More Airlines Adding Inauguration Flights

November 19, 2008 at 11:51 AM | by | Comment (1)

Last week, JetBlue announced it would add flights into Washington Dulles to cater to inauguration tourists headed to Barry's party on January 20. Now Virgin America and AirTran are doing the same.

Virgin will add three round trips from both SFO and LAX to Dulles between January 16 and 23, which will expand capacity for the week by 23 percent. AirTran is adding flights between Atlanta and both BWI and IAD and adding additional service between Milwaukee and BWI.

Whichever carrier you end up choosing, it'd probably be wise to book soon. Flying from JFK to IAD on January 19 and back January 21 will run you $389 all-in on JetBlue. Flying non-stop round-trip from OAK to IAD on those dates is $919 including taxes.

On AirTran, flying non-stop from ATL on January 19 and back from BWI on January 21 will cost you at least $559. Virgin's round-trip flights between LAX and IAD those same days start at $719. Despite the prices--and extra capacity--seats are still selling out.

$1,100 on Northwest Airlines

According to this article, "fares from Memphis soar more than $1,100" on Northwest Airlines. But someone was able to score a ONE WAY for $538 from Memphis to DC on Cheaptickets.

Really? People are that crazy about attending the inauguration? It's cold in DC in January. You do know that right?
