[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm glad I found this thread!  Leaving out of DCA tomorrow morning for work and panicking now about the parking situation.  Will probably book at a nearby hotel and Metro over (I don't trust Uber/Lyft to be on time these days).[/quote]

I've taken Uber to DCA about a dozen times over the past four months and never had a problem. I put in the reservation a day or so before the desired pickup time. Nine times out of ten the drivers arrived early. Only once did a driver arrive right at my desired pickup time.

If you don't have a bag to check, I'd arrive an hour before departure. The longest I've had to wait in security is 40 minutes. Most of the time it's been between 15-25 minutes. Lines are generally longer with the new configuration.

If you have a bag to check, I'd arrive two hours before departure. This will give you more than enough time for the bag check, but it provides you with some padding in case there's a snafu at the check-in counters.[/quote]

Thanks to you and 12:43.  Maybe I've just had terrible Uber luck the past few months, but have had multiple last minute cancellations, and I don't want that added stress.  I'm in MoCo, so it's not a quick trip to DCA.

I ended up booking parking at a hotel very close to the airport, so will take the shuttle or Metro (one stop away).  It probably won't add any more time than circling through the Economy lot would take, haha!  [/quote]
