I flew through this airport back in February on my way to Egypt. Very clean and lots of options for food, etc.

Reallllly long walk to my gate though. Otherwise it was a really nice airport.

The mobile lounges would be nice if Dulles used them as they were designed. But they don't and Dulles has to be one of the worst airports in the world to use - with Hearthrow a close second. Dulles rapidly outgrew the waiting area and gates for these mobile lounges, so instead of expanding these gates (which they have finally done, but not enough by over 100%) they instead built two "midfield terminals". So all these lounges do is transport you from the main terminal to the midfield terminal, adding 10 minutes to your travel time. It doesn't help that the midfield terminals are so long that you are exhausted if your gate should unfortunately be the last one. And forget about cocktails on the lounge. Today the operators try to cram as many people as possible into these crappy little sardine cans; whatever pleasures you enjoyed while traveling in business class from Frankfurt are rapidly erased as you suffer in this horrid contraption. Worse, the last few times I landed at Dulles the customs queue was so long that we were stuck onboard the mobile lounge for an additional 20 minutes at the gate until there was enough room to get off. Too bad there wasn't a fire marshal on board. The concept behind Dulles airport and the mobile lounges was excellent. It's just too bad that Dulles was built in Virginia, a state universally recognized by its inability to develop its transportation infrastructure in keeping with its unrestrained growth policies. I recommend BWI(baltimore) for international flights. Their terminal is about 30 minutes faster in and out, hardly any queue for security or customs, and a large parking garage inside the terminal horseshoe. The new daily garage is a dream (but they should heat the waiting room) and the new shuttle busses have it right - luggage stands opposite the large double entry doors. Washington National (DCA) is also great if you can find a flight to your destination, and it has better restaurants (including Sushi and a Legal Seafoods) than nearly any other airport. But Dulles? Avoid if at all possible

Tram rides between terminals awful. Long walks to gates, etc. etc. Just plain nasty. Avoid if at all possible.

A great architectural building and a decent place to fly to and from. Several airlines fly there so it's a good option if you're going to the DC-Area. What's bothersome are the oversized trams you need to take to get to the terminals, the walk needed from the parking lot to the terminal and the long lines that develop when going thru security. It also sucks driving from there to DC or where ever you need to go that isnt in Virginia.

Not that great, but does the job. Okay if you live near the airport. Termina building interesting. Very poor connections and total lack of information. Arrival area is a blast fromt the early 1960's, where it should have stayed!

I had to spend the night in this place TWICE because they screwed up. True, they made up for it by bumping me up to first class, but the floors were very uncomfortable

They desperately need moving sidewalks throughout the airport! (Btw, Bush airport is not in DC. National is the other DC airport...)

Ugh. . .it's out in the middle of nowhere. It's convenient to nothing. . .I can't stand it.

Dulles is a nice clean, modern airport, but it's out in the middle of nowhere. I'd much rather fly out of George Bush, simply for the fact that it doesn't take 45 minutes to get to from the city.
