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

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew to Silver Spring 
GaylinFlew with United Airlines-Sep 2026
Manchester is a great small airport and MUCH easier to deal with than Logan. Quick access, easy parking and short TSA lines@
AlisonFlew with United Airlines-Oct 2026
Leave early in the day to avoid weather and congestion related delays.
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.
Verified travelerFlew with JetBlue-Sep 2026
Book directly through the airline. Not worth the minimal fare difference if you have a problem or need to make a change.
DaVonyaFlew with American Airlines-Sep 2026
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

My return flight was much better than the flight there! I paid for seat to Veagas but not the return. Thankgoodness they assigned me a seat with additional leg room as I have back and leg problems. I really appreciate it. With the flight already being super expensive due to gas prices and having to pay for bags (now) I needed to save some money.

Flight was delayed out of BWI unexpectedly / without a reason given but otherwise ok.

the flight itself was totally fine. The crew were great and very helpful. The flight was delayed, however, over an hour without a lot of information as to why.

You made me miss my connecting flight. I can not go to Cleveland on teh revised flight you are sending as I will the entire meeting. I have no option that to fly back. I hope you compensate me for the loss.

It was the strangest thing. The flight attendant (who was not very friendly) took our drink orders and then never brought them. I’ve never had that happen before.

Trash experience on all my flights this week. Delay after delay. The flight I’m waiting for has been delayed 6 times and nearly 3 hours.

Flights delays were communicated timely and helpfully, but there was a significant delay without any real effort to make up for that. Also, the in-flight WiFi was very spotty. That said, this was my first time with Southwest and I was quite happy with the service and staff otherwise.

Fairly good - the seats seemed more comfortable on this flight. The staff out of Detroit were quite friendly. But they directed us to the wrong carousel for luggage. :(

I liked the new boarding process. I thought the buyup options (legroom, early boarding) to be easy to request and reasonably priced. All the Southwest team from gate to in-flight were so nice.

Flight coming out of Buffalo was delayed, so we had to be rescheduled on another flight from Baltimore to Phoenix which means we had a long layover and got home 3.5 hours late. Shuttle to parking stopped at 10pm, so we had to pay for an Uber to the parking lot and got charged an extra day of parking since it was after midnight. Not the best experience. Long day!

After flying with Qatar Airways and Kenya Airlines. Delta leaves a lot to be desired

A 6hr delay is going to put a damper on all reviews. It was almost impossible to get into the Delta club also. Zero conveyance. I could not use my status for anything. Makes me wonder why am I loyal to delta?

I fly coach so there is always the feeling everyone up front has more space than me. Everything was fine - on time which is the most important thing!

Great overall experience and use of the Delta One lounge was amazing!

I used by Skymiles to upgrade to First so that I could comfortably work using my laptop. But WiFi was intermittent and unavailable for long periods. I feel like I wasted 70,000 miles :(

I love how the flight crews are now saying what the weather will be like, when we can expect to be able to get up and use the restrooms etc. I have to say also that our flight crews this trip were incredible - fast and courteous - and somehow managed to do the service even on these short flights with a few bumps. The only reason for an ok rating on entertainment was because these short flights are on planes without seatback displays but that's ok because I just download shows on my iPhone beforehand.

Flight was delayed and we were on the runway after landing for 30 mins

DTW line is too long. The flights from DTW to BWI are always delayed for unknown reasons.

Service was good for such a short flight. Small plane but smooth flight.

Could not hear any of the announcements. The speakers seemed out of service. I wish the entertainment system would allow me to watch on my own iPad than the airplane ‘s old display.

Starlink internet made the flight time shrink and I was able to work.

Seats are made for children. An 8 hour flight with tiny seats is more like a cattle car. Lost bags at Rome airport caused a 7 hour delay.

Baggage claim signs were not updated with my flight information, so I had to guess. The app wasn't updated either.

Not being stranded in Chicago for her airport to 11:30 tomorrow morning the 3rd

Everything was great. Only thing that could’ve made it better was buy on board options for hot food, but the snacks were decent. The flight attendants were great. I had no complaints. I was able to make it to my destination safely

David went above and beyond to make our flight the best that it could be

The crew and flight was amazing. I haven't flown United in years but plan to switch to you being my main airline

Wouldn’t let me check in said couldn’t find a ticket had to wait very long Time

Seat cushions were worn down and it hurts as I seated under 5 hours of the plane ride.

I wish I had another choice. Domestic flight in the USA is atrocious.

The wifi was broken. The temperature on the plane was quite warm, and my air vent didn't seem to blow anything but warm air. The flight attendants were nice.

