About Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (airport code DCA) is a primary airport for the Washington, D.C. metropolitan region, located in Arlington, Virginia. Operated by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA), it offers domestic passenger air service, airport parking, ground transportation, retail shops, restaurants, and other traveler services. The airport serves millions of passengers annually and is a hub for several major U.S. airlines.
A charge labeled “REAGAN NATIONAL AIRPORT” on a card statement is typically associated with services at the airport such as parking fees, tolls or access charges, purchases at airport-operated concessions, or other airport facility fees processed under the airport’s or MWAA’s merchant account. Airline tickets themselves usually appear under the airline’s name, but incidental services like on-site parking or certain ground transportation or facility charges may instead show as the airport. One-time charges are common, but recurring charges could occur if a parking account, transponder, or stored payment profile is used.
To verify a charge from Reagan National Airport, cardholders should first match the date and amount to any recent travel through DCA, especially parking, drop-off/pick-up, or in-terminal purchases. Parking or access receipts can often be retrieved via the airport’s parking system or by contacting MWAA customer service with the date, time, and license plate or ticket number. If the transaction still looks unfamiliar, travelers should contact the airport or MWAA billing/support and, if needed, dispute the transaction with their card issuer while the details are investigated.
