Airport Chronicles - IAD (Dulles International Airport-Washington DC)

Every long journey usually starts at an airport somewhere and in my case last week, it was Dulles international airport in Washington DC, or IAD in airport code. It was the first leg of my trip to the west coast, or more specifically, Los Angeles, California. I was there for a short vacation, just to visit family and friends and generally relax and de-stress. I will upload videos from my LA trip very soon so watch for them!

And hour and a half? My mom is a flight attendant and flies out of IAD to LAX frequently, but it takes about 4 - 5 hours.

@thomasc42 - I was talking about departure time, my flight leaves in an hour and a half

@evancortez2 Oh, my bad.

@thomasc42 - No prob

I've been there. I call it Dallas airport though.

[evancortez2]

That could get confusing though, don't you think?

[FortNikitaBullion]

@evancortez2 yes, but at least I can pronounce it.

@starwarsguy61 The flight is now known as Flight 149 and it operates with a Boeing 738 instead of a 752.

what airline was that? Jetblue is like right next to the gate you were at. I've sat at gate b-70 many times before! right next to where u were

Not to be mean but on September 11, 2001, the plane that hit the Pentagon building was an American Airlines flight 77, a Boeing 757 took off from where you were (Dulles International Airport) and it was supposed to go to Los Angeles. What gate were you at? Because if it was D26, that's where the plane took off from.
