Plane spotting Washington, spotting Dulles Airport

The Marriott Dulles Airport is situated right at the centre of the airport complex and is connected with the airport by means of a frees shuttle bus. When you book this hotel make sure you ask for a room with a lakeside view. From these rooms you will get a somewhat distant view of the approach to runway 01R. With the help of a scanner you can make a note of the flight numbers of the arrivals and hopefully tie them up on ACARS.

Location *** Great location being so close to the airport.

Spotting ** You can see things from the rooms with a view of the lake, but they tend to be a bit too far away to read off easily.

Photos * No reports available.

Value *** Great value for a twin room with prices typically £48 for one night.
