This airport is easily accessible by metro. If you're flying domestic it's worth considering.
Paul HornJuly 23, 2013Would be helpful to label gates like every other airport in the country with a Concourse letter in front of the number (i.e. Gate C41).
Wendy SoucieMarch 23, 2012If here wk 3/23 be sure to go to the cherry blossum festval near the tidal pool
Victor CFebruary 28, 2013Each wing of gates has different restaurants, but you need to go through security to get to them.
This is the best city airport to fly in and out esp compared to Dulles or BWI. Security lines are minimal.
Your 4th amendment rights are violated here by the TSA. Understand the issue, and defend your constitutional rights:
USAIR or Regan airport just sent us through terminal C then through security only to have us go outside and get in a bus and go back to terminal B! What a bunch of idiots! If your gate 23-27 ur next
Eric RodriguezDecember 5, 2013You have to go through security again if you are switching between US Air and any other carrier.
John CesaroneOctober 25, 2013If your rental car is from Advantage, do NOT follow the rental car return signs!
Andrew GonzalezOctober 10, 2013The Reagan national Wi-Fi is way faster than AT&T's Wi-Fi. Ping 384; down 7.91 Mbps versus 473/0.23.
Brittney BryantApril 24, 2013I hate connecting at this airport! Shuttle to the other side? Dumb! Nobody's got time for that. However you get to see dc which is nice :)
Love the huge windows and flying with the river. Hate the looooong lines at security!
Richard LutzAugust 28, 2011Buy Starbucks before going through security. Take a minute to enjoy it. There isn't one on the other side. (At least near the Alaska gates.)
Nadia ChilmonikMarch 7, 2015There is no good breakfast choice especially when lines are long. Either eat breakfast first or go for the cheap McDonald's breakfast. At least they aren't stealing your money lol

When landing to the south, you're treated to a truly beautiful sight off the left-side of the aircraft.
Very convenient airport in the heart of downtown. So nice to have your airplane at your fingertip :)
Jay ChittenipatJuly 29, 2010US airways do not board by zones, they do it by seat numbers! So donkt be happy if you are in zone 1, u will prob board last :-)
beware of tips at DCA. i tried to kiss someone and got the tar beat outta me. thanks, Dale Chumbley
Unless you're a preferred flier don't think being a minimalist will get you through the security line any quicker.
Great food places to eat before going through security!
If you see an Aussie, give him a Huge hug and kiss!
This is a great place to get on airplanes that take you away from Washington DC.
It's not rocket science. Don't try to take all your personal possessions through security. Check the bag and make it easier on everyone.
Terry StarrApril 28, 2012Always bring a coat - no matter if they tell you it's 70. Cuz the sun's not out and well, ya know.
Very pretty airport in the morning, with the sun coming in. (At least Terminal C is...)
Close to downtown. A bit pricier than Dulles and BWI but way more convenient.
Clearly, Foursquare suffers from glitches of moronic proportions! Keeps telling me my device thinks I am too far away when I am standing in the place!
Chris KlockeJuly 19, 2013Please add more plug ins & charging stations. Otherwise its a great airport.
🌸Kiesha Speech 🌸September 26, 2011Don't forget to tip the outside baggage handlers and check-in agents. They can accept them now, too.
Free wifi and some of the beat TSA in the nation. Flying from here is awesome- Short layover? Hop on the metro and visit the mall or downtown DC!
Fares seem to be significantly cheaper for government travelers from DCA than at IAD or BWI. And TSA lines are short and Metro takes you there.
Andrea BelliAugust 6, 2012If your flight is at gates 10-14, eat at the national grill, instead of stopping at Mc Donald
One of the best approach views you'll get if you come in over the city- Chris EricksonDecember 22, 2015Worst TSA agents, ever. And that is a high bar to raise. Today, heard one of the agents at the American Airlines screening checkpoint tell a traveler to "Stop being an Asshole."
So much more convenient than IAD. Oh and skip the Dunkin Donuts; they're terrible here.
