KAYAK’s top tips for finding a cheap flight from Washington, D.C. Dulles Intl Airport to Chennai

  • To fly to Chennai from Washington, you can board your flight at Dulles International Airport (IAD), Ronald Reagan Washington Airport (DCA), or Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). Of these three airports, BWI has the least traffic. Therefore, you should board your flight to Chennai at this airport to avoid long queues.
  • If you're a traveling mother, you can breastfeed your kid or breast pump privately, as IAD features eight outstanding nursing rooms. In the airport's pre-security area, four nursing rooms are located next to the restrooms across from Baggage Claims 2, 6, 11, and 14. Gates A20, B70, C11, and D1 have one each in the airport's post-security area.
  • On the date you're scheduled to fly to Chennai from Washington, you should get to IAD at least 2h before your flight. Doing so will leave you with a lot of time to make your way through the security checks to the gates.
  • To travel from Chennai International Airport (MAA) to Chennai Central, you can board a bus, taxi, or metro. Although all these means of travel are reliable, you should board a bus if you're on a budget, a taxi if you're in a rush, and a metro if you'd like to balance speed and cost to travel to Chennai Central.
  • To transact with ease while in Chennai and its environs, convert your US Dollars to Indian Rupees. In IAD, there are currency exchange locations in all the concourses.

Good service. But on flight to Kochi no entertainment except in app. And no working outlets to charge phone.

It was fantastic. The flight from Chicago to Abu Dahbi was fantastic. The crew, food and service were amazing. Everything was handled by the crew member assigned to us , Nicholas, was usually done before we asked for it. Highly recommend Etihad!

Was so disappointing. Business class with no TV, uncomfortable seats. Had much higher expectations.

I missed my flight ,staff unhelpful, they sat and watched me wait ,gangway door closed, English was a problem no announcement I was on time now I missed my month vacation ,lost 1400 bucks no refund I'm sick to my stomach

It’s a business class ticket but they didn’t give a lounge access

Crew was amazing as usual. Very comfortable for a 13hour flight. Check in at ATL was terrible. Ticket counter charged me $200 for a small bag. Apparently Kayak sold me a zero luggage ticket. No carry on no checked. So the check in desk charged me a bullshit $200 dollar fee for a small gym bag weighing less than 20lbs. In true 3rd party ticket buying. This will turn into a finger pointing process between Kayak and Etihad. Now I'm going to have to ship my bag back in the mail a day ahead of my return flight.

The flight from Abu Dabhi to Bangalore was terrible. The plane was an order model with no onboard entertainment. The beverage selection were very limited.

We booked a business class ticket via Underpricer. Somehow they screwed up our ticket from Abu Dhabi to Ahmedabad. We will be hesitant to book again with them.

It was worst flight ever of 26h. Poor service and seating. Flight from Abu Dhabi to Islamabad service and seating was worst ever. No tv extra.

It was OK as the seat which we paid for doesn’t have any window. We paid $120 for 3 seats but it’s for nothing. Crew could not help. None of the ports worked so all our phones went dry
