Flights from Washington DC - Find Top Deals & Direct Routes

Travelers departing from the DC area typically choose between Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) and Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD). DCA is favored for its extreme proximity to downtown, located just across the Potomac River, making it the ideal choice for short-haul domestic flights and quick commutes via the Metro's Blue and Yellow lines. Conversely, IAD serves as the region’s primary international powerhouse, located in Northern Virginia; it offers an expansive range of long-haul transoceanic flights and serves as a major hub for United Airlines. Both facilities have undergone significant recent renovations, including the new Silver Line Metro extension to Dulles and the Project Journey improvements at Reagan, which included a new terminal building and centralized security checkpoints, significantly enhancing the overall passenger experience for everyone flying out of the District.
