Your statement and question are very unclear.

like

First, your statement made it look like you lived in SW DC, so that's on you. Second, DCA is ALWAYS a better option if it is the same distance as IAD. The experience at the airport is light years ahead with DCA being so much smaller than IAD. I will only fly into or out of IAD if the fare difference is >$500.

Dulles TSA is like Ellis island.

Pwc police- go home. Client site is southwest of DC. Wondering which airport is better for security, traffic etc since they are both about the same distance

But if there is weather anywhere in the country DCA will have delays. IAD is huge and efficient, DCA is small and cute.

If I go with DCA I can use the delta shuttle so thats my motivation to make DCA work

Dulles is literally 45in drive from DC

DCA

If you're inside or south of the beltway, then DCA. If you're west of beltway then IAD. SW of DC is hard to pinpoint so my advice is meh.

Don't listen to anyone who says Dulles. They're either trolls or idiots. There's no question DCA is the better option.

Dulles is quicker if you are flying in mid morning or afternoon. If you are flying in late at night do Ronald

Just use IAD

And the transportation within the airport is not unlike NYC metros that are single tracking.

The shuttle is the shit

Rental cars require shuttles in Dulles if I'm not mistaken, whereas DCA rentals are less than 5 min walk from the curb (I think).

DCA

Minute*

Inside the beltway = DCA; outside the beltway in Va = Dulles; plus you always want to go against rushhour traffic

I was taking a friend to the airport and her flight was delayed, so we stopped at a restaurant to see a mutual friend who was eating there with her entire extended family. There was an empty table next to them with several half-eaten pies on it, so I assumed a previous party had just finished their meal and left. I finished off 4 of the pies and then left to get my friend to the airport. Turns out the pies were part of an employee appreciation dinner for the servers and so (finished in comment)

Hello,
Can we get promotion after the mid year review in CitiusTech?

Can someone please tell the details and when we can expect the new revised letter mentioning the new designation.
