How to book the cheapest flight to Washington?
Scoring cheap flights to Washington is as simple as booking your ticket with Orbitz. But if you’re eager to make sure you’re nabbing the best flight deals around, here are a few tips to keep in mind:

  • Consider alternative airports to save cash. Enter your preferred departure and arrival points in the form fields, then select the ‘Nearby airports’ function below. It will list any available options.
  • If your travel plans aren’t etched in stone, click on the ‘Show flexible dates’ link to view the flight deals for alternative departure dates. If you find a better fare, book it.
  • Select ‘Show options’ to fine tune your search results. You can pick your preferred airline and seating class here. Under ‘Sort & Filter’ to the left, you can even select whether you’d like to fly in the morning, afternoon or evening.
  • The early bird gets the best savings, so book as soon as you know your travel dates. The cheapest airfares are quick to sell out and prices normally rise as the departure date gets closer.
  • Make greater savings on your vacation by bundling your hotel, flights and car rentals into one handy package. Your travel budget will thank you for it.
  • Flying during busier seasons often means higher airfares. If possible, plan your trip outside of popular dates, such as Easter, Thanksgiving and school breaks.

What is the best time to book a flight to Washington?
Land a bargain and book your seats to Washington in January. If you’ve missed this month, you’re still in luck. February and August often have low airfares as well. Just be careful you don’t snooze on a sale — cheap flights pop up and vanish in a flash!
What day of the week is the cheapest to book a flight to Washington?
If you’re after inexpensive fares to Washington, the best days of the week to book are Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. With Orbitz (and some good timing!), a superb flight deal will be all yours.
What is the cheapest day of the week to fly to Washington?
Consider leaving early in the week for cheap flights to Washington. Orbitz data from 2020 shows Monday is normally the most inexpensive day to start your trip, followed by Tuesday. Saturdays were shown to have the highest airfares. This is probably because many travelers prefer to start their trip when the working week is over.
What is the cheapest month to fly to Washington?
If you have some wiggle room with your travel dates, think about leaving in August. Orbitz data has found that this is generally the best month to fly out if you’re looking for cheap flights to Washington. As you might expect, airfares increase in June and flights sell out fast.
Which airlines allow free cancellation?
We know that plans can change and flexibility is important. That’s why you can search for flights that include free cancellation and no change fees on Orbitz. Simply click on “Filter by flexible change policies” and we’ll show you fares more flexible than candy in a hot car!
What do I need for the flight to Washington?
Flying doesn’t have to be a drag. In fact it can be fun with a bit of pre-planning! Make your journey a hassle-free one with these handy tips:

  • Your travel documents are the most important items you’ll need to carry with you on your flight to Washington. To avoid any issues during check-in, make sure that the information on your ticket matches your government-issued photo ID.
  • To keep you entertained on your short trip to Washington, download your favorite tracks or stock up the podcast library on your phone. Food can also be a delicious distraction while in the air, so pack some snacks.
  • Even if you’re traveling when it’s 90 degrees outside, carry a sweater or hoodie on board with you. Cabins are notorious for getting quite chilly!

  • A lot of budget carriers these days have outstanding business or premium-class seating that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.
  • Bid for an upgrade in online auctions or upgrade your ticket with loyalty points.
