Traveller Comments....

"Many people were sleeping on the heating vents along the window" (Vacation Boy)

"How many times do you need to be welcomed into an airport in an hour and a half?!  The announcement telling you to go to the bathroom before you board the plane as you're not allowed to leave your seat 30 minutes after departure was amusing." (Kellie)

Checked this website for advice on DCA sleeping. Concourses close down at 11pm, security ensures people leave when they arrive at gates.

Found the same little area near terminal A. But me and a buddy used a ladder aka garbage can to slightly unscrew CFL bulbs, nice darkness for snooze time. Bring a yoga mat because the floor is hard and cold. Last flights came in around 11pm.

Tell your military buddies that the USO is just around the corner, open til 10pm. USO folks loaned me and other military some small blankets and pillows. Security didn't bother us although there is a worker's entrance and shift change after midnight had a few folks wander in/out. Bring earplugs, this area now has regular 1/2 hr announcements. No TV's in this area.

The rocking chairs are easy for sleeping, or lie on the floor with your legs elevated to relieve swollen/tired feet. Worked wonders.

The last review for this airport was in 2011. Have you been there recently? Tell us about it!
