Staring down the international travel booking barrel today. Current grappling with the question of whether, given a 3 ½ hour connection window, I’m willing to accept a connection that has me transfer from IAD to DCA, given there is train service between the two that takes 1 ½ hours to navigate (including walking time). Is two hours enough time to deplane, clear customs, and get through DCA TSA? Seems dicey, even with Global Entry.
Overwhelming consensus is that it’s too tight and not worth the risk. So now I have to search for other flight paths that don’t have a similar transfer time, except between JFK and LaGuardia (LOL no).
