Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bring my pet on a private flight to Washington DC?

Yes, you can bring pets on a private jet to Washington DC. Dogs must be at least 6 months old, microchipped, rabies-vaccinated, and accompanied by a CDC Dog Import Form. Cats are not subject to CDC rabies paperwork, but DC law requires rabies vaccination for both dogs and cats over 4 months. If your dog has recently been in a high-risk rabies country, arrival must be through an airport with a CDC-registered animal care facility. LunaJets will verify the requirements and manage the paperwork for your journey.

Which DC-area airport is the most convenient for private jet travellers?

It depends on where in the metro area you need to be. Ronald Reagan Washington National (DCA) is the closest to downtown DC and the White House, but it has stricter security and limited slot availability. Washington Dulles (IAD) is larger and better for international or heavy business travel. Baltimore-Washington (BWI) offers more flexibility and sometimes lower handling costs if distance isn’t a concern. LunaJets will recommend the airport that offers the best balance of access, slots, and ground transit time for your trip.

What visa or entry requirements apply when flying private into Washington DC?

All travellers flying privately to Washington DC must comply with U.S. entry rules. Citizens of Visa Waiver Program countries can visit for up to 90 days with an ESTA authorisation. Those not eligible for ESTA must obtain a B-1/B-2 visa in advance. Passports should remain valid throughout the stay and have blank pages available for entry. LunaJets will confirm the requirements for your nationality before departure.

How far in advance should I book a private jet to Washington DC?

It’s best to book several weeks ahead, especially during political events, state visits, or major conferences, which can heavily restrict airspace around Washington DC. Demand also rises during holidays such as Independence Day. LunaJets often arranges flights to Washington DC at short notice, even when the airport is busy.

Are there curfews or restricted operating hours at DC-area airports?

Yes, especially at Ronald Reagan Washington National (DCA). Night flights are restricted and there are strict slot controls during the day due to noise and security. Dulles (IAD) and Baltimore (BWI) both operate 24/7, offering more flexibility. Your LunaJets advisor will guide you to the airport that best fits your schedule.
