It’s convenient to most people in the DC area. Maybe not if you live in BFE. I usually just Uber for most trips but the parking situation is way better than IAD or BWI.

The name is not the problem. The most offensive thing about that airport is the mobile lounge / people mover things that they still use, and are about to spend millions of dollars renovating instead of building an underground railway. I literally hate the place because of those things. I don’t hate any other airport, I don’t hate a train or bus station or any other entity. But Dulles sucks so bad- It’s like we have a 3rd world airport in our nations capital, and as soon as DCA or BWI have international flights, I’ll never have to fly out of Dulles again .


Wow, are you unhinged! There IS an underground train there already. And the people movers are no big deal. Dulles is infinitely better than National or BWI.


Dulles is the least used airport in the region, it should be shut down



Now you're just spewing lies as you stomp your feet? Dulles is the largest and busiest airport in the DC area. But you knew that.

Washington Dulles International Airport is located 26 miles from DC in suburban Virginia. Dulles Airport is also the primary international airport for the DC region, with almost 140 nonstop domestic and international destinations on nearly 40 airlines.
https://washington.org/dc-guide-to/washington-dc-airports#Washington%20Dulles%20International%20Airport

It's the busiest airport in the D.C. metro area, with 36 million passengers passing through its halls in 2018. If you're flying internationally, this is probably the airport you should pick, as it has 57 nonstop options to Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America (plus 87 nonstop domestic routes).

BWI has more passengers per year than IAD and DCA. Clearly you're stupid.


I’ve provided citations. Where are yours? You have none so you resort to lying. As usual.



Neither of these two, but DCA is the busiest, followed very closely by BWI, followed by IAD. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_busiest_airports_in_the_United_States

The underground train serves only 1 terminal, and does not move any of the passengers on international flights. They should have built the underground train for the entire airport, but didn’t due to cost. Now they are about to waste millions refurbishing the people movers. As someone who flies frequently, there is literally no other major airport in the world that makes passengers get off a plane and then have to wait in line, board one of those things, wait around 10 more minutes for the stragglers coming off the plane to get on, be crammed inside, travel across the tarmac and then wait to get off again, all before you’ve even gone through customs. It is a 3rd world airport.


Flew into Schipol in June, had to go down the stairs, crowd into a bus, ride to the terminal and then begin the mile long walk to customs. I don’t love the Peoplemovers, but yes, there are other inconvenient airports.

Because you wouldn't be living the good life we enjoyed in the United States without the diplomacy of John Foster Dulles, nevermind the world saving done by his brother.
George Washington owned slaves and was married to a woman whose progengy raped his slaves and married Robert E. Lee.
Abraham Lincoln has the Lincoln Memorial which is a much more significant than Dulles International Airport.
Barach Obama has nothing to do with aviation.
John Warner served in the Navy on boats and not in the air.



Thought exercise - what would your life be like without George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and other founders? Show us your education…

That people mover after international flights is the real problem. This poster gets it.

Naming it after GW would have (and still would) caused confusion with DCA. There is now at least one airport that incorporates the name of Abe Lincoln — and a few other with a city name of Lincoln.

I’m a firm believer in generally not naming something after someone until 50+ years after that person’s death.


Why not name it after: RFK, MLK, J. Edgar Hoover, Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, Northern VA, Virginia, or Frederick Douglass


What a weird list.

Better for what? I hate Dulles, and prefer —by far — BWI. BWI is small and efficient. Not a great place to hang out, but great for direct flights.
