Dulles Connection Advice
 
Hey,

I am flying to Frankfurt with Lufthansa, and connecting in Dulles. My inbound United Flight from Atlanta I believe will arrive at the C or D gates, and I need to get to the B gates for Lufthansa.

How best to connect? AirTrain or Sky Lounge?
I will be traveling alone with two children. 1.5 years and 5 years. My connection time is 1h 50 minutes.

Is my connection time ‘comfortable’ or am I going to have to get moving?

It depends on if your lugga is checked through to your final destination as to whether the connection time is adequate. If you come into C, you would be best to take the train. However, if you come into the higher C gates (in the 20s) you can walk to D and catch the moon buggies. Be prepared to possibly come into A if your ATL flight is a regional jet. The United app has pretty good information on connections.

Scroll down to yhe terminal map.

If you are on a 3x3 jet you will com r into C/D which is mainly united. A is mainly united crop dusters of 2x2 or less. A and C with nain terminal and B with majn terminal are connected by a subway. You could walk from C to subway then takr it to main terminal then cross the pkstfotm and take the other train yo B.


If you come into D then you should use the people mover square box buses to the main terminal then train to B

Dulles does not havnoin terminal transport moving walkways.

So taking D box bus to A then walking down won't be an enjoyable walk

This us an interactive map
