DC area. Driving or flying to Ottawa is easy and quick. - Sep 2023

It takes about 6 hours with connections to reach Denver or other regional airports (and it is not cheap). - Jul 2013


DC is a 90-minute flight away. Ottawa has non-stop flights to New York, Chicago, Charlotte, DC, Boston, Detroit, Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando, and Philadelphia. So, you'll need to connect through one of those cities or Montreal or Toronto. - Jan 2013


It is about a 12+ hour drive from DC. You can have a night paid for if you drive up. - Dec 2010


Washington, DC area. Most people drive to Ottawa so that they have their cars right away. There are direct, city-pair flights from IAD to Ottawa, however, and it takes about an hour's flying time. - Aug 2010


With direct flights to London Heathrow and Frankfurt, it's pretty decent now. But generally, you're stuck with transiting through Montreal & Toronto which can be painful. - Nov 2009
