Flying in from Savannah. I know D.C. is closer than the Baltimore airport to Woodbridge but I've never flown into D.C. I was just wondering if I should fly into one of the D.C. airports or Baltimore. I have to rent a car too so I didn't know which airport would be better all things considered.

Thoughts?

I don't see why any one would fly into BWI to go to Woodbridge. Do you want to sit in DC traffic even more you sick son of a bitch?

Well that was part of my question. I'm not real familiar with that part of the country. So which airport would you recommend?

Well just looking at a map, DCA or IAD is your best bet. If you are looking for a nonstop flight I'd just book United into IAD and drive down. Saving a few hours of not having a connecting flight would be worth it to me

ETA: 41 minutes from Dulles to Woodbridge without traffic
30 minutes from Reagan Airport to Woodbridge without traffic

I am very familiar with Woodbridge, VA and don't go to BWI unless sitting in gridlock rush hour traffic for Baltimore AND dc/va is your idea of a good time. I'd recommend DCA over IAD because IAD is a huge pain in the arse in general. I've never rented a car from there so I truthfully don't know if the rental facilities are off site. DCA is smaller, much easier to get in and out of, and you're less than 5 min from hopping on 395/95 south to get to Woodbridge.



PS if you need a decent meal in Woodbridge, hit up El Charro. Full plate of Mexican food for about $7.

Sounds like DCA it is. Thanks for the help guys.

Why the hating on Woodbridge? Just headed there for a wedding.

My rule of thumb for the 3 is unless it saves me +$200 I'm flying in/out of DCA.

IAD is 40 minutes from the city with no traffic. However, it's much better now that I-66 has a dedicated expressway to IAD. No getting on or off it until you get to IAD.

Yep still call it hoodbridge. That would be the hwy 1 corridor from Occoquan to Dumfries. Where is the wedding?

Fly into DCA, BWI is another hour further without traffic.

Grew up not far from there, it's become significantly more Central American since I left.

Ha. I went to Hylton High School in Woodbridge. This was 20 years ago before the area turned into El Salvador.

Loved the planetarium at Hylton. The 234 area is still nice, as is Lake Ridge. It's just hwy 1 and Dale Shitty that still suck.
