I have a general travel question. Given that I expect us to go over our allotted time by at least two hours on Saturday, is it prudent for me to book a flight out of IAD knowing that as an international traveller I have to be at the checkin counter no later than 7:30pm? In other words, will traffic on Saturday evening permit a trip of two hours between DC and Dulles? (I'm guessing it can be, but never having actually made the trip before, I'm hesitant to book without knowing how much of a squeeze I'm putting myself in.). The other option is spending another $500 CAD to stay overnight and catch an early afternoon flight. GNSO.SECRETARIAT@GNSO.ICANN.ORG wrote:
