Ronald Reagan National Airport
Another major airport which may be of service to those traveling to Virginia is Ronald Reagan National Airport, which is located in Arlington. It services the Washington DC, Baltimore and northern Virginia areas, but focuses mainly on North American flights due to its restriction of not allowing any aircrafts that fly over 1,250 miles in any direction.
US Airways is the largest carrier, followed by Delta Air Lines and American Airlines. The largest number of connections come from Atlanta, Chicago and Boston. The airport is connected to many major cities on the east coast as well as to a few destinations on the Pacific. Shops, restaurants and banking services are available.
