Pro Tips
- Port City Optimal Wit is brewed in Alexandria, Virginia, just 15 minutes from the airport. It is a refreshing Belgian-style wheat beer.
- If this club is full, the Concourse C United Club is connected via AeroTrain and may have more availability.
- Request a shower suite upon arrival. With three suites serving a major hub, waits can build by mid-afternoon.
- The Virginia peanut soup is a regional specialty that appears regularly on the menu. It is rich, creamy, and unique to this location.
