Flights to Alexandria: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew to Alexandria 
JerryFlew with United Airlines-Sep 2026
Always watch the flight connection window. If it is less than an hour and changing concourses (like Dulles), you're asking for trouble (have your travel insurance contact number ready). Of course, that doesn't apply to American or United Airlines as they are typically late. If you get an Embraer 175 or larger aircraft, you will have a great flight. If longer than two hour flight, hope you don't get a Boeing 757 aircraft - the most ungodly uncomfortable sardine can with wings, ever made. Have a chiropractor or massage specialist waiting at your destination. If you have a 757 for Trans-Atlantic or Trans-Pacific flights, choose business class seats.

If flying from Tampa to DC, I would recommend considering other airlines over American Airlines for this route. My experience involved nearly 10 delays and a departure that was over 5 hours late with minimal communication or accommodations. For this route, Southwest and JetBlue tend to offer more reliable schedules and better customer service when things go wrong. If you do fly American, book an earlier flight in the day to reduce the risk of cascading delays, and keep in mind that their delay accommodations may be limited to a small food voucher regardless of how long you are stranded.
DonnaFlew with American Airlines-Sep 2026
The airport is significantly under construction. No working spaces. Very few charging locations.
IndivarFlew with American Airlines-Aug 2026
For a work trips, consider booking an Airline with multiple daily flights in case you might want standby for an earlier return flight.
Verified travelerFlew with JetBlue-Jun 2026
Check in online, get your boarding pass and go directly to the gate unless you have checked baggage.
Verified travelerFlew with Delta-Jul 2026
Check a map and take the train between gates. Signage is terrible. Detroit has allowed restaurants and boarding to spill out into the concourse, so can be a recurring narrow struggle through crowds walking between gates. If you see food you want, get it. Not as many food options, and not many healthy food options, as it would appear along concourse A.
NguyenFlew with United Airlines-Mar 2026
Check in desk immediately when you come in the doors on the left of door 215. Get TSA touchless before the flight—the line is so much shorter.
PeterFlew with Austrian Airlines-Mar 2026
Syracuse is a joy to fly from because it has such a short check in time.
Putri ArumFlew with Japan Airlines-Mar 2026
Bring your own foods. There should also be a disclaimer on the ticket that foods will not be provided although this is a relatively long flight.
GailFlew with American Airlines-Feb 2026
American to DCA is great because they arrive and depart from Terminal T which is the closest terminal to the airport entrance/exit. No need to hike/take the train to one of the other terminals where Delta, the most prevalent airline at ATL has flights.
LaToyaFlew with American Airlines-Feb 2026
Get Pre-Check to be able to get through Hartsfield-Jackson’s checkpoint quickly.
DawnFlew with American Airlines-Dec 2025
Check Bags - Small Canadair RJ700 Plane, Limited Overhead Storage....If you have a tight connection in DC may be difficult if Bag is ckd at Door.
NesrinFlew with Southwest-Feb 2026
Get a seat in the very front if you can, otherwise, it is a very slow process.
DionFlew with American Airlines-Jan 2026
Make sure you eat a heavy meal before boarding the flight.
SuzetteFlew with Alaska Airlines-May 2025
Take a shower before arriving at airport and don't wear perfume at all! Pack bags tight, so boarding is smooth and quick.
DanielFlew with Alaska Airlines-May 2025
Seatac has gnarly traffic right now, took 35min to get from highway exit to the terminal
Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-Dec 2024
small overheads on small planes, sometimes delayed, don't make tight connection at Dulles
JasonFlew with United Airlines-Nov 2024
DIA is a large airport. Get there early.
Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-Jul 2024
Know where your connecting gate. You can use the airline app to bring up a map and it can give you directions and time from landing gate to departure gate.
karenFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jun 2024
Personal tips are bring your own food if you're hungry; keep foot space as open as possible for leg room; pack your patience
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jun 2024
Get to the airport on time because traffic in LA is unexpected
MichaelFlew with American Airlines-Jun 2024
Leave a day earlier than intended in the summer.
UzomaFlew with American Airlines-Jan 2024
ORD and DCA are nice airports with plenty of space. ORD is always busy so allow ample time to drive there, drop your bag, and go through security if you don't have TSA pre check.
BindulFlew with United Airlines-Feb 2024
There are multiple flights between DEN and IAD everyday, including some wide bodies. Try and get on one of the wide bodies whenever possible.
PatriciaFlew with United Airlines-Jan 2024
Take DCA instead of IAD to avoid those stupid overpacked people movers
