Flights from Europe to Washington, D.C.: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew the route from Europe to Washington, D.C. 
Verified travelerFlew with SWISS-Jul 2026
The Swiss are very efficient with passport control. They have devised a system which is quick and helpful. It would help tourists if they could explain their system so tourists know what to do in advance of reaching the airport. We had a very short connection. Our son’s had travelled that same way the day before and It was because of our his explanation that we could make our flight.
Juan GFlew with Air France-Jun 2026
Due to the excess of hand luggage, the airlines are offering to take it at no cost. What provides a lot of comfort.
Verified travelerFlew with Aer Lingus-Aug 2026
Multiple security checks and immigration at Dublin airport so even 2-3 hours of layove is short.
DonaldFlew with United Airlines-Aug 2026
Check in online. Check in desk in Edinburgh is chaos. Not the case with Delta or KLM.
Denise and ScottFlew with United Airlines-Apr 2026
Bring an eye shade. Although the plane is dark for parts of the flight, it helps to sleep.
OlgaFlew with United Airlines-Mar 2026
Make sure you have close to 2,5 hours between your connecting flights!!!
Verified travelerFlew with Icelandair-Mar 2026
Be sure to dress warmly when leaving Reykjavik!! --Especially during the Winter months! Did noticed an enclosed overhead ladder(though still required us to be outdoors to board) was used yesterday . Hopefully someday Reykjavik would be able to have more concourses gates
SabuFlew with Turkish Airlines-Dec 2025
If you have a long layover in Istanbul, take advantage of the free hotel stay that Turkish Airlines provides and explore Istanbul.
BobbieFlew with TAP AIR PORTUGAL-Dec 2025
To definitely go to the airport more than 3 hours ahead of your flight time because Lisbon airport js very poorly designed with no self checking devices and shortage of staff to assist you. Long long lines for going through security, 3 hours or so just for that. Many flights were missed because of that so go at least 5 hours before your flight to be able to make it
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Nov 2025
Pack a jacket since you need to deplane in the open to get a shuttle to main airport
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Nov 2025
Be prepared for very long distances to the gates.
ROSSFlew with Lufthansa-Jun 2025
Download the LH Entertainment app before the flight so you can watch content on your personal devices.
Verified travelerFlew with Turkish Airlines-Jul 2025
Be prepared to have a second security check when you arrive at your gate. They also don’t make boarding announcements so you have to figure it out yourself.
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Jun 2025
Buy your seat ahead of time if you don’t want to be stuck in the middle or back of plane. It’s a shame that airlines have this added cost but it’s hard to avoid paying especially if you need to get off the plane quickly
Verified travelerFlew with Austrian Airlines-May 2025
Long walks to high gates so come prepared for a walk, especially if your older or infirm.
Jan PaulFlew with United Airlines-Dec 2024
Washington is one of the nicest layovers, nice quiet and not too busy. Walking from plane to customs to plane never went that fast compared to the bigger airports
Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-Dec 2024
Bring your own food AND drink on the plane with you.
Verified travelerFlew with Aer Lingus-Sep 2024
Allow a full 2 hours for check-in and boarding.
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Aug 2024
Make sure there is more time in between your flights
ElidaFlew with United Airlines-Jun 2024
No bathrooms before customs. Takes about 45 min to an hour for luggage to get from plane to where I can pick it up to transfer it over. Area feels dirty
Verified travelerFlew with Air France-Jul 2024
Don’t use Paris for transiting from another airport. It is not transit friendly. Use Munich of Frankfurt instead.
LindaFlew with Turkish Airlines-Apr 2024
Get there early! There are more layers of screening than in the U.S. We were handled by 10 different people on the way to the gate. Lines can get long.
JenniferFlew with United Airlines-May 2024
Good luck with the flight, make sure you eat before you board the plane because that's a long flight for the food that is served on that plane.
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Apr 2024
Take more time than you think you need to get through customs. 2 hours isn’t enough.
Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-May 2024
Frankfurt airport falls short in customer service and care, particularly during the multiple security checks, making it challenging for travelers to navigate efficiently. With layovers of less than three hours, there’s a significant risk of missing connecting flights due to the airport’s procedures.
Verified travelerFlew with Scandinavian Airlines-Jan 2024
Bring your own headset if you want to check out the free entertainment on the ground before the cabin crew provides it. They brought it after the plane reached cruising altitude, about 25 minutes into the flight.

