Flight
The Washington, D.C. area has two major airports. Dulles is slightly closer to Fairfax than Reagan National and offers a greater variety of flight options. Dulles has ride-share options, taxis, rental cars, and metro access. We do not recommend flying into Baltimore/Washington International Airport (BWI) as it is about an hour's drive away from Fairfax.
Flight
While Reagan National is slightly farther than Dulles, it is still an easy drive to Fairfax and a great option for those looking to explore the nation's capital prior to the wedding. Reagan National offers plenty of ride-share options, taxis, rental cars, and metro access. We do not recommend flying into Baltimore/Washington International Airport (BWI) as it is about an hour's drive away from Fairfax.
Train
The Amtrak is a great option for East Coast travel. The Burke Centre Amtrak station is a part of the Northeast Regional line and is a short car ride to Fairfax. Union Station in the city is also a great place to stop and is accessible to Fairfax via the metro.
Train
The Washington Metro is a great option for getting to and from the city without a car (or having to sit in DC traffic). The Vienna Fairfax - GMU stop is the last stop on the Orange line which goes directly into the heart of DC.
Travel Note
We highly recommend using rideshare services when getting around the area, especially if alcohol is involved. Ubers and Lyfts are plentiful and easy to use nearby. If you plan to visit wine country in Loudoun County, we suggest pre-scheduling your return ride, as rides can be harder to secure farther outside the city.
