The both loved and hated jet-age mobile lounges at Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) have a bit more life left in them yet.
The vehicles that ferry travelers to and from several of IAD's concourses and the international arrivals facility cannot be retired until the mid-2030s when several critical pieces of the airport's $19.9 billion redevelopment are complete, a timeline presented Wednesday by airport operator the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) shows.
The authority must build a new connector building between the historic Eero Saarinen-designed main terminal and Concourse A-B and extend the underground AeroTrain before the lounges can be parked for good.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
