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

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew the route from District of Columbia to the United Kingdom 
JerryFlew with United Airlines-Sep 2026
On long haul flights or trans-oceanic, avoid Boeing 757 aircraft (especially with United, American or SAS). That is one UNCOMFORTABLE aircraft - especially with the seat pitch distance and material that United, American or SAS uses. Look for an Airbus or Boeing 767 or 777. If you only see 757, get business class - or book a chiropractor when you arrive at your destination. I spent a lot of time standing to be comfortable. Secondly, if you have a less than 60 minute connection arriving into Dulles, chances are you won't make your connection to Edinburgh. Also, watch the airport screens for last minute gate changes (in a different concourse). The departure gate on the airline app and your ticket may not be correct.

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.
EllenFlew with British Airways-Oct 2024
Do not check your bag if at all possible, especially if you have a connecting flight. Your bag will not make it.
CraigFlew with United Airlines-Jun 2024
Get to beginning of boarding group early. Bring as little on board as possible due to small overhead bin space.
