Flying to Washington Dulles Airport?
Washington Dulles International (IAD) is the major airport closest to Winchester. In making flight arrangements, please remember that traffic can be very heavy at any time of day for a variety of reasons. The distance between IAD and Winchester is roughly fifty-five miles, but travel time can often be close to three hours. Therefore, if you plan to fly out of IAD in the early morning (for example, 7 AM), you may have to leave the hotel as early as 2:30 AM to clear security in time for your flight.
