Getting to the Plane

From there, take a mobile lounge to Concourses A, B, C or D; from the upper-level "M" gates directly to the aircraft; or proceed down the escalator to the lower level "T" gates in the Main Terminal. Mobile lounges run at least every 5 minutes.
Baggage Claim
Baggage for arriving domestic flights at Washington Dulles International is transported by airlines to the Baggage Claim Level of the Main Terminal. Baggage on international flights is processed in the Federal Inspection areas. Baggage Information Display Boards located throughout the airport show the location of the baggage claim area for each arriving flight.
International Arrivals Building
Passengers arriving on international flights are transported by mobile lounges from the plane to the International Arrivals Building (IAB) located at the west end of the Main Terminal.
Once cleared through the IAB, passengers follow a corridor to the Baggage Claim Level of the Main Terminal.

Other Security Screening Tips:
Passengers are required to show a boarding pass and government-issued photo ID, such as a driver's license or current passport at the security screening checkpoints. Passengers may obtain a boarding pass from the airline ticket counter, at curbside check-in or if available, at airline self-service kiosks and on-line at the airline websites. Limit carry-on bags to one bag plus one personal item (such as a purse or a briefcase). TSA security measures require careful screening of carry-on luggage. Passengers are urged to leave any sharp objects (pocket knives, scissors, etc) at home or in their luggage checked in at the ticket counter. For passengers with medical conditions that require you to carry a needle and/or syringe on your person or in your carry on baggage you must also have the medication that requires such injection on your person. The medication must be packaged with a pharmaceutical label or professionally printed label identifying the medication. All electronic items, such as laptops, cell phones, pagers, may be subjected to additional screening. Be prepared to remove your laptop from its travel case so that both can be X-rayed separately. Also be prepared to turn all electronic devices on for screeners.
