Riding DC's METRO to & from Regan-Washington National airport

Are you traveling by air into Ronald Regan Washington National airport and need to get into the heart of Washington DC’s tourist and government complex?

Ride the METRO line! It’s an easy and inexpensive journey ($1.65 each way during prime time) from the terminal to downtown DC and vice versa. Take either the Blue or Yellow lines into the city center where you can transfer onto the other routes. This photo was taken from the METRO platform so it should give you an idea of it's convenience & accessibility to DCA.

One draw to the METRO is that there is no real space to stow your luggage so travel light. Fortunately my airline partners are starting to show you all how to pack for a weekend getaway or you’ll end up paying them (the airlines) a tidy amount for that extra bag with all the spare outfits.

By combining METRO rail with the local bus service you can really extend your travel network. A few brave explorers in my group actually managed to ride this METRO combination all the way to “Mount Vernon” George Washington’s estate. So here’s another story about a wonderful day trip.
