Text Box: Airports
Three airports serve the Washington, D.C., area. 
The closest to the hotel and downtown is Ronald Reagan National Airport DCA), located about three miles from the Holiday Inn. If you don’t have a lot of baggage, DCA is accessible by Washington’s Metro.
Dulles International Airport (IAD) is in Virginia about 25 miles from the hotel.
Thurgood Marshall Baltimore Washington International (BWI) is 40 miles from the hotel.
While National is by far the most convenient airport, if you’re flying cross-country, Dulles and BWI may have lower fares.  Check it out, but remember that saving $20 on a ticket and spending $50 for a taxi isn’t a great deal.
This ain’t Kansas, Toto: Unfortunately, the hotel does NOT offer airport shuttle service.
Extending your stay
If you wish to extend your Holiday Inn reservations past the May 18-22 period, a limited number of rooms may be available at the reunion rate. Call, e-mail or write Jared Cameron with your extension requests and he will do his best to make your wishes come true...but no guarantees.
Location
The hotel is located in Arlington, VA, which was part of the District of Columbia until the Civil War, and is closer to D.C. attractions than many locations actually in the city.  It’s a stone’s throw from Washington’s excellent Metro, which stops at all major tourist and shopping locations and a brisk walk to the Georgetown shopping and entertainment district.
