DAY to DCA questions

Is DAY–DCA running on time right now?

Smooth skies ahead. The arrival side at DCA is the weaker end, route health score 82/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.

Morning or evening flight on DAY–DCA?

Operators schedule morning departures around 06:00 from DAY. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the DCA delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.

How long is the flight from DAY to DCA?

Great-circle distance is 628 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 74–84 min gate-to-gate on this route.

How often does DAY–DCA fly?

American Airlines runs the route with about 24 flights a week (daily). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.
