any direct flights from DCA/BWI/IAD to the caribbean? looking for easy travel since it will only be a 4-5 day trip. i know we can fly direct to puerto rico but looking for other options.

The Washington Post travel section does a round-up of non-stop flights to the Caribbean every year. If you look on the sight and search carefully, you'll be able to find the best routes. United and otheres have some nonstops from Dulles, and there are a few from BWI. None from DCA.

Air Jamaica has directs from BWI daily. Great times too. USA3000 has directs to Dominican Republic, Bermuda and Cancun several days a week. I am told AA has a few directs to Antigua or Anguilla (can't remember which). They do have directs to Puerto Rico. I'd also love to know if there are any more.

I flew direct from DCA to Bermuda a few years ago. It was great!

Doug, thanks for the suggestion about the list of nonstop flights from the Washington Post travel section. It took a little digging to find it, but here is the link in case anyone else is interested.
