Airports
Washington Dulles is the most practical airport for private jets, with private terminals and good road links to Tysons and downtown. Manassas and Leesburg are quieter alternatives. Reagan National (DCA) is closest to downtown, but private flights there require special TSA security approval, so it suits only some trips.
