Gui MoaneFebruary 12, 2012If you have time to eat, go directly to Gate B. The Best Restaurants are there.
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!
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.
Riccardo F.October 15, 2017Terrible experience at Dulles on two separate occasions...1.5hr queue for passport control on arrival and then 1.5 hr queue for security on departure. Not a developed world experience by far...
Bronwen JonesNovember 15, 2013Free wifi. Avoid united airlines. Leave plenty of time to get to your gate - you will need it.
Garage 1 parking is $10/day. Not sure how long this will last.
The new security lines and train are excellent, very easy to get around!
First time using TSA Pre-Check...awesome! Shoes on, left laptop in bag. Life is good.
Try flying in an airplane while you're here. Its AMAZING!
Don't forget to take the Red Bull out of your bag(like I obviously did!).
Getting food from the food court. People mover from the international terminal sucks and should be replaced!!!!!!
Get TSA global entry and use the TSA Pre to expedite your security screening. $20 a year for 5 years its a no brainer!
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
Eva 🐾 BanovaOctober 9, 2014Not impressed with the airport. Very few shops stay open 24hours so if you have an overnight flight, you're screwed. There are charging stations which is a plus, but definitively not enough.
Jody Boudreaux, RealtorOctober 31, 2012Learn a new Language for that long flight. Visit Rosetta Stone or call 571-275-0261 + I'll deliver.
The exit from Toll Road Economy Parking is the long way to the Daily Parking garage.
Tip: If you're riding in coach class, then please don't use your Louis Vuitton luggage... It makes you look funny. Save your money and use your Coach brand luggage.

Will finally become a viably convenient airport for DC-area residents once Metro line is finished. Until then, enjoy the long drive.
Stephanie PetrusoJanuary 10, 2014Brought your Maryland library card? Download a book for free at the airport and read on the plane! http://maryland.lib.overdrive.com/
Even though the immigration line is so long, but the staff are quite helpful with the form and information..
William PlanteAugust 19, 2011Gate C28, someone hacked a wireless router and made it open. Free wifi if you don't mind the how. ATT is quite available.
ᴡ PearlyOctober 11, 2010If you are going to D gates, don't take the train to the "C and D gates" it drops you off in the middle of the C gates. The other tain drops you off in the middle of the D gates.
If you need to get between A1-A6 and C28, take the peoplemover/shuttle (that says its just for D) rather than the train. Far faster.
Percy JacksonApril 11, 2013If you look closely, you can see OJ standing by the Hertz counter.. how old is this airport?
Security is a bit slow but customs here is quick and efficient
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.
Erico SouzaMarch 19, 2012Ask for the Subway! It's good eat fresh when you need to wait for the connection.
The people mover is faster traveling from A to C&D the train is just so dreadfull!
Only international airport in the world that can't be accessed by public transport?
Carine SpiraMarch 14, 2015I've never seen such an obsolete airport. Queues are endless. Immigration takes ages... Patience is a virtue here
ScottSeptember 21, 2011Diamond Lane has become overflow lane and special assistance lane. It can be a nightmare especially if TSA is only running one xray lane.
Brad E.March 4, 2011Don't fly through here. Although, be sure and try the Chipotle breakfast menu! Only location in US that has it.
Rodolfo UmanaMarch 21, 2015There is a five guys and a chipotle in gates B. Nothing good to eat in gates A
Chris MeadorsNovember 6, 2010Southwest terminal is tricky. It's in "section" 1 of the four in the only departure terminals. Then it's literally on the back of the area facing the tarmacs, behind the other check in desks.
