Up at 01:30 to get a 03:30 Uber to get a 05:00 flight to Seattle and the American Wine Society conference.
Always have more connections than Dulles if you in the region. Small but service is fast
Always call it National Airport or DCA. Ronald Reagan fired all the traffic controllers there and yet the tools in Congress renamed it after him.
When you're done there, check out Gravelly Point Park and watch the planes take off Wayne's World style:)
Sean O'HanlonNovember 21, 2011Do you care about Energy Security and/or the Environment? Let your airline know via Twitter that you want to fly on domestically produced #biofuels!
DCA > IAD, and it’s not even close. Never had a bad experience at Reagan, and that’s saying something for an airport! TSA Pre-Check comes in handy here.
If you get to Einstein's bagels try the frozen cafe mocha- caffeine plus milkshake!
Travis JonesMay 18, 2013If its late hit Qdoba in terminal A. Great service excellent service and cold cold beer.
If you're riding metro from DC and flying US Airways sit in the rear of the train to be closest to the exit near US terminal. All other airlines towards the front
If you have time, check out the original gates, located between Terminals A and B. Ah, what travel was like before security!
Economy parking FULL!? Check parking status ahead of time at http://www.metwashairports.com/reagan/227.htm
Give yourself ample time to make connections- if your connection flight is in a different terminal you have to go through security to get to it.
GE AviationNovember 15, 2011The western part of the airport was once within a large Virginia plantation called Abingdon, a remnant of which is now located near the airport's Metrorail station.
If you're stuck here for a while, which is likely, get a drink from Dive Guys. Free refills.
there are not different terminals expect for historic A. three piers One Is C usairways B/C is AA Us Ans Jetblue B/A delta and United
Former President Ronald Reagan is a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon and recipient of the North-American Interfraternity Conference's Gold Medal.
Jeannea SpenceOctober 25, 2011The Jack Daniels burger with sweet potato fries at TGI Friday's is awesome! Best airport good ever!
If your boarding pass says gate 45, you akmost always nedd to look at monitors to see where your actual gate is.
Ashley D'ArcyNovember 26, 2011i recommend wearing a long flowing skirt, reading rabbit, run, and eating auntie anne's. (also, five guys has free wifi.)
Maggie AnzardoSeptember 25, 2013For a sweet treat, try the chocolate croissant at the Euro Cafe by Gate 9!- GE AviationNovember 15, 2011A statue of Ronald Reagan was unveiled at the airport on November 1, 2011, outside Terminal A, part of a year-long celebration commemorating 100 years since the birth of our 40th President.
Passengers near the tail of a plane are about 40 percent more likely to survive a crash than those in the first few rows up front
If you have to overnight here, you're screwed. They clear out terminal, meaning you're left to sleep on the concrete floor. Awesome.
New security checkpoint in terminal A! Not bad, and quick even during rush hour on a Friday!
Drew McLellanMay 31, 2013DC is an uber city. You can use uber with cabs or town cars- so easy and convenient!
For fast flavorful food and the better beverage choice, choose California Tortilla when you're waiting in the Gate 35-45 area.
Dollar Thrifty Advantage off site. Take shuttle from middle curb. Wait at least 15 min unless u get lucky!
StephJuly 14, 2012If you're flying out of discount airline terminal A, make sure to buy your reason material and eat in advance. The terminal selection is dismal.
Dan FoyOctober 6, 2016Yeah, it's a fine airport, but if you need a tip to select an airport, you need to adjust your priorities...
The hottest spot in town to wait out your flight delays. Wether it's terrible airline service, weather, or air traffic controller furloughs! And sure...your flight will definitely depart in 20 minutes
Santi CaamañoJune 2, 2015Really confusing to get to the Car Rental area... be extremely careful while reading the signs.
I love this airport...simple, clean & always a quick and painless process.
I love this airport. It's easy to navigate and metro accessible
Kevin GNovember 25, 2010Try ignoring the Orwellian overtones while walking through the security line as the head of TSA tells you on the bigscreen to stay calm as your civil liberties are invaded.
Check out "Arm Candy" kiosk next to Smithsonian. Handbags cleverly made from woven candy wrappers. Visit to get the story behind the design.
If you arrive early for your flight, eat & drink before you go through security. Restaurant options after security aren't nearly as good.
There’s a construction project that could impact your travel. Plan ahead to arrive early.
Dawn GreenidgeMay 6, 2012Google where your going & ask the sweet guy at the info booth how to get there. Damsel in ..... always helps
Henry WillcoxJune 3, 2013If you get here early. You'll wait for your gate to free up. Enjoy the Tarmac.
