Which IAD (Dulles) terminal for BA arrival?
For some reason, British Airways arrival info for Dulles doesn't include a terminal identification. I'm trying to find out which Dulles terminal I can expect flights from Heathrow to arrive at. Obviously it's one where immigration and customs are located at but I can't find that info either. By this time, I've read a lot about Dulles and it all sounds bad.

I just flew this route a couple of weeks ago. I don't know what terminal we arrived in, but after deplaning we all walked down a long hall and then were herded into a sort of trailer on wheels. We were transported to another building where the immigration and customs was. I am not sure if BA does this on every flight; I can tell you it took a long time. I'd say an hour from deplaning to getting to immigration. The line to get through immigration was insane but I have global entry so I didn't have to wait. If you are changing planes allow a lot of time.
Hopefully someone can answer your question about "which" terminal...

rialtogrl-Thanks for the reply. I finally found some info on the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority web site. It advises that there are two locations: The Intl Arrivals Bldg in the Main Terminal and a Transfer facility in the C-gates. BUT sometimes the C gate passengers have to go to the IAB site, depending on the "time of day or your airline's procedures." I'm connecting flights (from BA to AA) so I guess I'm hoping for the C-gates. Anyhow, for anyone who is reading this and has the same questions about Dulles that I have, go to www.metwashairports,com/dulles/884.htm.
