    Why dont you fly direct from Dublin to Washington with Aer Lingus? Nonstop.
    Aer Lingus will land you in Dulles.
    Regards.

    well option one involves a stop in philadelphia and option 2 involves snn to dublin first-im tilted towards option 2 cos of aircraft comfort, but am wondering which airport is more accessible to dc

    Ronald Regan (National Airport) is the closest. Only 4 miles from downtown. Airport code DCA.

    Dulles is 26 miles out, code IAD

    Baltimore is furthest out, not sure how far, but I've been told (by Irish embassy staff) that it should be avoided. Code BWI

    The approach to Regan is far more scenic (over the city!). I've flown into Dulles and found it ok, huge airport with good transport links to downtown.
