Lots of aimless roaming from one end to the other.
#GlobalEntry but flying non #TSAPre airline @Dulles? Go to the Pre gate anyway, they send you (efficiently) through wheelchair gate #ProTip
Rick BlairMay 8, 20105 Guys Burgers near gate A5. Almost ad good as In-N-Out. Fries are better. Try the grilled hot dog.
Terminal B: have breakfast at Five Guys if you arrive before 6:00 am. One of few places open and they have yummy food.
Try either Vino Volo location for a pleasant glass of wine and break from the bustle.
5 guys airport pricing will make you gulp. $3.50 plus for little hamburger.
Derek JonesSeptember 4, 2014The layout of the airport is not that great for guests. Prepare to run if you have a short layover.
Marcelo VellosoApril 9, 2015They've really sped up the security checkin if you're lucky enough to get in the faster lane.
Beware gates 6A. There are six of them A-D but only two entrances labeled 1 and 2. And no where that lists the destination!
Don't let the beautiful main terminal deceive you: the airside concourses are a piece of shit.
US Air has all of terminal Z. TSA PreCheck and a US Air flight from Z make Dulles a tolerable experience.
Opt Out! The backsetter X-rays in use here have been banned in Europe and elsewhere for many health risks including risk of cancer.
Five Guys at Terminal A - the little burger is enough for all but the hearty appetites
Umman KhawajaAugust 4, 2014Take silver line express shuttle in upper pick up ramp, not the lower ramp for hotel/rental shuttle.
UAL is starting to board it's flight super early, if their airplanes are there. Just ran thru the terminal.
