Yesterday AlertDC reported: ” US Air Force reports a flyover in the NCR consisting of two (2) military aircrafts at National Park on Thursday, April 7th, 2022 at 3:59PM.”

CG writes: “The line at terminal A this morning, all the way to the front doors and then wrapped back ALL THE WAY back to the normal beginning of the line. At 5:30am. If you have early morning, get there early. Absolutely no pre check line.”

Johnny asks: “has anyone else living in SW also experienced an increase in noise coming from planes departing DCA lately the past few months?”
Melpomene Wetzlar replies: “There are more flights now since the COVID shutdown. Almost back to normal. The flight paths have not changed. Flights going to Boston,Newark,JFK, Providence, etc fly over the Anacostia. Flying over water plus cold weather & clouds will cause louder noises.”

More incentive to get through the new security checkpoints early. Thanks to James for sending: “Looks like a new outpost of Timber Pizza is in the works in the new concourse at DCA!”

Thanks to Commissioner Farnan for reporting this morning:
“Good morning from DCA! Dunkin’ Donuts line longer than TSA. If you have pre-check, you’re golden. If you don’t, you’re still looking at max 30 min security line. Safe travels!!!”
