Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) is the main international airport for Washington, DC. It sits in Dulles, Virginia, in Loudoun and Fairfax counties, about 26 miles (42 km) west of downtown Washington, and opened in 1962. Its smaller sister airport, Reagan National (DCA), is closer to the city and mostly domestic.
United Airlines runs a hub at Dulles and carries most of its passengers, and more than 50 airlines fly here, with many long-haul routes to Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. The airport handled about 29 million passengers in 2025, a record.
Check-in, baggage claim and the International Arrivals Building are in the Main Terminal, known for its swooping roof. The gates are in midfield Concourses A and B (non-United airlines) and C and D (United), reached by the underground AeroTrain or, for some gates, by the airport's mobile lounges.
The Metro Silver Line, opened in 2022, stops at the airport and runs into Washington, and most travelers continue to the city, Tysons, Reston or Northern Virginia.

At Dulles, your plane arrives at one of the midfield concourses or, for some flights, at a remote stand served by the mobile lounges. Domestic passengers take the AeroTrain or a mobile lounge to the Main Terminal, where baggage claim is on the lower level.
If you arrive on an international flight, you clear US Customs and Border Protection in the International Arrivals Building at the Main Terminal; many international passengers reach it by mobile lounge. United international arrivals at gates C1 to C14 have their own processing. If you are eligible, Global Entry or Mobile Passport Control can shorten the line.
After baggage claim, follow the signs for taxis, ride apps and the Metro. Washington Flyer runs the airport's taxi service. The Silver Line Metro station is reached from the Main Terminal. Your driver meets you at the arrivals level outside baggage claim, as shown in your confirmation.
A pre-booked driver meets you at the Main Terminal and takes you to downtown Washington, Tysons, Reston or elsewhere in Northern Virginia and Maryland. The easiest option with luggage, given the 26-mile distance.
The Silver Line runs from the airport station into Washington and through Northern Virginia. Cheap, but slower than driving and you carry your bags.
Washington Flyer runs the airport's taxi service from the official stand outside baggage claim.
Ride apps pick up at signposted areas; an airport fee applies to each trip.
Routes 952 and 983 serve the Kiss and Fly area near the Metro station.
