Airport Operating Status During Government Shutdown
We anticipate normal operations for travelers at Reagan National during the government shutdown. Airport functions such as parking, concessions, customer service and public safety that are provided by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority are not tied to the federal budget and will continue normally.
The staffing of essential federal services such as security screening and air traffic control could affect flight schedules or wait times. Updated guidance will be posted here as needed.
Passenger guidance:
Arrive inside the terminal at least two hours before a domestic flight and three hours before an international flight.
Check live security wait times here.
Double-check the status of your flight directly with your airline.
TSA's Lost and Found office at DCA is closed due to staffing. Please be extra mindful of your belongings in the security screening area. Submit claims on TSA.gov.
