DCA to DAY questions
Is DCA–DAY running on time right now?
Mostly on schedule. The departure side at DCA is the weaker end, route health score 78/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
Morning or evening flight on DCA–DAY?
Operators schedule morning departures around 10:46 from DCA. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the DAY delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.
How long is the flight from DCA to DAY?
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 DCA–DAY fly?
American Airlines runs the route with about 26 flights a week (daily). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.
