While the location and proximity to DC is great, the airport isn't. Terminal A is a total zoo. Very poorly designed. It's overcrowded with too many gates and not enough seats. On top of that, the design of the terminal makes it feel even more crowded. All the gates are close together in a circle, with a restaurant in the middle. If you are flying out during the afternoon, good luck finding a place to sit. It took me 10 minutes to find an open seat in THE WHOLE TERMINAL, let alone my gate. Additionally, there is no food court, or any designated spaces for restaurants or stores. They made one section of the main hallway (right before all of the gates) a giant restaurant and store with and it was very chaotic. on top of that, there was no seating anywhere, so the only place to sit down was by all of the gates or the restaurant in the middle of the gates, and that was if you could actually find an open seat. This place needs to be redone so badly. Also, security was pretty long for the size line they were dealing with. The line wasn't long at all, but it still took 30 minutes to get through.
