DCA on a Friday night?

So, DH and I are flying out of Reagan National next Friday.  The flight leaves at 6:15 PM and we're not checking anything.  What time should we try to get there by?  I was thinking of leaving my office by 4:00 or so.  I'm near the King Street Metro, so the Metro ride shouldn't take too long, but I don't want to cut it close if security tends to be busier on a Friday night.  Any suggestions, or does this sound like enough time?

  • That should be enough time assuming there's not a huge delay on metro (which is a total crapshoot these days)

    Do you have your boarding passes already?  

    Friday nights can be busy with business travelers, but even on a busy night I've never waited more than 10-15 minutes at security.   

  • OK, that was my thought.  I've always flown out of DCA at random times, not traditionally busy ones like Friday night or Saturday morning.

    Thanks!

  • I've flown out Friday night, Saturday morning, and a bunch of other random times. I have never waited in a security line for more than 5-7 minutes which is why I love DCA. Such an easy airport to get to and get through.
  • I think that should be fine as well, given that it's not a holiday weekend.  Even if Metro sucks and you don't make it there until after 5:00, that should still give you plenty of time to go through security if you don't need to check in or check luggage.