Crew attendants attention to the travelers. Good food. I always fly with Turkish Airlines

The sleeper seats, the staff, and the food was truly delicious. I loved the mocktail options.

Great food, and lots of it. They made us come to the gate two hours before the flight and you were stuck in the enclosure until you boarded with no bathroom or food or drink. My seat in business class was very claustrophobic, I could barely get into it and a large board blocked the window and made it even more claustrophobic

Cabin was kept very hot and it was uncomfortable. Entertainment system did not work at my seat. Crew and service is fantastic

The crew on this flight provided exceptional business class service to me.

The airport staff never announced that boarding has started. Both at iad or Islamabad or Istanbul.

The airline could improve its business class seats and privacy in line with its competitors.

The seats have to be one of the worst when it comes to comfort and you have to scramble around to out your handbag in the overhead. The food is still awful. Definitely will not travel on Turkish again and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone for sure.

Very happy with the service, comfort, and food on Turkish Airlines. Security and check in was great.

Movie selection was ok, but could be better. Would like to see greater selection of newer movies.

Bad check in experience. Dirty ancient aircraft. Truly awful food and this in Business/ First class.

I truely appreciate all services. I was highly impressed and will not hesitate to recommend United Airlines to friends and family. The AVML was perfect.

Very kind Lufthansa agent somehow gave us all no charge extra business class seats and helped us get home rested and happy.

The lounge was not accessible because it was located before the passport control, and backtracking was impossible.

The flight to America was freezing. The overnight flight back to the UK was boiling hot and the cabin stank of toilet or occasionally perfume, even though I was several rows back from either bathroom. Food was tiny portions. Two small pieces of tough and dry beef in random gravy with pretend mashed potato raking up most of it. Very little veg. Salad was ok. Wooden cutlery broke within minutes of using. Lots of old films for entertainment. Some new ones. Generally a bit rubbish.

Entertainment center did not work and no electric available at seat for 11 hour flight. Didn’t have access to overhead light or call button. Food was tasteless and had a high salt (27 %) of recommended daily salt intake

What would be infinitely better if for Kayak to not offer this flight as if it was completely different airlines rather than United and then filtering me through some creepy discount site.

Our flight gor canceled and there was no one to help us but told us to scan the qr code and fill the forms on-line. Very poor service especially we are tourists traveling to Washington DC for the 1st time.

Our flight was great with an unexpected upgrade. However, four days into our travel we are still without a piece of luggage. The bag tracker has not been accurate, the airline is not communicating with me or the luggage delivery service and no one is willing to take responsibility or guarantee any kind of support or reimbursement. Unfortunately, we do not have the option to easily shop to replace items as we are currently on a cruise. I have been very disappointed by United Airlines response.

The flight was canceled. I couldn't get on another flight. Meal voucher wouldn't work. The whole experience was a clusterfuck.

We traveled with my 90 year old mother and she was well cared for by everyone from the wheelchair attendant to crew. Greatly appreciated!

Very comfortable flight. Great service, food options, and entertainment options. With Wi-Fi!

On time departure and arrival at LAX - good inflight entertainment - all basic seats on every airline right now begin to feel small after 10 hours!!

I was pleasantly surprised. I've never flown this airline and the seats were comfy, I couldn't select my seat but luckily got aisle and was able to comfortably sleep the whole trip except when they came around with an in flight free meal, drinks then snack at the end. I'd fly with Aer Lingus again. The only annoying thing is you had to pay for WiFi for different hours of usage but luckily I didn't need it

This was a great flight. I love the way they had general boarding board from the back first by seat row and in general the flight was very comfortable. The seats were actually comfy, and the food served was surprisingly good.

I was not admitted to the flight!!! i need a refund for this.

I was so grateful for the kindness of the crew. They made a long trip very pleasant. Food was delicious. Many movie options

We were very satisfied and would fly with Aer Lingus again in the future.

during a very rough flight, I was forced to sit in a last row seat, fell asleep, and was forced to return to my assigned seat after the turbulence. The stewardess then used that seat to sleep.

First the price I paid was excellent, my flight was full, but my seat was roomy. The one downside to the experience was they had games on the entertainment console. The guy behind me poked at my head about half the flight. I hope they get rid of this feature.

