Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

Here's how to get to DC for the big day:

PLANES
Three airports service the DC area. I am biased and only like to fly in to DCA because it's the closest but you'll find the other two have their benefits in terms of airlines that service them and ticket prices.
1) Reagan National Airport (DCA) - Closest to the hotel and church (3.5 miles). From here you can take a taxi ($15 - $20), complimentary hotel shuttle (every 30 minutes for Sheraton National Hotel guests), or super shuttle ($14 one way). If you aren't staying at the Sheraton National you can take the Metro (Blue/Yellow Lines) to/from other hotels.

2) Dulles International Airport (IAD) - 27 miles from hotel/church. Taxi ($55 - $60), Super Shuttle ($29 one way), Washington Flyer services the West Falls Church Metro - Orange Line ($10 one way).

3) Baltimore Washington International Airport (BWI) - 39 miles from hotel/church. Taxi ($100), Super Shuttle ($46 one way), Marc Train to Union Station in DC

TRAINS
DC's Union Station services all AMTRAK Trains is located on the Red Line Metro (in the direction of Shady Grove) from which you can transfer at Metro Center to the Blue Line in the direction of Franconia/Springfield exiting at Pentagon City for the complimentary shuttle to the Sheraton National (runs every 30 minutes).

AUTOMOMBILES
Road Trip!...Or not ;) Overnight parking is available for a fee. For those only parking for the wedding and not staying overnight it is complimentary. For driving directions click here.
