Destination guide

Washington, DC for private flyers: airports, seasons and events

Washington draws government, policy, diplomatic and business travel all year. Reagan National (DCA) is closest to the city, but private flights there must follow TSA's DCA Access Standard Security Program, so Washington Dulles (IAD) is the simpler option for most trips. The area sits under the Washington DC Special Flight Rules Area, a 30-nm ring around DCA with added airspace requirements.

Private jet airports near Washington, DC

  • IAD

    Washington Dulles International Airport

    Runway 11,500 ft · control tower · U.S. Customs by prior arrangement · 23 mi from Washington, straight line

    Suits: By runway length: every jet size, large-cabin included.

    Washington Dulles is the region's main international airport and avoids DCA's security program requirements. Flight training is prohibited from 2200 to 0700, and long-term aircraft parking may be limited during busy periods.Source: nfdc.faa.gov

  • DCA

    Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport

    Runway 7,169 ft · control tower · U.S. Customs by prior arrangement · 3 mi from Washington, straight line

    Suits: By runway length: every jet size, large-cabin included.

    Reagan National is closest to downtown but sits inside the Flight Restricted Zone. Private and charter flights must operate under TSA's DCA Access Standard Security Program: departure from a TSA-approved gateway airport FBO, an armed security officer on board, passenger and crew manifests 24 hours ahead, and an FAA slot reservation.Sources: nbaa.org, fly.faa.gov

In our order of preference for a private flight; routes on this page are priced from IAD. The airport changes the price, so ask about each. Each airport's page has its runways, customs and which jets fit. “Suits” is our rule of thumb from runway length and elevation: weight, temperature and the jet's own numbers decide it on the day.

When to go

Spring is busy, with the National Cherry Blossom Festival from late March into April and the IMF and World Bank Spring Meetings in April. The IMF and World Bank Annual Meetings return to Washington in October in most years.Sources: nationalcherryblossomfestival.org, worldbank.org

Good to know before you book

  • Flying private into DCA requires TSA's DASSP: a gateway airport departure, an armed security officer on board and manifests 24 hours ahead. IAD avoids these requirements.
  • Non-scheduled IFR arrivals and departures at DCA also need an FAA e-CVRS slot reservation, 0600-2359 local daily.

Cost against time

Every route from Washington, DC, by cost and flight time

The bill is roughly hours times the rate, so cost climbs with time, and steps up where a trip needs a bigger jet. Minimums make the shortest hops cost more than their flight time.

About $6,000 to $7,500 one way to New York on a light jet; $18,000 to $22,500 one way to Miami on a light jet; $59,000 to $64,000 one way to Los Angeles on a super-midsize jet. Across all 212 destinations we price from Washington, DC, one-way estimates run from about $4,000 (Richmond) to $112,000 (Anchorage). These are estimates from published jet card rates times the flight time, not quotes: minimums, peak days and airport fees change the final price.

How much is a 2-hour private jet flight from Washington, DC?

About $15,000 to $19,000 in a light jet, $19,000 to $21,000 in a midsize jet, $24,000 to $26,000 in a super-midsize jet, $29,000 to $33,000 in a large jet: two hours times the published hourly rates, before minimums. About two hours from Washington, DC: Palm Beach, Orlando and Tampa.

How much is a private jet from DC to Miami?

About $18,000 to $22,500 one way on a light jet, 2 hours 20 minutes nonstop for 916 miles. A round trip on different days is about twice that. An estimate from published rates, not a quote.

How much is a private jet from Washington, DC to Las Vegas?

About $53,000 to $58,000 one way on a super-midsize jet, 4 hours 30 minutes nonstop for 2,061 miles. A round trip on different days is about twice that. An estimate from published rates, not a quote.

Where do private jets fly from in Washington, DC?

We price Washington, DC from IAD (Washington Dulles International Airport), then DCA (Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport), in our order of preference for a private flight. The airport changes the price and the drive, so ask about each when you book.

How far can a private jet fly nonstop from Washington, DC?

By our conservative range assumptions, a light jet (about 1,700 nautical miles) reaches 166 of 212 destinations, the farthest being Calgary; a midsize jet (about 2,000 nautical miles) reaches 195 of 212 destinations, the farthest being Seattle; a super-midsize jet (about 3,000 nautical miles) reaches 207 of 212 destinations, the farthest being Anchorage; a large jet (about 4,000 nautical miles) reaches 207 of 212 destinations, the farthest being Anchorage. Beyond that, plan a fuel stop. Payload, winds and runway length decide it on the day.

What's the lowest-cost way to fly private from Washington, DC?

Fly the smallest jet that makes the trip nonstop (a light jet covers 166 of these routes), avoid peak days, and compare one-way pricing with a round trip. A jet card fixes the hourly rate ahead of time; compare cards within one jet size. For a super-midsize jet, CRAFT's is $12,950 an hour on the 25-hour card, fuel and FET included, on a Challenger 350. Empty legs and shared flights exist, but they run on someone else's schedule. No estimate here is a guaranteed price.

Can I fly private from Washington, DC to Mexico or the Caribbean?

Yes. 64 of the routes on this page cross a border, including Los Cabos (4h 45m, nonstop in a midsize jet), Nassau (2h 25m, nonstop in a light jet) and Tortola (3h 40m, nonstop in a light jet). An international flight clears customs at an airport of entry and everyone needs a passport. CRAFT's card rate covers the lower 48; Caribbean, Mexico and Canada trips add repositioning at $4,000 an hour plus handling.

Can a private jet fly into Reagan National (DCA)?

Yes, but only under TSA's DCA Access Standard Security Program. The flight must depart from an approved gateway airport FBO with an armed security officer on board, submit manifests 24 hours ahead, and hold an FAA slot reservation.

Which Washington airport is easier for a private jet?

Washington Dulles (IAD), because it does not carry DCA's security program requirements. Both airports sit inside the Washington DC Special Flight Rules Area, a 30-nm ring around DCA.
