Which Airport Should You Use?

• Reagan National (DCA): Best for domestic routes and quick Caribbean hops. American Airlines dominates here with direct flights to Miami, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Nassau. The Metro Silver/Blue/Yellow line drops you directly at the terminal - no Uber needed.

• Dulles International (IAD): The clear winner for Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. United Airlines and Star Alliance partners run nonstop transatlantic and transpacific routes that simply do not exist at DCA or BWI. This week's Madrid $465 deal, Seoul $994, Abu Dhabi $878, and Dublin Business Class deals are all IAD-exclusive.

• Baltimore-Washington (BWI): The budget-carrier hub. Frontier's $133 San Juan fare is only at BWI. Southwest runs many routes from BWI that never appear at DCA. Also a solid British Airways departure point for London Heathrow. Factor in the extra drive time (45-60 min from DC) but the savings can easily justify it.

• Hidden gem: Reykjavik is bookable from both IAD (Icelandair, $485) and BWI ($521) this week - check both before committing, as prices can diverge significantly by departure airport.

Transit Tips

• Reagan (DCA): Metro accessible via Blue/Yellow/Silver lines. Terminal B/C has TSA PreCheck and Clear lanes. Allow 30 minutes from downtown DC by Metro.

• Dulles (IAD): No Metro direct connection yet - take the Silver Line to Wiehle-Reston East and catch the IAD shuttle, or budget $35-50 for rideshare. Allow 60-75 minutes from central DC. United Club is in Concourse C and is one of the best lounges in the network for long-haul departures.

• BWI: MARC Penn Line train runs from Union Station to BWI Marshall for around $9 - far cheaper than rideshare. Ride shares average $45-65 from downtown DC. Budget extra time - plan 75-90 minutes from central DC.