I was never able to use this flight. I booked my flight through KAYAK, using cheapfaresflights, and the agency did not book the ticket correctly. When I went to check in for my flight in Rome, my details had changed. My name was incorrect , and the itinerary was not what I had paid for. I was unable to board the flight and I had to purchase a second ticket at considerable expense. Unfortunately, no one at KAYAK or Cheapfaresflights was able to help me. They both shifted the blame on United Airlines, United Airlines was able to provide me a full detail that the error occurred on the travel agencies side. I consider this fraud and will pursue it further.

Cancelled 90 min AFTER Departure! We had to deplane and wait another hour plus for the flight to be shown as cancelled for the customer service team. There were many many angry customers.

Bulkhead seats should not be an extra charge. They are extremely uncomfortable. And we missed our connecting flight due to slow luggage retreaval.

Lufthansa flight LH04414 from Munich to Washington DC, was fine. Efficient and safe!

Bumpy ride, not Lufthansa‘s fault. Crew managed a situation over a back rest to far down well. It was two iles behind me. The person putting the seat down, against the other person’s knees, was quite rude and belligerent and needed to be told in a no nonsense matter to stopp. Male flight attendant did good job.

Had a few open seats and could use it for a great rest ful journey

It was very good. Service was friendly and efficient, and food was good.

We left 1.5 hours late therefore missing my connection. The airline didn’t give vouchers.

Food could have something without dairy, I couldn't eat anything. Tv for both seats was malfunctioning. They have one bottle of ginger ale for entire plane.... and I paid extra for these seats...very disappointed

We took two long flights with Lufthansa, both were delayed making us miss our connecting flights. Lufthansa took care of the first one. The second was a switch to United and figuring out how to rebook was not a pleasant experience.

Based on my wife's damaged condition, BA very kindly upgraded us from cattle to business class. MUCH appreciated!! One of these days, as it gains more experience, BA MAY learn how to depart on time (with over 30 years experience with BA, no flight has EVER managed to leave on time), Once airborne, the entertainment was ever so very pedestrian. But the flight was uneventful and the cabin crew's service was superb. And whichever driver landed the aircraft had obviously done it before. But BA unfortunately is learning from that scuzzy airline Delta. Delta is ALWAYS stunned when one of its aircraft actually turns up anywhere and is NEVER ready to receive it -- even when it turns up where and more or less when it is supposed to, NOT an example worthy of emulation.

Because our ABZ-LHR flight was cancelled by BA for reasons they refuse to tell us--not weather--we did not make this flight and were booked on the following day. BA offered no assistance to us on the phone or in the airport, and we had to find a hotel at Heathrow on our own.

Horrible - flight was delayed by 6 hours - we boarded, were made to de-board due some technical fault; aircraft changed; special meals request on new flight - all went awry. Landed in Dulles airport; breezed thru immigration; as Business Class passengers or baggage was delivered almost 90 minutes after landing; air tags indicated the bags were just near the carousel but the unhelpful BA staff - Maria and Ghina refused to give any update - palming it off on some imaginary invisible “manager” despite air tags evidence showing it right there. So about 50-60 passengers waiting and getting infuriatingly impatient for their bags coz one container was not delivered. Finally after much argument by some other passengers Maria condescended to go to the “ramp” and within 5 minutes the baggage was delivered miraculously. Question is why couldn’t she have done it one hour earlier ? Poor poor experience once again on Business Class BA.

Seating space is appalling. Seats and all surrounding area in "Economy" is built for individuals shorter than 4' 10" and below 120 lbs. Ridiculous. While I'm not expecting fine dining, the food was the worst airplane food that I can recall.

A shout-out to the flight attendent, Lauren, who was the main person assisting me. She was amazing - perfect balance of bright, cheerful, engaging, yet formal

It was good. Couldn’t Check in online and select seats

Check in was not the greatest as had to talk to an agent to clarify things and then he transferred us to another agent who had difficulty processing my credit card as there was a system glitch and not a card error.

I was put into business class. Wow! My flight attendant was great! The food amazing’

Waited 3.25 hours in plane only to have the flight cancelled.

The worst, flight cancelled because the aircraft was not full. Heathrow ground crew totally not helpful and arrogant. Lady proposed us flight with 40min layover instead of direct and said it is our problem of course she was unable to do anything as everything was beyond her control she claimed. after calling on hotline another flight was booked. Flight was cancelled last second so we could not take direct from Zurich but we had to stay overnight in London.
