A flyertalk hack with US airports is to take a free hotel shuttle and ask them to hang on to your bags if you have a few hours. Not many places offering luggage storage at airports anymore, presumably an antiterror thing.
Thanks. Dulles is a bit of a pain - usually we go to the annex air museum but being the holiday nada will be open. We'll aim at getting there around 2 p.m. and see what happens, if all else fails we'll just hang out and people watch. I'm wanting to check the new Turkish lounge, main reason for asking.
Thanks again!
