One of the nation's better airports for the passenger, even though it's cramped and shows its age. Get right on the Metro, or if you're Pentagon-bound the hotels around the Puzzle Palace all have free 5 minute shuttles.

Not so much fun for aircrews because of the extensive security procedures and the "interesting" approach into 19.
