Yup. OP, that was a bad decision made years and years ago. A station actually at the terminal would have cost another $330 million, and evidently that was too much to pay for a station that was actually convenient for travelers.

Hah. No. The airport metro is for staff and commuters to use. [b]Actual travelers are not taking a 70 minute train ride from DC with luggage. [/b]

The original problem was where Dulles was built. [/quote]

That's absurd. Of course actual travelers will do that. Maybe not you, but there are plenty of people who aren't you.[/quote]

I definitely plan to - especially for long international flights.

Walking to the metro from my DC house and then getting on a flight to Paris or Hong Kong after sitting on a train (for just $3!) is going to be so sweet.

Reagan is nice but international flights need a bigger airport.[/quote]

Depending on where you live, it can be quicker to connect through JFK from DCA than to fly out of Dulles, partially because of the distance but also because Dulles is poorly laid out and security is a mess.  Plus a lot of airlines have nicer products out of JFK, especially if you are flying for work and can fly business class.[/quote]
