Washington Dulles International Airport
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Also Dulles is WAYYY more open, meaning you can easily find a quiet place to sit down. National is much smaller and more compact way with limited seating.
- There isn't a $300 drawback. IAD is further from downtown than DCA is, but a few $$ and an hour on the Silver Line will get you there.
- Dulles is further from DC but it is connected to the Metrorail network by the Silver Line.
- I've traveled a couple of times out of Dulles which is a 1.5 hr metro ride for me. It goes by really fast though and is very cheap. I don't even have to change trains, just sit there with my luggage.
- I’d happily save $300 and fly there.

Dulles isn't that bad once you get used to those weird underground train things, plus $300 is $300 - that buys a lot of good food in DC
