Flights from District of Columbia to Europe: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew the route from District of Columbia to Europe 
DorothyFlew with United AirlinesIAD-CDGMay 2025
Fly late at night so you arrive later in the morning and can have a better chance of encountering less traffic if you take a taxi from CDG to Paris. Another alternative is the RER-B which is located in Terminal 2. There are easy ways to get to Term 2 from Term 1 or 3. The ticket machines are located in the train station.
DeeFlew with United AirlinesIAD-LHRFeb 2025
For me the best route to LHR is the late night departure on UAL. The flight is often roughly 6.5 hours so I skip dinner, use an eye mask and earplugs and try to sleep.
Verified travelerFlew with Turkish AirlinesIAD-ISTSep 2024
Istanbul airport is huge with lots of duty free and shopping options. Limited food choice. And if you are on budget, pack your food in advance as everything is si darn expensive. They primarily take Euro .
EllenFlew with British AirwaysIAD-LHROct 2024
Do not check your bag if at all possible, especially if you have a connecting flight. Your bag will not make it.
Verified travelerFlew with Turkish AirlinesIAD-ISTJul 2024
Wear compression socks. If you are really tall get the seat with extra legroom Istanbul airport is hugeeeeee so be prepared and verify that you have enough time between flights if you are connecting Things are more expensive and they accept US$ but obviously charge at the euro rate
Lei-SeaFlew with IcelandairIAD-KEFAug 2024
KEF is not like American airport, not a lot of seating and gate is announced when boarding starts so be prepared to move quickly. Food is good in airport and lots of seating around the food areas.
CraigFlew with United AirlinesIAD-LHRJun 2024
Get to beginning of boarding group early. Bring as little on board as possible due to small overhead bin space.
DouglasFlew with ITA AirwaysIAD-FCOAug 2024
Check out the aircraft used, seat comfort, and quality of meal service, especially in business class.
LexFlew with TAP AIR PORTUGALIAD-LISAug 2024
I had long wait at customs. Please plan accordingly.
RobertFlew with Turkish AirlinesIAD-ISTMay 2024
Learn about the stopover in Istanbul program before you book so that you may be able to take advantage without having to pay for change fees or fare changes.
Verified travelerFlew with United AirlinesIAD-FRAMar 2024
Pay extra for a little better seating. Definitely worth it
MilyFlew with PLAYIAD-KEFMar 2024
Come at least two hours earlier than your boarding time. These “discount” Icelandic airlines are barebones with instructions. Eat outside the airport beforehand. The food sold on Play is very overpriced.
