Each year, autumn covers the Washington, D.C. region’s rolling landscape, backyard
barbecues and FedEx Field with familiar shades of burgundy and gold as trees turn color
and another season of Redskins football kicks off.
This issue of #FlyWashington magazine, showcases the best of both — taking you behind
the scenes with the Redskins player Ryan Kerrigan and a Q & A with THINK-PINK!®
founder Tanya Snyder while featuring some of the region’s best fall events and escapes.
Around the region, learn about one of D.C.’s hot neighborhoods and how Shaw, once a
driving force behind African American music and culture, has evolved into an eclectic
blend of artisans, epicureans, and partygoers. And learn more about why the annual
Dulles Day Festival and Plane Pull benefiting the Special Olympics of Virginia is a worth-
while add to any family calendar.
Journey across the map with nonstop destination features exploring the best of Madrid
and Lisbon, then discover the unique charm that has made Greenville, South Carolina —
a former textile town — a destination for young professionals, startups, and weekend
travelers of all ages.
In this issue, we also highlight efforts to enhance your experience in our airports no
matter where your journeys lead. Our newly launched DC Airports mobile app brings the
best of our airports to your device — letting you explore concessions, track flight status
and public transit schedules, book travel and reserve discounted parking.
We hope you enjoy this issue of #FlyWashington magazine and your journey through our
airports. On behalf of all Airports Authority employees and partners, thank you for making
Reagan National and Dulles International your gateways to the National Capital Region.
