The airport as a place

Dulles is a beautiful idea from 1962 and a walk from 2026. The main terminal still makes you look up. Then the midfield terminals make you look at your watch. I have made the train, missed the train, and stood on the people-mover like a man in a science film.

As travel news, the current event is the walk. As a review, the building is a mixed bag with a great roof. Bring water. The restaurants past security are a separate, ruder review.

Budget an extra hour. Sit near an outlet you have already tested. Eat before you get to the gate.
