Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport DCA is located in Arlington, Virginia--across the Potomac River and the Nation's capital, Washington, D.C. It is situated on GW Memorial Parkway and connected to US Rt 1 (Jefferson Davis Hwy) by airport viaduct (or State 233); I-395 is just north of DCA Airport and accessible by GW Parkway and Route 1.
Reagan Washington National is the closest airport to the Capital; however, with only mid-size runways, it primarily serves as a short-haul airport, with airline service restricted to a 1,250 mile perimeter, with some exceptions. The Airport is used by nearly 18 million passengers a year.
Ronald Reagan National has one large passenger building, which is divided into three sections, referred to as Terminals A (forming the semi-circle at the east end), and the three-level Terminals B and C. High-speed internet is available throughout the terminals. Level 2, the Concourse Level has access to the Metro station from Terminals B & C.
Terminal A has outside two pet relief areas at either end, and a walkway in the center leading to parking and rental cars. Inside of Terminal A , on the main level, are ticketing desks for Air Canada, AirTran, Frontier, Midwest & Spirit, and after security check, its concourse leads to gates 1-9.
Terminal B has on level 1 Baggage Claim area 1-6; and on Level 3 the Ticketing/Checkin area, both for Alaska, American, Continental & Delta airlines. On the same level, after security check, are gates 10-22.
Terminal C has on level 1 Baggage Claim area 7-12; and on Level 3 the Ticketing/Checkin area, both for United & US Airways; and, after security check, gates 35-45
Terminals B & C, after security check at the center of B/C have on the Departures level gates 23-34.
The 'National Hall' between Terminals B & C houses high-quality shops and eateries under soaring windows and 54 'Jeffersonian' domes that mirror the capital’s trademark architecture. Other amenities inside the terminals include:
Information counters (703-417-8000), Customer Service Centers in Terminals B & C offer foreign currency exchange, which is also offered by Travelex in the National Hall, concourse level; ATM machines are located throughout the terminals; a chapel/meditation room is at the south end of Terminal B, at concourse level; paging is available at Information and Travelers Aid counters; a USO Lounge is at Terminal A, main level (703-417-8876); and shoe shine, lost & found and hotel information are at your service..
