Opt Out! The backsetter X-rays in use here have been banned in Europe and elsewhere for many health risks including risk of cancer.
Try flying in an airplane while you're here. Its AMAZING!
Riccardo F.October 15, 2017Terrible experience at Dulles on two separate occasions...1.5hr queue for passport control on arrival and then 1.5 hr queue for security on departure. Not a developed world experience by far...
Even though the immigration line is so long, but the staff are quite helpful with the form and information..
The new security lines and train are excellent, very easy to get around!
First time using TSA Pre-Check...awesome! Shoes on, left laptop in bag. Life is good.
Marques StewartOctober 9, 2014So instead of having a mono rail, Dulles has military grade transport vehicles.
The exit from Toll Road Economy Parking is the long way to the Daily Parking garage.
Paul RasmussenFebruary 20, 2017Ugh good lord... this place is just depressing (and has been for 20 years). At least it now has a chipotle!
Terry IrvingNovember 13, 2014How can they still call the number announcement about baggage 'a special announcement'?
Get TSA global entry and use the TSA Pre to expedite your security screening. $20 a year for 5 years its a no brainer!
I'm sitting at Dulles at Gate A15. Would be nice to check in via the web when your phone has zero battery.
Don't let the beautiful main terminal deceive you: the airside concourses are a piece of shit.
If you need to get between A1-A6 and C28, take the peoplemover/shuttle (that says its just for D) rather than the train. Far faster.
Will finally become a viably convenient airport for DC-area residents once Metro line is finished. Until then, enjoy the long drive.
Garage 1 parking is $10/day. Not sure how long this will last.
Only international airport in the world that can't be accessed by public transport?
Brad E.March 4, 2011Don't fly through here. Although, be sure and try the Chipotle breakfast menu! Only location in US that has it.
Security is a bit slow but customs here is quick and efficient
Percy JacksonApril 11, 2013If you look closely, you can see OJ standing by the Hertz counter.. how old is this airport?
Stephanie PetrusoJanuary 10, 2014Brought your Maryland library card? Download a book for free at the airport and read on the plane! http://maryland.lib.overdrive.com/
Don't forget to take the Red Bull out of your bag(like I obviously did!).

Jody Boudreaux, RealtorOctober 31, 2012Learn a new Language for that long flight. Visit Rosetta Stone or call 571-275-0261 + I'll deliver.
Erico SouzaMarch 19, 2012Ask for the Subway! It's good eat fresh when you need to wait for the connection.
Bronwen JonesNovember 15, 2013Free wifi. Avoid united airlines. Leave plenty of time to get to your gate - you will need it.
The people mover is faster traveling from A to C&D the train is just so dreadfull!
Chris MeadorsNovember 6, 2010Southwest terminal is tricky. It's in "section" 1 of the four in the only departure terminals. Then it's literally on the back of the area facing the tarmacs, behind the other check in desks.
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.
frank strongNovember 2, 2011Free WiFi by AT&T; it is a bit slow, but it works. Could not log into the "Dulles" network. Electrical outlet near gate 30.
Eva 🐾 BanovaOctober 9, 2014Not impressed with the airport. Very few shops stay open 24hours so if you have an overnight flight, you're screwed. There are charging stations which is a plus, but definitively not enough.
MahoganychildJune 4, 2013If you are traveling to Dulles from the DMV, don't forget to use the airport lanes to avoid paying tolls..
Umman KhawajaAugust 4, 2014Before proceeding to customs, make sure u flush any drugs or narcotics at the public restroom.

"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."
