| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport | DCA | 7 km (4 mi) | 7,169 ft | 15 ft |
| Washington Dulles International Airport | IAD | 31 km (19 mi) | 11,500 ft | 312 ft |
| Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport | BWI | 50 km (31 mi) | 10,503 ft | 146 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 7,169 ft, DCA handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 15 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
