Washington Flight - As the nation’s capitol, obtaining a flight to Washington is fairly easy. Nearly every domestic airline and most international airlines service Washington. As a result, obtaining an economical flight to Washington is not difficult. However since Washington is a “must see” for both domestic travellers as well as international travellers, it is advisable to book your flight to Washington as early as possible. Be sure to check the internet for special fares to Washington.

There are three major airports which service the Washington metropolitan area: Regan National Airport (“National”), Dulles International Airport (“Dulles”) and Baltimore Washington International Airport (“BWI”). National is located closest to Washington, in Arlington, Virginia. However with the exception of a few flights to Canada, this airport handles only domestic air travel.

Dulles is located about twenty-five miles outside of Washington and is served by most Domestic and International Airlines. BWI is located about forty-five miles outside of Washington, in Baltimore, Maryland and is served by both domestic and international airlines. Each airport is connected to Washington via public transportation, though some of the airports are more convenient to access than others.

Since September 11, security has been increased in all three Washington Airports, so leave yourself plenty of time prior to boarding your plane to deal with long security lines. In addition, on all Washington Flights landing at National, twenty-five minutes prior to the flight’s arrival no passenger is allowed to stand up on the plane. So needless to say plan all bathroom breaks and access to any overhead luggage accordingly.
