Lanette WhitehurstSeptember 10, 2013Worst, most inconvenient airport I have ever been to. Don't count on making any close connection, it won't happen. Rude gate agents, unfriendly help. Busses to and from your aircraft, TERRIBLE.
Kristine Andrade-San JoseFebruary 10, 2014they prefer credit cards for when you're paying luggage fees. at least for delta
Love the airport, hate the name - no one utters that man's name that close to the National Air Traffic Controllers Association headquarters. The locals either call it DCA or National.![[RAPH]AEL™](https://fastly.4sqi.net/img/user/32x32/1035743-OYFLVJFXH0WKQD3E.jpg "[RAPH]AEL™")
[RAPH]AEL™September 10, 2011Don't ask for a motorcade. I tried. Being the nation's capital and all...
I hate this airport. It is poorly designed (notably Terminal C), always (extremely) crowded, and flights are almost always delayed.
Michael CorreaMay 22, 2011Never call it National, otherwise people will figure you out as lamo Democrat!
Great airport to bring the kids to meet arriving parent. (but not tonight - sorry Amy!)
Beware that there are separate gate wings with no easy way to go between them. All have separate security. Also TSA security is notoriously slow.
Tammy GordonOctober 13, 2010The US Airways shuttle desk = nicest airline employees. It's like they are pumping Paxil in the air.
Marisa MarieOctober 13, 2010Friendly people are here. Feel free to say "hi" or give a random high five.
It's a long walk from the Metro to Terminal A ...so take the shuttle outside.
Amanda McDonaldMay 26, 2012My plane broke so United is flying one over from Dulles for us, delay = 5 minutes, genius!
Mickey HawkJune 29, 2010Nice 'Power Up' stations at the gate for charging and using phones, laptops, etc.
August WestApril 12, 2013If you have the option of NOT flying thru this airport, then take it. I guess inefficiency is Washington DC's "thing."
Taxi lines are long on Sunday nights. Take Metro if you can.
Basil KarampelasApril 25, 2012Ironic. An airport named for a president who fired all the air traffic controllers.
Naptown 💪 LarryMarch 7, 2012Don't joke with the TSA employees at the security checkpoints, they have no sense of humor. That is unless you WANT to get strip searched. :-P
If you're leaving from Terminal A and took the metro, don't bother waiting for the shuttle bus. There's a walkway from Terminal B that only takes 10 minutes.
Larry ColeAugust 14, 2010If there is a long line for bus at gate 23 its faster to exit the terminal and walk to gates 35 to46 even after going through security again
There really isn't any place for a breastfeeding mom to pump here after security.
