[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The new E concourse under construction now, along with a future F concourse, will replace both C and D concourses.  There will be an airport subway under the new F once it is built.  C and D will be demolished after E and F are opened.

To be honest, the AirTrain is not really faster than the moon buggies were.  It is fastest to walk from Main to B concourse underground, but for some reason MWAA makes that underground walkway to B very difficult to find.  [/quote]

But what has taken so long? I’ve been hearing about “new concourses” since I moved here in 2007. Articles about E concourse seem to gloss over that part. If anything Dulles has lost flights since we’ve lived here. We used to use it more and now find ourselves nearly always at DCA. [/quote]

Yes-demand dropped at Dulles as DCA got more flights. It's picking up now, which means United is more willing to.make the investment in the new concourse. That's always been the issue.[/quote]

DCA is much more centrally located.  And, for my family, while we're willing to drive to Dulles if necessary, we far prefer BWI or DCA.  BWI has more international flights lately too.[/quote]

BWI doesn’t have more international flights than Dulles.[/quote]

Yeah, BWI international flights are pretty scarce.  That’s what happens when Southwest is your dominant carrier.  Baltimore, obviously doesn’t have the international demand that DC has, nor the personal income, but surprised there aren’t a few more international flights from BWI?  Howard County is very affluent and a lot of Montgomery County is closer to BWI than Dulles.  Right now, the only international flights are a handful of flights to the Caribbean and Central America.  To Europe, there is only British Airways to London and a flight or two to Iceland.[/quote]
