Take the shuttle, it's much easier. The shuttle from A to D only runs at specified times (United's Peak Connection Banks) so without knowing the times, you should be ok. The shuttle leaves across from D16 and drops you off 20 seconds away from A6.

Third ET12 and Goingaway. The shuttle, for all the complaints, is still a quick trip.

I ended up trying both options for my trip. Took the shuttle from D gates to A gates on Thursday, and used the train on Saturday to get from A gates to C gates.

The amount of walking for the train seems absurd, as such I will use the shuttle for all future connections at IAD.

Very kind. I think I got my workout for the day in though.

Thanks for everyone's help!


That's really annoying...happened to me at EWR last week. Glad you made it!
