35x is the gate to hell so plan on an extra 10 mins for that. Unf I always came from Arlington so can't advise on travel from U street

Will take 20 mins to get to the airport

I’d leave at 7:10.

Flying in and out of 35X is not fun. But I still love DCA!

Oh interesting. Is it mainly federal work or since you are traveling I assume office doesn't determine client base?

7:40. 20 minutes to airport. 20 minutes for security and gate. 10 minutes for fucking up. 10 minutes for doors closing. I leave from Alexandria at 6:55 for 7:35 flights and am usually fine.

So if I leave at 7 get to security by 7:30ish? That should be fine

Thanks for the responses

Atk1, interested to know what the times were like when you weren't usually fine haha. Also didn't realize you guys had an office in DC.

Going to stl?!?

Tc1, I was indeed

Yep. DC office. I cut it close. But I'm coming from Arlington

We have both private sector and federal. DC is a fun place to live even for non-public workers.

Ya agreed. I have only been here a month or so and I'm enjoying it quite a bit. Hoping to stay for a good while.

Do you have any DC local suggestions? Food, networking, going out, etc? I've gone out and eaten on U street quite a bit and 14th. Gone to AlExandria old town as well.
