best way from airport
Are you looking for the best way or the cheapest way? The best way is by taxi. Skip the time and hassle of the metro or the Blue Van. However, it%26#39;s also the most expensive option at about $50-$60 one-way.
For public transportation options, check www.mwaa.com and then click on ground transportation under IAD/Dulles and you%26#39;ll find all the options. In addition, you can do a search in the forum under ';Dulles Transportation'; and you%26#39;ll find some previous posts on the subject.
best way from airport
You have a few options:
1) Take a taxi. There is a taxi stand at the ground transportation level at Dulles where you can get a Washington Flyer taxi. Perhaps since there are 4 of you, the dispatcher can arrange for a minivan taxi.
2) Take the Washington Flyer bus(www.washfly.com) to the West Falls Church Metro station. It leaves from the arrivals level and costs $9/one way. This is an express ride to the West Falls Church Metro station and is a coach-style bus. Once at West Falls Church, take Metro(www.wmata.com) to Farragut North.
3) Arrange for a limo. Some companies to consider: Dulles Limousine (www.dulleslimousine.com); Burkilimo (www.burkilimo.com) and Boston Coach (http://www.bostoncoach.com/index.jsp)
4) Take the Super Shuttle (www.supershuttle.com/htm/cities/dca.htm). The biggest drawback to the Super Shuttle is that they pick up other passengers, too, so it could be a somewhat long ride.
5) And finally---The 5A Metrobus which costs $3/one way. Again--a long ride and not always a reliable one. Recently there was a thread in this forum which discusses this bus at length. Enjoy your stay!
