45. Just to be safe. Sometimes there’s hordes of school kids and tourists that come through and muck things up a bit.

30 mins, although you can make it with less

1 hour, maybe more if it’s a busy time of day.

I'd say 30 mins as well. Even less if you're coming to the Southwest terminal

30 minutes is the minimum. I always get there an hour ahead of time.

DCA is small but efficient. Agree with 45 minutes although I still show up 1-2 hours early for peace of mind. But overall this is a fast airport

Depends on your airline and the time of day and day of week. Monday mornings are awful, as are Thursday/Friday late afternoons. Between 10 AM and 3 PM most days are pretty smooth.

Been feeling very low for a very long time. Working with a Big Four for 7+ years (since graduation) and was excited to join consulting as I get easily bored, wanted to grow at an exponential scale and wanted to travel for work. Cut to now, though I am well sought after for my skills and consistently got 25%+ bonus, I feel I have achieved nothing cuz I didn't get the promotions that I worked for, people have been chosen over me for overseas travel and destroyed my social life. Venting only! :)
