Private Jet Charter
Tampa to Washington, DC

Wheels up after breakfast, on the Hill before lunch, home for dinner. Tampa to Washington is the definitive business day-trip — under two hours in a light jet, with airport options that put you twenty minutes from Georgetown, the Capitol, or the Tysons corridor, on your schedule rather than the shuttle's.

The destination

Flying private to Washington, DC

Washington rewards showing up in person, and punishes commercial connections. Flying private turns a two-day commitment into a working day: brief on the way up, three meetings downtown, debrief on the way home. Dulles and Manassas handle most missions; for the closest-in arrival, Reagan National is possible on DASSP-approved operations, which we can arrange with notice.

The guide

Where to stay, dine & explore

Where to stay

The Hay-Adams keeps the White House out your window, and Four Seasons Georgetown remains the power-breakfast default. Rosewood Washington DC on the C&O Canal is the quiet luxury pick, while The Jefferson does small-hotel polish steps from downtown. Near Dulles and Tysons, The Ritz-Carlton, Tysons Corner handles the corridor-meeting overnight.

Where to dine

Le Diplomate is still the city's clubhouse; book The Dabney for mid-Atlantic cooking that earned its star, and minibar by José Andrés when you want the show. Fiola Mare covers the Georgetown waterfront client dinner, Rasika the best Indian in America, and Old Ebbitt Grill the classic pre-dawn-flight oyster stop.

What to do

Walk the monuments at dawn before the crowds, take a private after-hours tour of the Smithsonian collections, and catch whatever's at the Kennedy Center. Georgetown's shops and the National Gallery fill a spare afternoon; in spring, time the trip to the cherry blossoms and thank us later.
