On Monday night’s United Airlines flight 2129 redeye from San Diego to Washington Dulles a prisoner was being escorted on the aircraft – and tried to escape.
This lounge is too small for the volume of passengers and it turns an architecturally interesting space with tarmac views into a chaotic mess.
After my brief stop at the Air France lounge I continued my tour of Washington Dulles airport Priority Pass lounges. Next stop: the Virgin Clubhouse by gate A32.
This lounge was renovated shortly before the pandemic, and while I guess it is… different than before I also wonder, given what it’s like now, why did they bother?
The Chase Sapphire lounge is small, but I was there in the morning – from around 8 a.m. until 11 a.m. it wasn’t super busy and there was plenty of available space. The lounge is well laid-out, food is good, and staff are friendly. The exterior of the lounge is branded Etihad (it’s a joint Etihad and Chase lounge but the exterior signage doesn’t mention Chase) and I wonder if that limits awareness and thus crowding.
Congressional Republicans want to rename Washington Dulles International Airport for Donald Trump. Western Pennsylvania Congressman Guy Reschenthaler is soliciting colleagues to join him as co-sponsor of legislation.
Chase’s Washington Dulles airport lounge is now open. It’s been redesigned as a Chase Sapphire Lounge, in the old Etihad Airways lounge space, and still hosts Etihad premium passengers for their once daily flight as well.
ATC says “we are dispatching emergency services to your location now.” And the pilot gives their location as “Across from the Wendy’s and Aldi’s.”
Southern Airways Express flight 246 took off from Washington Dulles airport this afternoon at around 12:45 p.m. from runway 30. Two minutes later the Cessna 208B Grand Caravan landed on the Loudoun County Parkway. Two pilots and five passengers were on board, and all are reported safe. Dulles airport remains open.
A passenger traveling through Washington Dulles airport had her backpack stolen with her laptop inside. There’s almost no worse place to steal something than an airport, if you can get cooperation from officials. There are cameras everywhere. But she was on her own to investigate – after receiving nude photos of herself via online messaging.
