Mickey HawkJune 29, 2010Nice 'Power Up' stations at the gate for charging and using phones, laptops, etc.
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.
There really isn't any place for a breastfeeding mom to pump here after security.
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
Try the Einstein Bros Winter Blend Coffee (Terminal B).
Its really cold right now (Dec. 2010) If flying US Airways from RDU, have a coat. You'll be bused to the terminal.
Just got my hands swabbed for potential explosives. Don't be alarmed if a TSA agent rubs what looks like a plastic lint brush across your palms. This is now "normal."
Basil KarampelasApril 25, 2012Ironic. An airport named for a president who fired all the air traffic controllers.
Ebony MMarch 10, 2012The wifi in Terminal 1 is pretty slow so if you have a phone with wireless hotspot, use it.
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.
Ashley ThorsenOctober 30, 2010Take off all metal before going through security. I heard they are doing crotch pat downs now.
Refuel while you're looking for a route, so we don't have to waste anymore time on this plane!
Jetblue now in Terminal A. Renovations for Terminal A in the works, to include concession upgrades.
Hope you paid for preferred access, curb to gate time... 20 minutes
Washington National People! Called it right or they are going to know you are a tourist!
Eric RodriguezDecember 5, 2013Most of the restaurants close at 9:39pm. Good luck finding food after that.
As usual, wifi ain't working. So much for free. Usable would be better.
First flight is 545am us airways agents don't arrive and kiosks dont open till 430
