Strategies for finding cheap flights from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) in November include booking in advance, targeting mid-November weekday travel, and using fare alerts and flexible-date searches. Historically the cheapest outbound days are Tuesdays and Wednesdays outside the Thanksgiving holiday week, while Thanksgiving week and the Sunday after the holiday are most expensive. Consider one-way versus round-trip pricing, check connecting flights via hubs like Dallas (DFW), Charlotte (CLT), or Chicago (ORD) for savings, and compare fares across American Airlines, Delta, United, and low-fare aggregators. Use flexible airports (e.g., consider flying into Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) then transit to DCA) to save on seat costs when DCA nonstops are limited.
