Unfortunately, FI is on concourse A, so I won't be able to use either of those lounges and none of the other lounge passes get me into the AF lounge beyond 2:30pm.

While you won't find anything with a Michelin star or two at IAD, there are a significant number of decent places to eat where you can hang out and have a nice slow meal and spend a lot less than you will on a lounge.

Re: Pre-check, if my itinerary begins at SDF on UA, will my pre-check status carry through to IAD?
