Does DCA have a SkyPriority (Delta) line at security? What can I expect time-wise at 10am on a Sunday?

DCA is not a delta hub. Unless your priority class give you something like you can go through TSA pre heck you have no “ advantage”

DCA has a new design thst started 2+ yrs ago.

Sincr Delta gates are in concourse B you want to go through security south side of airport. From metro platform at DCA this os the way the Franconia/ Huntington bound trains are going thrn down escalators thrn left over the bridge to the main airport. You have security on thr side at thst level thst you can go through with electronic boarding pass.

E and D are american
C is mostly American. I think some jet blue there
B is delta, United, Alaska
A is southwest, frontier

Sunday at

10 am…it probably won’t be too long of lines at security.

Thanks. Time was even Richmond Airport had a Delta SkyPriority line, but what went away in covid times has still not returned

I'll be doing a rental car drop off, is it straight forward/a short walk to the terminal, or is there a bus or something I'll need?

As an aside, I have many fond memories of when it was only the "Historic Lobby", those were the days.

On the map above, near parking #1 (in kinda the lower right hand side of the map) there's a white box that says rental cars. From there, you can easily go along from north-ish end parking garage 1 and the rental car return traveling north along a covered walkway towards parking garage 2, hang a right and go across the bridge over the road from the southern-ish end of parking garage 2 to the terminal. I've never timed it, but I'd be surprised if it's more than a five minute trip. It's easy and well-signed.

5-7 minute walk, depending on your speed. One small caveat. Avis and Budget recently moved off airport, if you are renting from them, allow more time
