What a name

Well, that was a part of Saarinen’s 1950s vision of the “airport of the future” - they were originally designed to take passengers directly from check-in counters to their plane in a “relaxing atmosphere of a lounge”. You can still see all the original docking areas right behind the airlines’ counters - but that was decades before all the screening we have to go through today. Good summary here:  [url]https://www.ashburnmagazine.com/features/mobile-lounges-are-a-unique-part-of-dulles-internationals-past/[/url]

It seems like OP was going to their domestic flight - still awful but initially I was thinking it happened after deplaning from a transatlantic flight (the only time when I use them), [b]that would have been a terrible “welcome to America” after an exhausting long flight. [/b]

Hope OP does not have any serious issues from the accident and will be compensated for the stress and inconvenience. [/quote]

I think about this all the time. Even if they don't crash, they are terrible "welcome to America" experiences, right! Also the crap bathrooms all airports seem to have in Luggage level. So dismal. With the crap vending machines. Not to mention the filthy customs halls in Newark, Philly, Dulles, east coast etc. [/quote]
