I've been using this airport for many years and I can honestly say that they have dramatically…read moreimproved the experience. All the construction is essentially done and everything is much more spacious. The gates are easier to access with the new bypass corridors between security checkpoints. There are more spacious seatings across the entire airport. Food options are slightly increased. Baggage claim seems to be better now than it used to be. Although honestly, I almost always try to use carry-ons only these days. Still only seems to have maybe one first class lounge in the international section. Not sure if there's a first class lounge elsewhere in the airport.

The airport was busy, as always, but you can tell they're constantly improving to keep everything…read moremoving smoothly. Security was especially impressive -- we went straight through without removing shoes, belts, or pulling laptops out because the new scanners handle everything with much better accuracy. It made the whole process faster and less stressful. Inside the terminal, the biggest thing they still need is more service‑style restaurants. There are plenty of fast‑food spots, but not enough places where you can sit down and be served. We chose Silver Diner for that reason, and it ended up being a great choice. Good service, good food, and a calm break from the airport rush.

BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport - You don't often get this view when connecting at this Southwest hub. This is the "spine" with the swoopy roofs, including food concessions.

Given my Southwest loyalty and my love of direct flights, when I venture into DC, I usually end up…read morecoming by way of DCA/Ronald Reagan. The airport is fairly small, and can get pretty congested during busy times, but that is legit any airport at this point...good thing with DCA is it is fairly well laid out, thoughtful with the restaurant and shopping options, clean, and in good condition for an aging and busy airport. Getting to and from is easy as well. The ride share areas is easy to find and as long as everyone follows the lay of the land, getting scooped up or dropped off is not a big hassle. While I usually do not take advantage, the Metro is available here and is easy to navigate to and from. Security for the terminals was easy to navigate and did not take long at all, especially for pre-check. Overall, DCA is a my go-to airport when flying in and out of DC, especially when Atlanta or Nashville are on the other end of my flights. Always easy with solid flight schedules.

Welcome to the list of airports I'll never stop in again, DCA! Multiple TSA security checkpoints is…read morea new idiotic thing I never needed to experience. Hopefully if anyone does have to stop here, you won't have a layover AT ALL, especially in Terminal A - because if you do, you'll have nowhere to walk to, one restaurant and one bar (drastically overpriced of course) to choose from, and cramped spaces wherever you settle on sitting! If you want to walk or have a variety in food & drink, you'll have to go through another TSA, then back again through Terminal A's TSA when you're ready to return. The only reasonable excuse I can think of for this is that they have doors to the outside in between terminals. Still it's horrible layout planning aaand there is always opportunity to fix it... but whatever DCA. Also in that lovely A terminal, it was hot as hell and it was 80 degrees outside so I'm really not sure why we needed the hot on in an already cramped space. The whole area hasn't been updated since it was built, the bathrooms are tiny and dirty; even the entryway to the bathroom was too narrow, and I'm a skinny beyotch... there was disappointment at every single turn. Steven at Legal Seafoods is the only good thing we found in this airport. Thank satan for his impeccable margaritas and that clam chowdah because otherwise, that horrendous 9-hour layover would have been completely unbearable. Oh but remember, this area is a NO "to-go drinks" zone, which really wasn't a surprise to hear. I fully expected yet another disappointing answer when I asked... but that's the DC way these days, isn't it? All this ugliness and idiocy sprawled out all over the place completely fits in perfectly in Washington DC. I sure do hope the whole area finds a cure for its disease soon.

One of the best FBOs I've flown into; highly recommend flying into Montgomery if you plan on going…read moreto DC (and can't get into College Park). They are open until 7pm most weekdays, so if you want service...make sure you get here before 7pm. We arrived at 6:45 and a staff member with a golf kart met us (after calling them on the radio), showed us to our parking spot, pushed the plane back AND tied it down for us while getting our luggage to the gate. It was incredible. The FBO staff were super helpful in giving me the number to a few mechanics (spark plugs needed cleaning) on the field and even offered us some water. Parking is $15/day, but they were incredibly sweet to waive our fees for the entire 3 days with a top off. Usually they only waive one day with a 20 gallon purchase, but they were super nice to us! Getting to DC from this airport isn't too bad. You can take a Lyft/Uber directly to DC for about $40-45 (about a 35minute ride) or take a bus/taxi/Uber to the train station ($~10-15 for the taxi) and then take the train into DC($5). All in all, until I get the FRZ requirements out of the way to fly into College Park, I'll be sure to return to Montgomery if going to DC. They provided amazing service. There is also a diner right at the airport with has decent lunch and you can watch the planes taking off as you eat. Seems like a lot of locals go there.

I bought Welshie a flying lesson from Open Air flight training through Groupon for Xmas, which is…read morehow we ended up here. He always mentioned he wanted to get his flying license one day, so it was a good gift. I'm so rad. It was cold as a witch's teat and the winds were high. Our instructor was super affable and knowledgeable too. I had my camera ready and was set to snap pictures from the ground when the instructor asked me if I'd like to fly along. I was scared, to be honest, since Welshie was manning the plane, but the instructor has full control as well. It was a stomach-dropping, squeal-inducing, 20-minute flight and it was quite freeing. I did think I was going to die, though. Our instructor even said that the winds were so bad that he was going to cancel the rest of his lessons. Nice. Overall, it's a great little airpark and learning to fly is awesome. It's not cheap if you want to get your license--you're probably looking at about $10K when it's all said and done. I highly recommend trying it out at least once, though.
