Traveller Comments....

"I was able to sleep comfortably for 7 hours. I would definitely recommend it, especially if you like to wake up to beautiful sunrises." - luis

Recent Review

by Kilroy
It appears that the secure areas close at night, but landside areas remain open. Best sleeping area is a lounge just outside security in Terminal E. Narrow benches but well padded, with other travelers sleeping there. Here's a 360-degree panorama of the lounge! Only negative: A troupe of State Police woke everyone up after midnight asking to see tickets or boarding passes, actively removing those who didn't have them, so you MUST bring printed proof of your flight. BTW: Good public transit from DCA to BWI via bus at the Greenbelt Metro station.

The last review for this airport was in 2007. Have you been there recently? Tell us about it!
