Great Trips From DC With Short Flights

[Anonymous]

Can we list some easy trips from DC? Non-stop? Or one-stop but still easy? I got the idea from another thread where someone commented that the Bahamas is one short flight away. I have a very had time with flying, and with travel in general.

What is short to you, OP?

Well, I'm interested in what others see as short. And it's all relative. For example, if you want to visit Europe -- a nonstop is available to Western Europe's Lisbon (7 hours), and nonstop to Eastern Europe's Greece is not (12 hr to Athens), at least not that I found with a quick search. But I was inspired by the poster in the other thread pointing out how easy it is to get to the Bahamas; my last trip to the Caribbean was to St Lucia, and it was 8 hours of flying (1 connection) and then a long drive across the island to the resort. That's not "short" compared to 3 hours from DC to Nassau.

Kinda depends on what you want, OP.

You could go to Miami.

You could also go to Burlington, VT.

There are TONS of short flights from our 3 airports.

We just went to San Juan with our preschooler which we chose bc of the short flight and 15 min Uber to our hotel in condado. It was great.

We like FL when it’s cold and VT or MA in the summer. I like short flights too. The nonstop to Denver isn’t too bad either.

If you’re into skiing, the French and Swiss Alps are very easy to get to from DC. Direct overnight flight to Geneva and then you can take direct train or shuttle bus service to 15+ world class resorts. You’ll be on the slopes by lunch time.

It’s so much better and cheaper than trying to ski in the U.S. Airfares in the winter are cheap.

You can fly direct to Martha's Vineyard in the summer.
