First time? Get there by 6:30am. Save yourself the stress and anxiety of feeling like you're running late. Give yourself time to figure out your airport routine. Next time you'll probably only need to show up 20 mins before boarding (not takeoff) starts if you have pre-check.

like

700A (40 to cover security take the train to C and to your gate - worst case, A,D should be quicker; they’ll start boarding around 745A - so 5 min to find your line and stake your place in it (assuming no status so you’ll board much much later); once you’re in line tell the person behind you you’ll be back (time to hydrate/caffeinate/eliminate w/o losing your place).

BUT if you’re the anxious type get to Dulles by 630A!!! Good luck

Boarding time is probably 7:35? Precheck show up at 7, if not 6:30.

like

If you have pre and don’t need to check bag, 45 min is ok but recommend 1 hour. If you don’t have Pre and also no need to checkin bag I will recommend 1 hour. Otherwise 1.5 hours

Depends on your stress level but even an hour before you should be fine

Dulles shuttles you to half the terminals after security and it’s a pain in the ass. Agree with 6:30 if you don’t have precheck!

7:30 is fine if you have pre. I’ve never waited in line at Dulles except when there are old ppl in front of me

SO beyond frustrated with my work environment I think it may be time to leave for good. I returned from maternity leave after 4 years of working at my very old-school, boys club, nepotism-friendly company. The number of remarks I got on my appearance, my pregnancy and etc was a little annoying before I left, but since I've come back it's been nothing but comments on how they can't believe I'm leaving my husband home with the baby etc. Sorry for the long post just needed to vent!!
