Flights to Washington (DCA)

Last updated: Sep 10, 2026

Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is just across the Potomac from downtown Washington, with a Metro station at the terminal. It is often faster to reach than a cross-town taxi.

Right now there are 130 airports in 4 countries connected to Washington, 120 of them domestic, with 49 airlines flying scheduled passenger traffic.

Washington's longest nonstop connection is San Francisco (SFO), 2,436 miles, offered by Air New Zealand, Alaska Airlines and 5 other airlines.

Its most distinctive feature is the airspace: to keep aircraft clear of restricted zones over the capital, pilots fly the River Visual approach, banking along the curves of the Potomac with the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial out the left window. A perimeter rule caps most nonstop flights at 1,250 miles.
