Delayed flight? Grab a Miller Lite and 1/2 lb. Three cheeseburger medium rare with sweet potatoe fries and be sure to top with jalapeños -- both the burger and fries.
If you are an elite flyer, don't always use the priority lanes. Reagan has an above average concentration of elites, coupled with the fact that this lane doubles as a crew lane.
If you’re unable to select the middle seat when booking your flight, do not book that flight. The flight is most likely oversold which could make for an unwanted adventure when take-off time comes.
Despair if you're in gates 10-22, the TSA lines are double the size of all the other gates. TSA Pre took away lines, so it's working without enough machines
Great place to bring bored kids on a hot day. Watch the planestaxi and take-off in the AC. Of course try to avoid high traffic times out of respect to people actually travelling.
If a guy approaches you near the metro entrances on the foot bridges, claiming he was just released from jail and needs cab fare after being put on the wrong bus, rest assured he's a scammer.
Haven't used Reagan in a while but very slow moving lines & clear under staffing on a Saturday morning don't do it for me. So 2 hrs early for domestic, esp if u use long term parking.
Don't go through TSA and wander into your gate until you need to if you want something to do or eat. There isn't a lot to do (we were in the screening that went to gate 38).
Airport security is a run like the DC government. 6 people standing around, watching one person work. Headphones also seemed to be a security threat and had to be run through an X-ray machine.
