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

Anonymous
DCA has the only direct flight from this area to my parents’ closest airport, so I still use it, but I was already a nervous flyer so it does give me pause.

Don't feel great about it. Booked our August trip out of IAD even though DCA is cheaper and easier. For a funeral next week, we're flying out of DCA bc IAD would be atronomical, but flying home to IAD bc I didn't feel good about arriving at DCA late at night (seems better to fly out of DCA during daytime that arrive at night).

Reagan is great.

Never flown through Newark. What is it that makes it bad?

Ditto!

10. Not at all worried.

Some of you people are unreasonably scared. Oh well, more room for the rest of us.

My son had a round-trip flight in April. I'm OK with it.

No worries flying in and out of Reagan.

I do everything to avoid it. So many delays there now. I forgot on my last trip and ended up having to come home a day later after all the delays into DCA. And this was last month.

This is the only reason I would consider avoiding it. But Dulles and BWI aren't much better and not easy to get to.
