What's the most convenient airport to fly into for public transportation
And if I fly into baltimore, is there any easy way to get to DC without renting a car or hiring a taxi? How long would it take?

1. Fly into Regan National if you can...it is on the metro, too
Wish I still lived up there so I could take part in this.

2. BWI
BWI is connected to Balto via light rail; take Amtrack from Balto to DC. Would take several hrs. Google Maryland Transit Administration.

4. Metro is also connected to BWI o from their website
They have a shuttle that takes you over to Greenbelt station

Or if you prefer to use Maryland's MARC

3. Fly to DCA (National) Taxi to Pentagon, Metro to DC
and you're there.
Be sure to get maps of DC and the metro so you will know where you are.

5. As long as you're not taking Dulles you should be fine!!
The other 2 are near the Washington Metro with usually a connecting shuttle to get to the station (or just cab it)
