Dulles International Airport

NOW OPEN - A New Place to Get Screened

As part of the D2 Program at Dulles, two new Security Screening Mezzanines will replace the existing TSA checkpoints.  These new mezzanines opened for all passengers on September 15, 2009.  Click here to read the press release about this opening.

Security Screening

Previously, passengers entered security screening from the Ticket Counter (Departures) level of the Main Terminal.  With the new Security Screening Mezzanine, the number of security entrances have been expanded on each level:

  • Ticket Counter (Departures) level: Two security screening entrances, each marked "TO ALL GATES."
  • Baggage Claim (Arrivals) level: Two security screening entrances, also marked "TO ALL GATES."  This is a convenient option for passengers with pre-printed boarding passes and no checked baggage.  The entrances are located near bag claim numbers 4 and 12. 
  • Dulles Diamond (Expert Traveler): No change to this security screening location, near bag claim number 8 in the middle of the Baggage Claim (Arrivals) level.
New Entrance

After proceeding through security, follow the signs to your departing flight's gate area. You will see the AeroTrain Main Terminal Train Station platform enroute. We are currently conducting system testing. Mobile lounge service remains in effect.
