Flight numbers with fewer than 90 operations on this route are left out. This is history, not a forecast for your flight.

What this does not include.

FlyerIntel cannot currently obtain live security wait times for IAD, so this figure does not account for the queue on the day.
It does not include your journey to the airport, parking, or a shuttle from a remote lot.
International departures, and travel with children, checked pets or special assistance, need more time.
