There’s a brand new, 435,000-square-foot Concourse E open now at Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) and it’s the airport’s first new concourse in nearly two decades.
Here’s what’s there:
14 new United gates with direct access to the AeroTrain. New dining and retail options, enhanced restrooms, a pet relief area and a new, nearly 40,000-square-foot United Club, which is one of the largest airline clubs in the Western Hemisphere.
The new Concourse E gate areas have plenty of natural light, in-seat power outlets and wireless charging pads. And each gate can support both domestic and international flights, with configurations that can accommodate one widebody plane or two narrowbody planes.
This concourse opening is a major milestone in the Dulles Global Gateway program, a more than $20 billion capital investment program that promises to totally modernize the airport over the next decade.
More Dining and Retail Choices
Dining and shopping options at Dulles Concourse E now include a food court with nationally known brands and local favorites. Look for Aventino, Bonchon, Dos Toros Taqueria, Ellie Bird, Good Company Doughnuts & Café, Honor Brewing, MurLarkey Distilled Spirits, Rusty Taco and Starbucks.
There’s also a Travel Tech and a branch of the video gaming lounge, Gameway.
United Airlines’ second largest lounge
Here’s what all the avgeeks and frequent travelers are most excited about.
Spanning nearly 40,000 square feet with seating for more than 600 customers, the new United Club in Concourse E is the airline’s second-largest club and increases United’s club and lounge space at Dulles by approximately 70 percent.
The lounge features a bar, two buffet stations, eight private phone rooms, complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi and power access at nearly every seat.
Design-wise, there’s a nod to the Washington, D.C. region with details inspired by the Dulles terminal architecture, cherry blossoms and the Blue Ridge Mountains. There’s also a collection of artwork by local and D.C.-affiliated artists throughout the space.
Located across from gates E14 and E16, the new United Club is open daily from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.
