The Denver–Washington route
Denver International (DEN) to Washington Dulles International (IAD) covers about 1,448 miles. Nonstop DEN–IAD is often on the schedule, about 3.5 hours airborne over 1,448 miles. This page is a US-market guide in USD — not a ticket and not a live calendar.
For DEN–IAD we show about $99 on the low end and around $165 as a more typical one-way economy total, USD, last reviewed August 2026. A $99 one-way is a sale-shaped guide, not a fare you can screenshot and demand. Taxes, bags, and seats change what you pay on the seller site.
Search DEN to IAD on Azurovia, compare airline-direct and travel-site totals on the same flights, then finish with the seller. We do not ticket. Keep their confirmation for changes.
Distance and time DEN–IAD
Great-circle distance DEN–IAD is about 1,448 miles. Block time on a nonstop is typically near 3.5 hours; wind, routing, and which runway you use still move the clock. Connections on the same city pair add layover time on top of that flying.
Washington is about 2 hours ahead of Denver on standard time (America/Denver vs America/New_York). Arrival clocks on IAD are local. That matters more on this pair than on a same-zone hop.
When DEN–IAD has a nonstop, that is usually the cleanest product. One-stop options still appear — they are worth opening only if the USD total is materially lower after you count the extra ground time.
Airports for Denver to Washington
Both ends are in the United States: Denver International (DEN) to Washington Dulles International (IAD). This is not an international itinerary, so the usual domestic bag and ID rules apply at the seller. Alternate metro airports can still beat this pair on price.
DEN is the only origin code we list in this metro. On arrival, DCA (Washington), BWI (Baltimore) can price differently from IAD. A cheaper nearby airport only wins if the transfer still fits your plan. Search with “include nearby airports” when you want those codes in one results list.
