Ocean City Flights

When you’re in the mood for a seaside getaway, book flights to Ocean City, Maryland, and get ready to embrace ocean breezes and sunshine. Because there aren’t any international airports in the immediate area, you have the choice of flying into Dulles International Airport (IAD) or Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) in Washington, D.C., or Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI) in Baltimore, MD.

Both IAD and DCA Airports feature on-site dining and shopping. If you have time to spare, sit down for a meal at one of the restaurants, or grab something to go at one of the many cafes and sandwich shops scattered throughout the terminals. These airports also provide a number of shops, where you can pick up souvenirs, books, electronics, apparel, and more. Similarly, BWI Airport provides a selection of eateries and stores to keep you entertained during your travels. Stock up on some magazines for your next flight, or order a sandwich on the fly.

Airport Transportation

All three airports are between two and three-and-a-half hours away from the beach town, but you can conveniently book Ocean City car rentals ahead of time to have a set of wheels waiting for you to cruise to the sand and sea. Simply make your reservations with us in advance, and then head to the rental car kiosk at the airport to pick up your keys. With your own vehicle, you won’t have to worry about forking out a fortune for alternate transportation to the seaside.

Ocean City Activities

When you’re looking for flights to Ocean City, don’t forget to start working on your itinerary. Of course, you’ll want to spend the majority of your vacation relaxing under a beach umbrella and swimming in the Atlantic Ocean, but there’s more to this seaside city than just the shoreline. Watch the sun rise over the ocean in the morning, and then see it set on the bayside in the evening. Spend the day browsing the shops and playing at the arcades on the boardwalk, then check out the exhibits at the Life-Saving Station Museum. After a day of exploring the coast, take it easy at one of the top hotels in Ocean City.

Planning Your Trip

Trying to determine when to book your Ocean City tickets? Spring, summer, and fall are arguably the best times to visit because they provide the ultimate beach weather. Though summer is the high season for tourists, the warm temperatures and refreshing ocean make it all worthwhile. During the winter, temperatures can drop down into the 30s F, and some of the shops and restaurants shut down for the season—you may even find places closed during the late fall and early spring.
