Ubers and Lyfts are expensive, but the metro is only a few dollars. Prices are a little cheaper on weekends. The station is above ground, and although it is covered, it is in the elements, so if it's a cold day, you will be cold. Make sure you know your next stop and direction BEFORE boarding the train. We got on the train with some folks who had to get off at the next stop to switch directions. It's an honest, rookie, mistake that will cost you time but thankfully not a whole lot of money.

I was just there a few weeks ago and the trip to DCA cost $2.55 and I avoided traffic - winner! and I love that I can have the Metro app on my phone - in the early days it was purchasing a card at the station (which you can still do) - no thanks. I feel generous giving 5 stars to a public transportation system, but keeping it real, it's good (at least for my needs and experience.) Okay, maybe 4.75 stars, lol.

Taking off over 3 hours late on Easter due to lack of organization is unfair. It costs people more money in expensive food courts, results in extra parking costs and will cause me not to see family today and cost me more money for dog care. Do you ever take off on time? I gave it two stars because the pilot that came to save the day did a good job getting us home. He found out 10 minutes before boarding (which again, was hours late) that he was needed for our flight. Do better American.

tl;dr: Don't fly Southwest at this airport…read more The Southwest Terminal (Terminal 1) at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is one of the worst airport terminals I've experienced. The biggest problem is the layout. Once you pass through TSA in Terminal 1, you're essentially stuck there. Unlike many airports where you can walk between concourses after security, Terminal 1 is separated from the newer terminals. If you want access to other dining or amenities, you have to leave the secure area and go through TSA all over again. The food options are also disappointing. There are a couple of sit-down restaurants, such as Reservoir and Page, but most of the terminal consists of food court-style vendors with very limited seating. Finding a place to comfortably sit and eat can be a challenge, especially during busy travel periods. What really makes the experience frustrating is how crowded the terminal becomes when flights are delayed. Since Southwest operates heavily from Terminal 1, delays can quickly turn the gate areas into standing-room-only spaces. The terminal feels undersized for the number of passengers using it, and at times the congestion borders on uncomfortable. It's definitely a fire hazard and panic attack inducing. Part of the issue is that Terminal 1 is the airport's oldest terminal, dating back to the 1940s. While it has some historic character, it was not designed for modern passenger volumes and it shows. The only major advantage of Reagan National is its location. Being just minutes from downtown Washington, D.C. and Arlington is incredibly convenient. If proximity to the city is your top priority, it's hard to beat. But if you're flying Southwest through Terminal 1, be prepared for limited amenities, crowding, and a less-than-ideal airport experience. By the way, if there is any kind of event in D.C. expect the traffic here to be horrendous and good luck getting a Lyft. What a clusterf*ck.
