We were able to go there last November. Though it is a small lounge, it is still pretty cool and I love that we have it IAD. I try my best now not to fly from DCA. I wish the CO Landing in DCA will happen soon!

[@travel.destinasians]

We agree! Although quite small, we absolutely loved it. We’re also patiently waiting for DCA to open too, fingers crossed it’s super soon 🤞🏽

Where did you go once you got to the top of the escalators? It is super hard to find that elevator from there. Can you describe it?

[@travel.destinasians]

If coming from regular TSA, you’ll see some ads pointing to the direction of the lounge. So once you clear TSA, you’ll go up the escalators and turn right. Keep walking until you see either an elevator (which can take you one floor up), or if you keep walking past the elevator, you’ll see stairs that go up to TSA Precheck that says ‘Do Not Enter’ at the top. You can climb up those stairs, and then turn around and the lounge will be right there. Kinda confusing coming from regular TSA.
If coming from TSA Precheck, it’s right after you clear the security before walking down the stairs
