How are you feeling about flying out of / into DCA right now?

On a scale of 1 - 10,
1 = Oh Hell No
10 = No big deal


FWIW I'm at about a 7.

Newark, meanwhile I would give a 3.

We do it all the time. I would say 7. Newark I would also give a 3. I do not like this at all.

8-9. I travel every week or two for work and don't have much choice.

I am personally choosing Dulles or BWI. Would not use Newark either.

I have almost exclusively flown out of DCA for 20+ years and am now choosing Dulles unless there is a really compelling reason (like, it's the only direct flight or the only one with times that meet my needs) to fly out of DCA. So I'm probably a 5 or 6.

10. No problems with it. Aside from the delays from ground stops which may bring it down to a 9 for me.

6 or 7 with DCA, probably a 2-3 for EWR. About where you are.

I live in South Arlington so the convenience can't be beat, though I did choose Dulles for one of my flights this summer because I'd be lying if I said I felt totally comfortable. I happened to fly out of town the day of the recent accident and I'd be lying if I said it didn't rattle me.

It's our closest airport and was my preferred, but now no. I am avoiding completely.

5?

I'd schedule a flight out of DCA if it were the most convenient. But I'd think about it while waiting to get on the plane. I wouldn't say I'd be anxious, but I'd be thinking about it.

If Dulles or BWA is equally convenient, I'll choose that flight.

I was fine until we came back from recent trip. Our plane circled around quite a bit before we landed at DCA. I fly frequently and this seemed ‘out of the norm’. It was only unsettling because of the recent DCA issues. Next flight will likely be out of IAD.

I’ve flown in annd out of dca three times in the last few weeks. No problems at all. It will take a lot to get me to choose Dulles.

4.

I used to fly out of it probably 5 times a year and Dulles the other 5, but I will only book DCA if it's really compelling like significantly cheaper or direct flight that isnt available at IAD.
