NEW
ENHANCED SIGNAGE
Reagan National has updated its signs to reflect terminal and gatesign terminology used at most other airports . The enhancements are designed to make it easier for travelers to navigate inside and outside of the airport . The airport added the letters A , B , C , D or E before each gate number to make groups of gates easier to find . No gates or airlines have moved , but passengers are advised to check their boarding pass and use in-airport monitors to confirm the gate they are heading to . To find a gate , passengers will follow the letter first , then the gate number . Exterior signage , including signs on the roadway and at Metro entrances , transitioned from Terminal A to Terminal 1 and Terminal B / C to Terminal 2 . Signs for the parking garages associated with each terminal were updated to Parking 1 and Parking 2 .
The re-naming follows completion of Project Journey , a $ 1 billion capital project that built two new security screening areas , opening more of the newly named Terminal 2 to “ post-security ,” and added a new concourse to accommodate American Airlines ’ regional flights , which formerly required a bus ride from the gate to remotely parked airplanes . This construction eliminated three smaller security checkpoints that were located at the entrances to concourses . Space vacated by the former checkpoints is being converted into space for new concessions , restrooms , and seating areas .
“ We believe these sign enhancements will assist travelers moving through the terminals ,” said Vice President and Reagan National Airport Manager Paul Malandrino . “ With new facilities constructed as part of Project Journey , updating the signs airport-wide became the next logical step to help passengers navigate the airport . Our team has worked hard to prepare for the conversion of over 1,000 signs .”
