Main airport
DCA – Washington D.C.
Flying to Washington D.C.
The nation’s capital is served by three main airports: Reagan National, Dulles, and Baltimore. Each has trade-offs—convenience vs. price—so comparing them pays off.
Getting there
Reagan National (DCA) is the closest to downtown, with mostly domestic and short-haul flights. Dulles (IAD) is in Virginia and handles most long-haul international traffic. Baltimore (BWI) is about 40 miles away and is a major budget-carrier hub—often the cheapest option. Use the search form above to compare all three; the best choice depends on your route, dates, and whether you mind a longer ground transfer.
When to fly
Peak times are cherry blossom season (spring), holidays, and summer. For better value, look at January–February or August–September. Midweek is usually cheaper than weekends.
If you're mainly visiting the Mall and museums, DCA’s convenience can be worth a bit more. If you're on a tight budget, BWI plus train or shuttle is often the smart move.
