• DCA Airport Overview
  Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport DCA is the closest airport to the nation’s capital located in Arlington, Va. across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. In 1997, the previously overcrowded and dated airport was transformed by the opening of a new terminal – called Terminal B/C—that features a “National Hall” of better than usual shops and eateries under soaring windows and 54 “Jeffersonian” domes that mirror the capital’s trademark architecture. Reagan airport’s terminal also offers direct access to the Metro, D.C.’s efficient subway system, making it easy to access downtown D.C. and beyond. Primarily serving as a short-haul airport, Reagan National DCA airport offers nonstop service to destinations no farther than a 1,250 mile perimeter from Washington, D.C. with the exception of daily flights to Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Salt Lake City and Seattle.

  Tips for Traveling with Pets:
  
  · First, contact your airline to find out the rules and regulations they have on pet travel.
  · Do not tranquilize your pet, as the effects of tranquilizers on animals at higher altitudes can be unpredictable.
  · The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has set up rules and regulations for the transportation of live animals, and your pet is required to be at least eight weeks old and fully weaned before traveling by air.
  · Whenever possible, book a direct, nonstop flight and avoid holiday or weekend travel. Try to plan schedules that minimize temperature extremes.
  · The kennel that you use must be sturdy, properly ventilated, and large enough for your pet to freely be able to stand, turn around and lie down.
  · Get your pet comfortable with the kennel prior to flying; this reduces stress on your pet.
  · Give your pet food and water within four hours before your flight. You will have to sign a certification of the time when you last offered food and water to your pet.
  · Give yourself plenty of time for check-in so there is no rushing and everything is done properly
