Traveling to our Wedding

Tips for air travel into DC

We have three airport options:

DCA: The closest to town, this one is a breeze if you’re flying Delta or American. You can grab an Uber or the metro, and be in the district in 20 minutes or less after getting your bags.

IAD: Offers a new United direct flight from Mobile, Alabama! Along with lots of other direct flights from Denver, Chicago, and more. Just plan ahead for travel from the airport; it’ll take about an hour to get into DC with either an Uber or the Metro.

BWI: Tons of great Southwest options! Plan ahead for travel from the airport here, too. You can take the train or an Uber, but it’ll take about an hour to get to DC.

Coming  from New Jersey? We recommend:

Taking the train: Amtrak is the fastest way to get to DC (and often the easiest). Amtrak has many trains going to D.C. daily, and if you book early it can be really affordable. At the time of this writing, you can get round trip (Philly to D.C.) tickets for as cheap as $50. All trains have bathrooms and a cafe car on them. All trains arrive at Union Station, which is about a 20-45 minute Uber (depending on traffic) to the wedding venue. You can bring luggage and even a pet on all Amtrak trains.

Other options:

Hopping in the car: Driving is pretty easy and just a straight shot down I-95 until the beltway. Depending on traffic expect 2.5 - 4 hours for the trip. Parking varies widely on where your accommodations are. If you are driving down the day of, please leave early, as traffic is unpredictable all along on the way here as well as within D.C. itself.

Grabbing a bus: Various bus services can get you to Union Station in Washington, D.C. Buses are the cheapest option but will take the longest. Book an early bus, as traffic is unpredictable and could slow down expected arrive time.
