Missed airport change between IAD and DCA caused confusion during connection

I want to preface this by saying I should have read more clearly, but I booked this flight last minute and made a mistake. I was flying from Greensboro to Houston with a connection at Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD). I arrived at the airport early and went to find...

Questions around American Airlines choosing DCA to San Antonio for a limited long-haul slot

I work at American Airlines (not in planning), and there’s one route decision that still puzzles me: the choice to operate Washington National to San Antonio. As many know, Reagan National operates under a perimeter rule of around 1,250 miles, which makes beyond-perimeter slots...

New E175 at DCA but no in seat power?

Flew one of the brand new E175s out of DCA today, delivered like two weeks ago. Interior looked great, felt fresh, all that. But… no in seat power at all. Not in first, not in economy. AA keeps pushing BYOD and streaming, yet there’s nowhere to plug in? On a brand new plane?...

DCA to BOS on AA was brutal. Gate agents made everything worse.

Flew DCA to BOS today on AA1392 and honestly had one of the worst airport experiences I can remember. Came in from Knoxville and we sat on the tarmac for over two hours due to wind, so I missed my original 5:30pm connection. Annoying but fine, stuff happens. Original ticket was...

Is 4 hours enough to go from DCA to IAD on an international connection?

Flying Montreal to DCA and then need to switch airports to IAD for a flight to Sri Lanka. We’ve got a 4-hour window to clear immigration, grab checked bags, get a ride over to Dulles, and check in again. We’re not US citizens so the entry process might take longer. Just trying...

Odd AA experience DCA–ORD tonight

Weird travel day. I was booked on the 6:30am DCA–ORD tomorrow but switched to the 10:45pm tonight. Got to the airport early, saw a random unscheduled flight on the board, and turns out it was an earlier ORD flight that had returned for maintenance. Asked at check-in and next...

United Club agent saved us from a long delay

Flying DCA–ORD last week on the 8:30. Got into the club and within minutes the agent who checked us in came to find us, said our flight needed a part flown in and would be mega delayed. Told us to head to the 7:25 since it still had seats. By the time we got down, gate agents...

Water salute at DCA this morning

Snapped this pic of an American 737 getting a water salute at DCA around 9:10am. Looked amazing with the trucks lined up. Turns out it was an Honor Flight from Kansas City bringing veterans in makes it even more special seeing it in person.
