ChdhurryApril 29, 2014Only try to purchase duty free stuff from the terminal you're departing from. Also - five guys at terminal B and there are smoking lounges after security.
Emily NolanDecember 28, 2012Had a delicious veggie bowl at CHIPOTLE for $6.77...plus a $7 patron margarita. deal.
Concourse B is the most airy, open, bright terminal in all of Dulles. Even has a good assortment of food options. If you leave out of A, C, or D, they're a little gloomier.
Bryan AquinoOctober 28, 2010Dunkin' Donuts has an awesome croissant w/ sausage, egg, n cheese. Wish they had DD in Southern CA!.. It's between D4 & D5. :)
The Travelocity Roaming GnomeNovember 22, 2011Hello chaps! During today and tomorrow (November 22 & 23) follow @flyfromdc on Twitter for all of the latest updates on airport conditions and delays!
Will SorensenOctober 24, 2014It's quicker than it has been in the past. The train system is nice. It's on 4 minute intervals.
Grab a Washington flyer magazine and watch the video at baggage claim that explains how Washington DC was designed
Getting food from the food court. People mover from the international terminal sucks and should be replaced!!!!!!
Max WrightJuly 2, 2011If you are a beer drinker, the dominion pale ale is excellent at dominion brew co!
Courtney IveyJuly 7, 2013Signage is really bad at this airport. Once you find a sign, read, and then re-read it to make sure you're going in the right direction.
Thierry LabyreMarch 22, 2014If you arrive in the US via this airport be very very patient....And if then you have a connecting flight plan more than 3 hours....
deekayAugust 7, 2016Most confusing airport ever. No signage. Lots of aimless roaming from one end to the other.
Does anyone know the name of the weird buses with the fins they use here?
Some of the best architectural design moments of any airport in the states..
Five guys has breakfast here! Awesome if you have a 6am flight and your husband makes you get there 2 hours early. :)
Security is super anal depending on who you get. Make sure all gels and liquids are in FAA approved baggies in your carry on luggage
Huge ass airport. Get here early so you are not stressing out. Lines are long at security
Security check is quite efficient here....not as hectic as other airports in the US...
Really aren't we passed this type of boarding at the largest airport in Washington DC
Please follow directions from Your crew members please!!!! We don't make these rules to be difficult. One day you will be thankful if an emergency.
Carina AndersenMarch 26, 2015My least fave airport in the world. International transfer is a nightmare here.
Old facilities, but regularly is not a busy airport. For international arrivals you have to take a weird aerospace truck to get to the migrations area.
Terminal B: have breakfast at Five Guys if you arrive before 6:00 am. One of few places open and they have yummy food.
Dave CutlipNovember 27, 2017It’s an airport as long as you have all your things together it’s not an issue!!
Might I suggest Preferred Access? This airport is always bustling!
James BowenAugust 13, 2018I would not use this airport again. CBP staff are beyond rude and entitled. They act as if visitors are up to something and woe betide you if you are anything but 100% impressed with their authority.
Tyra HilliardAugust 12, 2011Lots of great shops and food in Terminal A. Love the Smithsonian and America! shops.
If you're on gate D, you'll still have to deal with the "people movers". Aside from that, the train system they have is okay.
Gui MoaneFebruary 12, 2012If you have time to eat, go directly to Gate B. The Best Restaurants are there.
ClintMay 12, 2014BA Galleries Lounge closed for renovation. BA and Priority Pass use lounge across from Gate B-44. Opens hour earlier than LH at Gate B-51

Lindsey ButoracOctober 18, 2012Famiglia - expensive (but aren't all airport restaurants?) and YUMMY!! By A3 & A4
Elizabeth MarieNovember 27, 2010It's huge, don't get lost. Take the trains to prevent lots of walking. And eat! There's a great sub shop by get C2!
Shaun CassellsMay 3, 2013Hit and miss on the terminals. The international terminal is very nice. However most are small dingy and crowded. Pay close attention to the Train and bus routes.
