(Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport)
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA)
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport
(IATA: DCA), is the closest and most convenient airport to
D.C., located three miles to the south in Arlington, Virginia,
just across the Potomac River.

* Metro's Blue and Yellow Lines stop at the airport. The
trip to downtown takes approximately fifteen minutes and costs
approximately $2.
* Taxi service costs about $15 to downtown.
Washington Dulles International Airport (IATA: IAD),
is located 26 miles west of D.C. in Dulles, Virginia. It is
an architectural masterpiece, but unfortunately some functionality
was scrapped in pursuit of aesthetics—you will have to take
a train between the main building and the concourses. If you
have extra time, consider taking the VRTA Air and Space Museum
Shuttle to see the Smithsonian Museum's collection of spacecraft
and aircraft fifteen minutes away in Chantilly. The shuttle
departs every 45-60 minutes 10AM-5:30PM daily, costing 50¢.
(A taxi to the museum runs about $15).
To get to D.C. from the airport:
* Metrobus 5A, operates between the airport and L'Enfant
Plaza (Green, Yellow, Blue, and Orange Metro Lines), located
a few blocks south of the National Mall. The bus makes stops
in Herndon, Tysons Corner, and Rosslyn (Blue and Orange Metro
Lines). It generally departs from the airport every 40 minutes
on weekdays and hourly (though not on the hour) on weekends,
taking 40-50 minutes to the Rosslyn Metro Station and 50-60
minutes to the L'Enfant Plaza Metro Station. The fare is $6
one-way (no change given). The bus stops near Curb 2E outside
of the terminal.
* Washington Flyer Coach, operates coach service every half
hour (on :15 and :45) to and from the West Falls Church Metro

$18 round trip. From there, the Metro to downtown takes another
20–25 minutes.

and takes about 40-60 minutes.

D.C. is $29 for the first passenger in your party, $10 for
