I was thinking of surprising my wife with at trip over Christmas holidays. I was wondering where the best place to get a list of direct flights out of IAD would be either on DL or partner airlines. I'm sure it's somewhere obvious, I'm just not seeing it. Thank you.
I'll give you a list:
Delta flies out of IAD to JFK, ATL, CVG, DTW, MSP and SLC, and, during the winter months, has a flight once a week on Saturday IAD-CUN and return.
Air France has two flights a day to CDG, one goes before 5 p.m., the other goes after 10 p.m. In the summer this goes to 3 flights a day (the third goes around 1845). KLM has one flight a day to AMS, which I think goes at 1830.
Korean Air has a non-stop to ICN (I believe this is daily); this flight leaves around noon.
DL has code shares with each of these flights, so you can buy tickets through the DL website.
Delta uses gates 72-74-76-78 at the west end of the B concourse, which are a bit of a schlep from the top of the escalators leading to the new AeroTrain that runs to the main terminal. By contrast, AF, KLM and Korean Air use gates A20 and A22, at the opposite end of the same midfield building which contains the B gates. These gates are very close to the top of the escalators that lead to the other AeroTrain station. Additionally, they are across the concourse from the gates once used by Northwest; the space once occupied by the NW World Club has been reopened by AirFrance as a SkyTeam lounge; I understand that, when this room is open, DL pax with an SC membership on domestic tickets can use it. The lounge is open 3 hours before departure of the Korean, AF and KLM flights, meaning that it is not open early in the morning, during the lunch hour or between 6:30 and 7:30 p.m. in the winter.
Hope this helps.
