Jake SmithMay 19, 2014Eat before going through security if you're flying out of Terminal A. There are very few options.
BlakMarigoldPro StudioMay 30, 2012Always fly first class so you can get on and get the hell off first
- You can upgrade to first class for just $90 for AA flights at the electronic check-in kiosk.
DCA is basically inside Washington DC, so allow plenty of time to get to/fro. DCA is much more convenient than Dulles, which is in Virginia about 45+ minutes from city center.
If you’re in Terminal A, eat before you go - the food service situation is strange & inefficient.
Travel with your own hotspot! Verizon MiFi or 4G LTE is the way to go!
Make sure you grab a window seat to take advantage of the fabulous views from DCA.
Gate 35A is in Terminal C (makes no sense). Landed in terminal B and couldn't figure out where to go to catch my connection.
The TurtleFebruary 7, 2022Surprised no one has accidentally driven over the statue of that old doof yet.
The easiest airport in the US to get in and out of named after the greatest President.
I'm a local and always heard it called Reagan National. Don't worry tourists :)
Patrick Le FlochNovember 9, 2013Tsa precheck is nice. Security just like in the pre hysterical days.
Most Air Canada and Jazz flights are still flying from ancient A terminal. B is much renovated.
Come for your flight, stay for the complimentary TSA massage or photography package.
Chilly AdelieMarch 24, 2012If you are flying in from AirTran or Suncountry, be prepare to walk really far for the metro
Matt SchaarJuly 5, 2011Einstein's in Terminal B: friendly, fast, modestly priced. Frequent flyer approved!
Fast, free WiFi. A far cry from the spotty, slow service of just a few months ago.
Got "time" in your layover? Hop a cab to Crystal City or subway (we call Metro) to Pentagon City Mall
Us Air has a separate, staffed check in counter for travelers coming in through the metro door. Cool!
Anthony StanyerDecember 5, 2014This airport as a lot of options when you need to change to a different airline.
It's me!January 15, 2012Gate 35A is miserable...there's a flight every 10 minutes and you have to take a shuttle to the plane on the tarmac. Plan to leave late.
Dyna PhotoJuly 28, 2011Try not to fly out of dca during hot temperature days the A/c is broke. And watch out for rats and roaches. I have a friend who works there. She says they have pest problem. I wouldn't eat at the dca.
Ranch 1 has great food! The lite breakfast wrap rocks, and tenders are made fresh daily!
Check out the walkway between terminals for the historic main terminal
Make sure you have cash for cabs. Reagan cab service is third world. Don't expect them to take a credit card. So embarrassing.
Daniel BrumMay 25, 2012Gov should spend some money and renovate this place - it's circa 1955 in the old terminal where Air Canada is.
Jessi VideAugust 20, 2011If you're sleeping overnight in the airport look for the guy that's handing out blankets. It gets pretty cold!
Pierce Graham-JonesJanuary 14, 2012Best airport in the country. I can get off the plane and be home in 15 minutes.
If u have medical equipment/first aid bag it doesn't count toward your 2 carryon items & u don't have to check it... Sunscreen doesn't count as first aid though...
Jake MercurioOctober 24, 2011Are you bored enough to check in on the Tarmac? Remember to pop your Xanax or Ambien!
