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 
Verified travelerFlew with British AirwaysIAD-LHRApr 2025
Have no basis for comparison, but British Airlines does a good job.
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.
NancyFlew with British AirwaysIAD-LHRNov 2024
Looking at schedules and prices, I settled on BA years ago. I have yet to meet an employee who wasn't at the very least pleasant. Most go out of their way in difficult situations to be kind and cheery.
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 British AirwaysIAD-LHRSep 2024
Process to get to connecting flights at Heathrow is convoluted/complicated.
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.
SaraFlew with British AirwaysIAD-LHRJul 2024
British Airways baggage policy was on top. Boarding was well organized and food was pretty good.
DouglasFlew with ITA AirwaysIAD-FCOAug 2024
Check out the aircraft used, seat comfort, and quality of meal service, especially in business class.
Verified travelerFlew with IberiaIAD-LHRAug 2024
British Airways offered an excellent service . Thank you !
LexFlew with TAP AIR PORTUGALIAD-LISAug 2024
I had long wait at customs. Please plan accordingly.
MeherFlew with Air FranceIAD-CDGJul 2024
DC to Paris was very good experience. But Paris to Mumbai was pathetic
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.
TFlew with Aer LingusIAD-DUBApr 2024
Stay on the other side of the river Liffy from the temple bar area. You can walk everywhere.
Verified travelerFlew with United AirlinesIAD-FRAMar 2024
Pay extra for a little better seating. Definitely worth it
Verified travelerFlew with United AirlinesIAD-FRAApr 2024
Get some good food and do the transfers right
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.
Verified travelerFlew with IcelandairIAD-KEFMar 2024
I wish I would have known that you don’t even get a snack for an overseas flight.
Verified travelerFlew with LufthansaIAD-FRAMay 2024
Don’t choose Lufthansa airlines if you have a connecting flight with other airline.
BartoszFlew with Scandinavian AirlinesIAD-CPHFeb 2024
I would recommend flying verifying what aircraft SAS uses for the flight so you are not stuck for 8 hours in a single aisle aircraft with 2 bathrooms. Also be cautious that SAS cancels a lot of their flights, they cancelled 3 transatlantic flights on me in a row, This was the last time I am flying with them as I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, yet they failed me again in that aspect.
