How guide prices are calculated
Guide prices: These indicative charter prices are generated by the LunaJets pricing model using historical charter quotations. Prices may be based on an aircraft family represented by the model shown. These estimates use a reference travel date and may differ for your chosen dates. A final quotation is required for your itinerary, travel date and aircraft availability.

Aircraft selection and estimated flight times
Aircraft selection: The five aircraft models displayed for each route are the most frequently used on that route in the flight records. Flights across the cities’ main airports are combined when selecting them.
Estimated flight times: Flight times are calculated estimates based on route distance, aircraft performance and recorded durations for the same aircraft model or comparable flights. Times are rounded to the nearest 5 minutes and may vary with routing and operating conditions. Flight-time calibration uses records from 2020 through October 2026.
Flight activity: sources and methodology
Activity methodology: LunaJets filters and enriches the recorded flights by matching them to airports, cities and aircraft categories, then aggregating them. Figures cover 1 January to 31 December 2025. The figures include private and business jets, VIP aircraft and turboprops. Helicopters and scheduled airline flights are excluded. The data was generated on 14 October 2026. This generation date is separate from the activity year.
Definitions: A private aviation movement is one recorded departure or arrival at an airport serving a city. A flight between Washington DC and another city counts once in Washington DC’s route total, whether arriving or departing. A return flight counts as a separate movement. A connected city is a distinct city with at least one qualifying private aviation flight to or from Washington DC during 2025. The connected-city count covers the routes included in this dataset, not just those displayed in the table.
Busiest periods: Busiest periods identify a significant seasonal concentration in recorded movements in both directions during 2025. Isolated spikes are filtered out. Year-round means no qualifying seasonal concentration was identified, although activity can vary between months. A classification requires at least 30 annual movements, 99% statistical significance and an average monthly activity rate at least 1.75 times the rest of the year. Single-month periods also require recurrence checks using January to August 2026 records.

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.
