Getting There There are three major airports serving the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area: Reagan National (DCA), Washington-Dulles International (IAD) and Baltimore-Washington International (BWI). United Airlines offers a direct flight from OKC to IAD and Southwest flies directly to DCA and BWI. All three options are accessible to the downtown area via D.C.’s Metro system. DCA is located close to downtown and is a quick Metro train ride away, from BWI you can ride the train and IAD is in the Northern Virginia suburbs and will require connections on a Metro bus and Metrorail. Metro maps and ticket information are available at wmata.com . A 3-day unlimited pass is $28. Where to Stay For a kid-friendly, high-end experience, try the Willard Intercontinental .
