[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks. We have a car service lined up for a 6:45 pickup so should be to Dulles by 7:15 at the latest (and won't have to deal with parking.) Sounds like we should be ok, fingers crossed.

RE avoiding checking bags - is it realistic to have carry-ons only with the 1-yr-old? We've traveled with him in the ergo a bunch of times. What we'll probably do is: 
 - baby in the ergo on mom
 - carseat in the backpack on dad's back (we may check it out front - we didn't buy him a seat but have had good luck having an extra seat for the carseat the past couple times we've flown so I like to bring it to the gate just in case. I have a feeling that won't happen over the holiday weekend... though as of now the seat between us is open) 
 - diaper bag over mom's shoulder
 - mom and dad each pull a bag
 - mom has a small backpack if needed for stuff we'd want with us (as opposed to overhead) that doesn't fit in the diaper bag - ipad, toys, etc.

We've done one roller bag carry on and the baby but I think this would be the first time we've tried two. [/quote]

That is too much stuff to carry on, with only 2 paid seats.  On the past several flights I have been on, people have been forced to gate check their carryons because so many people are being selfish and bringing on more than they are supposed to (and airline personnel aren't stopping them on it).   With a young child, you will probably be allowed to board first, so if you bring all that stuff--you will be one of the selfish ones.[/quote]
