Can't wait to take the ride. I hope they transform one of the many car lanes to an express train lane to get to the city center faster.

Your videos are essential for any first or second time visitors to DC. I learned so much that was very helpful before my trip last month (October 2022). There was no metro open yet from Dulles to the city and we took a taxi which was about $100. The metro is definitely worth it if you arrive within the service hours.

as someone who lives in dc, any smartrip card, pass or regular, should let you in and out any station you choose to go to as long as you can pay for it. since a pass is prepaid, i don't see why you'd have a problem. i do recommend opting for a regular smartrip card over a pass though, since you can add and remove money from it any time through the app.

This is a very helpful video, but it should be made clear that passengers arriving on international flights (see exception below) must clear passport control and claim baggage at international arrivals, not in the main baggage claim area. This does not apply to passengers arriving from countries with pre-clearance. I believe only Canada and Ireland have the latter.

The exhausting never-ending walk from Metro station through the dreary corridors to airport terminal is the worst airport connection I've ever encountered. What a waste of taxpayer money when a direct underground interchange would have been so much more customer friendly. I'll stick to convenient DCA which is less than 20 minutes from my home in Dupont Circle by Uber, Metro or Lyft. THANKS for informative video.✌

We have to return the car to airport, is the Metro easily accessed from car rental area or will it require going into airport etc, to get back into the city?

Check with the rental car company to see if their shuttle stops at Metro but likely you will have to walk though the tunnel to the airport pickup and get the rental car shuttle there.

I just looked up how long it would take to get from the Closest Metro station to the Udvar-Hazy Center. 4.9 miles by foot and an hour and a half. Wow, that's disappointing. There is a bus that connects the Innovation Center Metrorail Station to the Annex in a 15 minute drive, so that's a little better, but it looks like dream of a metro station ride to the annex is dead.
