International Layover Time

I am flying into Washington Dulles (IAD), and 80 minutes later am scheduled to fly out to Manchester, UK (MAN). Is 80 minutes enough time to get to the international terminal and onto my flight? I am traveling in a group with 9 students, and am concerned. What can I do to get through quickly?

There is no international terminal at IAD. All flights leave from one of the concourses at the main terminal, and there is no passport control for leaving the US. Therefore your connection is no different than a pure domestic one. Just get to the new gate. 80 minutes is fine.

Thanks. I knew it would be close if we had to get to international, so that's a relief.

Are you booked on one ticket to Manchester from wherever whuch just happens to go through IAD.

If not then it's unlikely you will be able to check your luggage through which means you have to collect and recheck luggage which would make it extremely difficult to make the connection.

Even on two separate tickets, you can generally check baggage all the way through unless you are flying a budget carrier into IAD.
