Methodology: learn how we calculate these charts
The charts “When is the cheapest time to fly?”, “How far in advance should I book?”, “What's the cheapest day of the week to fly?” and “What do round-trip flights from Salt Lake City to Washington cost?” are built from the prices Priceline customers actually paid for flights on this route over the past 12 months or more.
Where a route has too few bookings to fill every point in a chart, we borrow the shape of the curve from a group of routes with similar price behavior and fit it to the fares booked on this route.
Because past fares don’t reflect today’s market, we then adjust the historical prices for current conditions such as inflation and fuel costs, using the round-trip fares found in recent searches on this route.
The chart “When is the best time of day to fly?” is calculated directly from the fares found in recent searches, not from historical bookings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about flying from Salt Lake City to Washington.
What is the typical flight duration from Salt Lake City to Washington?
The flight from Salt Lake City to Washington is about 1,850 miles. Nonstop service typically takes about 4 hours and 8 minutes outbound, with the return flight running about 4 hours and 46 minutes — the westbound return is longer by roughly 38 minutes.
Methodology
Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.
Are there any direct flights from Salt Lake City to Washington?
Delta Air Lines and United Airlines are the two carriers currently scheduled non-stop from Salt Lake City to Washington, each flying daily. Delta runs one daily flight to Reagan National (DCA) and another to Dulles (IAD), while United flies one daily flight to Dulles, for a total of 21 non-stop departures each week across all three routes. All service operates seven days a week, so there are no gaps in the weekly schedule.
Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.
What are the ground transportation options in Washington?
At Washington Dulles International Airport, the most-used option is the WMATA Metrorail Silver Line, which runs directly from the terminal to downtown D.C. in about 47 minutes for $2–3. Taxis operate 24 hours a day and cost around $65, taking 30 to 60 minutes depending on traffic. Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are available around the clock, and rental cars plus private car services from SuperShuttle round out the choices. Metrobus Route 5A also connects to L'Enfant Plaza for $6, though it involves transfers and longer travel times. The Silver Line Metro is the fastest and most popular way into the city.

When is the cheapest time to fly from Salt Lake City to Washington?
Fares from Salt Lake City to Washington are lowest in late January, around $231. January is the cheapest month overall, averaging $240, followed by February ($244) and September ($266). December is the most expensive month at about $298, and fares peak in late December at about $313. The yearly average is $273. Fares are adjusted to current market conditions.
Methodology
Seasonal fares come from Priceline's own air booking-summary archive, analysed in-house and refreshed monthly. For each day of the year we take a representative round-trip fare, a blend of the 25th-percentile and average ticket price over the route's bookings, and smooth the series into a seasonal curve; the half-month low and high and the monthly figures quoted here are averages of that curve. Thin and international routes borrow their seasonal shape from the nearest busy routes, with the price level anchored to the route's own bookings.
How far in advance should I book tickets from Salt Lake City to Washington?
Book about 4 weeks before departure for the best fares from Salt Lake City to Washington, around $278. Booking in the final days before the flight costs about $325, $47 more. Booking six months ahead runs about $367. Fares are adjusted to current market conditions.
Methodology
Booking-window guidance comes from the same monthly in-house analysis of Priceline's own air booking-summary archive. We aggregate the route's bookings by how many days before departure they were made, from about 180 days out to the day of travel, smooth the curve, and highlight the stretch of lead times with the lowest average fare.

There are no nonstop red-eyes from Salt Lake City to Washington, but overnight one-stop itineraries do operate, with the long leg on American through Charlotte departing 11:30 PM and arriving 5:22 AM, on Frontier through Las Vegas departing 10:43 PM and arriving 6:20 AM, and on Alaska through Seattle departing 9:18–9:36 PM and arriving 5:20–5:40 AM. Each of these overnight legs lands in the early-morning hours before connecting onward to Washington.
Methodology
Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times and block times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes. A flight counts as a red-eye when it departs in the afternoon or evening (3 p.m. or later local time) or in the early hours before 4 a.m., and is in the air at some point between midnight and 4 a.m. local time at both its departure airport and its arrival airport. An evening flight that lands before midnight at its destination is never counted, nor is a morning departure or a daytime long-haul that reaches the next calendar date only because of time zones. Each red-eye is labelled with its timing (for example, overnight and landing the next morning, or late-night and landing after midnight). For connecting itineraries the same rule is applied to the longer leg, from one representative day's flight search.
Which airlines usually operate this route from Salt Lake City to Washington?

Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a typical fare is shown for a carrier, it is the median of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

Methodology
On-time arrival and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, which covers U.S. domestic routes only; a flight counts as on time when it arrives within 15 minutes of schedule. Carriers are ranked by arrival on-time rate on this route, and the carrier list itself comes from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI).

Methodology
Aircraft types come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.