This flight left LAX on time and arrived early in HNL. The flight crew was excellent, no issues with service or attentiveness. My issue is with the A321neo ... First class should be renamed business class as the seats are not that comfortable. And, having to use my phone as the entertainment device is just not acceptable ... I'm not going to carry a tablet so I can watch a movie. The music choices are limited, at least IMO.

Seats are getting smaller and smaller. In flight movies are poor compared to other airlines. Food is mediocre.

There was a 4 hour delay, some of which was attributed to ATC weather but started with maintenance and then later also log books. Though the flight went far beyond the scheduled time, there were no accommodations such as additional meal options or anything else.

My flight left Honolulu EIGHT hours late due to lack of flight crew. This was the second time in 2026. The first class staff were excellent ... personable and friendly. The food was okay ...

The food in first class has taken a big downturn

Had issues (application error) selecting my seat before checking in. Return Flight was delayed over 2 hours. Sat on the tarmac for 20 mins after landing Overall, not good of an experience compared to the times I have flown AA. Not sure I’m coming back.

Flight was delayed, boarded, sat at the gate for more than 30 minutes, left the gate then waited on the pad for another 30 to 60 minutes then returned to the gate, deboarded and was cancelled... alternative flight was not booked automatically. Waited in line for 30 minutes but fortunately an alternate flight to a different destination was found ... no thanks to the travel agent used by kayak

The flight changed gates multiple times and flight had to be delayed multiple times

I like that the crew kept us informed but we moved back and forth from gate to gate before the aircraft arrived.

Airport staff was terrible, they made up excusses on how I can get to my terminal, I missed my flight then had to pay for A whole other flight! Worst experience ever, even A employee also loughed and said yea sorry for our poor training.

THE BARE METAL SEATS AT THE FRONTIER GATE IN CLEVELAND HOPKINS AIRPORT ARE DISGUSTING...BUT JUST A LITTLE BETTER THAN THE SEAT MATERIALS ON THE PLANE! THE "COMMERCIAL" ANNOUNCMENT PUSHING THE CREDIT CARD DEAL IS OBNOXIOUS AND UNWELCOME! THE VOLUME OF THE OFFER ANNOUNCMENET BLARES LOUDLY AND IS FILLED WITH A HYPED UP, CANNED SCRIPT. BOTTOM LINE IS THE FLIGHT AND THE CREW WERE VERY GOOD EXCEPT FOR THE ABOVE.

Maximizing profits is one way to a healthy bottom line, the other is repeat business and referrals from satisfied customers. Frontier has clearly chosen the former. One of many examples: Family emergency required me to cut trip short. Headed to the airport to fly standby for the return trip I had already paid for (yes I understand prices vary with demand etc). Was told there is no standby and that I would need to pay for, despite what it's called by the company, what amounts to a new ticket. And surprise surprise, there turned out to be dozens of empty seats on that flight. To say nothing of the sleazy third and fourth party resellers, the flight/ticket insurance I elected and thought I had paid for that mysteriously wasn't there when I needed it before I left, and on and on with third world sleazy management decisions. The inflight coffee (that I had to pay for) was very good though.

You have to be super careful when purchasing as *everything*, a carryon or a sip of soda, has a fee. They relentlessly chip away at you with surcharges and extra costs … and it’s not always clear what you are getting when you buy your ticket. Will not fly them again. And … crew were not friendly until off boarding .. like they don’t like working for Frontier.

Air was off while waiting on the runway and the temperatures became very uncomfortably hot. Flight attendants were very loud and rude the entire flight.

Inbound plane was on time and flight departed on time with no issues while boarding.

After boarding and un-boarding twice over 6+hours, the flight was canceled.

The Boarding process in Denver was chaotic, and since the line was so long, we were lined up very far from the gate. If there were any announcements from the gate staff, we didn't hear them. The flight attendants were spectacular. The only negative part of the flight was sitting by a 2 1/2 year old who was unruly and unfortunately had parents that matched his behaviors. Also, the restaurants in Denver on the E concourse, they didn't have food (passengers could only order 1 item on the entire menu) or the restaurants had 12-14 people waiting for orders to be prepared and another 6 people waiting to order. If you have a layover in Denver and need to grab food, be prepared to visit the shops with pre-packaged sandwiches, or you can visit another concourse but it may take a while to transit throughout the airport.

30 minute delay due to boarding and settling of a family.

Flight was fine, but the legroom between seats for taller passengers is very tight and bad on the knees. I t is very hard to find an angle, that works, especially on a long flight!!!
