Do you have global entry? At Dulles you get transported to customs in a mobile lounge, and you may have to wait for the pilots and flight attendants. It can be a slow process when people are slow getting off the plane. I don’t think I would choose it as a US entry point if I didn’t live here.

Take an Uber and relax.
You have plenty of time between flights to make it from IAD go DCA and vice versa - and grab a meal.

Take Metro. It won't get stuck in traffic.

I would budget around an hour and 20 minutes - that's what it has been taking me to get from King St to Reston Town Center. There is a potentially long wait at Rosslyn, and the silver line for some reason slows the hell down after West Falls Church.

If we give them more money and officers, they don't seem to do any better though.

Reply to How do people find out about protests? by [deleted]
Just watch this subreddit. They're definitely the "protesting" type of crowd and will always post info.
You couldn't have a better approach to participating in a protest. Don't get invested.
The people telling you the protest has to align with your morals or passions are dorks.

Making that trip by metro (subway) will be a lot cheaper and should take only about 15 minutes longer, with no risk of traffic delays. You might consider that option, especially if you don't have much luggage.

You have more than enough time to metro, and it will save you a lot of money!

Reply to comment by Mediocre_Audience_61 in Opinion | Is D.C. juvenile justice a revolving door? We need to know. by Maxcactus
Slavery and systemic racism will always be this country's cardinal sin.
But for a city that has a near-Black-majority with most public officials being such as well, I'm going to go on a limb that it's not the sole, nor even primary driving force of this issue. Furthermore, the people who would love to be able to enjoy their day, walk outside and not get carjacked while trying to support their families are also Black. I'm sure they'd appreciate some safety and security too (while still having strong feelings about the Police as they should).
However I do agree that we need to both strengthen those social safety nets and police,/prosecute better (without violating civil rights) at the same time.
There's got to be a middle ground here because both extreme sides are untenable.

I would look into taking the metro from DCA out towards Dulles. You can buy a pass at the station. It’ll save you quite a bit of money.

Plenty of time. Even just taking the metro from DCA -> Rosslyn-> IAD would take a little over an hour

The metro now connects the airports in about an hour.

There is a weird mythology surrounding the existence of independently-minded cops. Cops draw from people who are ideologically oriented toward reinforcing whatever the existing system is. This is their role in literally every society that's ever had law enforcement. They will never not have sympathizers with extra-legal factions with that same system-reinforcing goal (proud boys).

It's giving the same energy as "WHY IS THE MEDIA NOT TALKING ABOUT THIS" from a person who then links to an article of the media doing exactly just that.
