If you're not checking bags: I'd say about 6:45.

If you are checking bags: I'd say about 6:15.

It won't take you more than an hour, even with horrendous traffic.

Traffic will be mostly smooth sailing for you since you're mostly going against traffic. Only congested point will probably be 66 West in Arlington. If you live in upper NW, River Road to 495 to the Dulles Toll Road is probably your best bet.

I'd build in another 30 minutes for the shuttle. It can be hard to find a spot and if you just miss a shuttle, it can take a while for another to come by. The longest wait I had was 20 min. and then another 5 minutes drive to the terminal. Then the security line ended up being huge, so I was sweating it and got to the gate after they had already started boarding.

Per the airport website you need to be there by 7:00AM. I would leave at 6:00AM. I don't trust any Virginia highway at any hour nor do I trust airport operations.
