PHL->IAD->NRT

Greetings,

Haven't been able to find anything using the search feature regarding Transferring from a Domestic to an International flight at IAD (lots of International to Domestic posts).

I haven't flown internationally through IAD so this is new to me.

I'm flying to IAD from PHL on United tomorrow morning in ordfer to transfer to a flight to NRT (ANA).

Will I need to recheck my luggage?
If I do need to recheck my luggage, do I recheck my bag at the ticket counter or is there a "transfers" gate I can go to to check my luggage (assuming I can "check the luggage through").

Thanks in Advance!
Dave

No need to recheck luggage. Domestic->International is exactly like Domestic->Domestic - you just go to the outbound gate from your inbound gate. You'll get all your boarding passes at PHL for both UA and ANA.

ANA leaves from B terminal. Since you're arriving from PHL on UA, you might be arriving in the C or D terminals. If C, take the train to the last stop (one stop after Arrivals) to get to B. If D, take the shuttle.

ANA leaves from B45. If you are arriving at Dulles on UA3341 tomorrow morning at 11:27, it is showing arrival at gate A5, just a 12 minute walk to
B45.
