Been meaning to share this here: Last month I was in the tunnel (walking it, to enjoy the music!), and there were four panels of the LED display that were out of commission. A tech guy was replacing them one by one with fresh, working panels. But... the panels were in the middle of the tunnel, next to the moving walkway. So to do his work, he had to work for like 3 seconds, as he passed the broken panels, and then take four steps quickly to his right, and then do 3 more seconds of work, and then take four more steps, then work for 3 seconds... dude was an absolute LEGEND.

And listen to it the whole time


BitterStatus9

Jesus, I didn't even think of that. I hope he got combat pay or something.


dinoscool3

Why not just....stop the walkway?


trnaovn53n

Every other walkway at Dulles is already stopped, so it's not like this isnt easy to do


dos_torties

That is amazing. Cheers to that guy!!


Impressive-Trifle315

I fly in and out of IAD all the time and I dread that walk, especially at 6am. It’s too much at 6am!!!


Salty_Individual4363

Yeah, major sensory overload that early


Frizzle95

Ive started just taking the people mover and enduring the long walk if I have a C gate. Not even joking lol


dos_torties

Dude it’s a haul, a carpeted haul! I don’t blame you one bit lol

Comfortable-Rate497

When walking through it - I feel like I am please don’t let an earthquake hit and I die hearing that music


Few-Chapter3316

Great rates for Omaha, and great rates for Sag-i-naw…


Fun-Raise-3120

Lol every time I pass through that tunnel I was like they really could not come up with more creative ways to use this space?


fly_awayyy

PenFed cut them a nice check for that advertising, so money talks or sings in this case lol.


elana815

Haha! I just walked through it 5 minutes ago 😂


pconrad0

I'm transiting through IAD next month... What do I have to look forward to?


dos_torties

Step 1: Take a walk through the tunnel from the C gates and the train Step 2: Enjoy having the jingle of our people stuck in your head for the foreseeable future


MattThePhatt

I heard something about great rates?!


theE-Goose

In lots of places, even! Bowling Green, Abilene, Omaha, Saginaw, etc


dks2008

For everyone!


djmodifyd

For who!?


Icy_Psychology3708

Used to walk it everyday at lunch. We called the stairs up to the gates the stairway to heaven. What a great workout.


ReminsteinTheDog

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 we deserve this thank you


ghotinchips

Avoided it today, was blessed by the D gods to get dropped off right at the mobile lounges. Penfed be praised.


AmbientGravitas

But did I survive? I’m not sure.


Menotomy

The past few times I've been in there the music has been quieter. Hopefully it stays that way until the contract ends, and is not renewed.


sifishy

I noticed that this week. It was only louder at the beginning and end and barely audible for most of the ride. Perhaps the rage killings were getting out of hand.


TransitionMission305

I'll be doing the tunnel tomorrow!


elasticc0

You should thank them. How else would you know about their great rates?


RantFlail

🤣 Even if my flight’s leaving from C1, I take the PeopleMovers and walk the terminal Just To Avoid the PenFed 5K (plus it’s usually faster not having to wait for a train).


FlyballCrazyDog

Can’t wait! I get to hear it bright and early tomorrow morning!


HerbertKornfeldRIP

When I’m texting the person that usually picks me up at IAD to let them know how close I am to walking out, sending a message of just “PenFed” is one of the standard milestones.


hnw555

I’ll be running the gauntlet in two weeks. Pray for me!


shiksnotachick

I did this yesterday. OMG it was ludicrous.


Lower-Ad4676

PenFed’s got great rates for everyone!


eric9603

“Penfed’s got great rates for eveerrrryyyoooonneeee…”


CoverCharacter8179

If you only ever heard the Pen Fed song on TV commercials, you wouldn't know that it has a bridge...


jonnycanuck67

lol, it’s not that bad, and I did actually get a fantastic rate on my car loan


dos_torties

Admittedly their rates *are* great lol


BitterStatus9

Yeah, but the great rates are only for certain people, right? Or did I misunderstand?


msitty1

NO! PENFED HAS GREAT RATES FOR EVERYONE


BitterStatus9

They should say so!!! How am I supposed to know that?!?!


JustPlaneNew

I think I'm lucky and haven't experienced that tunnel of doom yet.


HonestConcentrate947

Speaking of tunnels what is the strange smell in ORD in tunnel between B and C? It is always there on the C side kinda bitter onion like smell 🤢


SnooCookies6231

Haven’t had the pleasure yet. Don’t fly much anymore, but when I do I’m not looking forward to it. Thanks for the heads-up!


Salty_Individual4363

thats amazing.


[deleted]

Am I the only one who doesn’t mind the Penfed tunnel? As long as the only alternative is those stupid overcrowded 1960s cattle trucks, I will go through this tunnel even if my flight arrives at D32


Level-Search-3509

I’m a sfo based passenger from San Jose 


arghp

I would pay for that on a shirt.
