Best time to be in Orlando: Feb–Apr · Oct–Nov. Fare history for this route is still thin, so we make no seasonal call yet.
The cheapest itinerary we are tracking flies Frontier Airlines nonstop and takes about 2.5 hours outbound, on a 2-night trip. At $150 for 1,228 km each way, that works out to about $61 per 1,000 km flown. That is above the $41 typical of short-haul fares here. Across the 3 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Orlando, this fare ranks 2nd — 10% above the $136 from New York. We have 3 months of cached prices for this route so far — not enough to call a fare cheap or expensive, so we publish the price without a percentage.

How far in advance should I book WAS → Orlando?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for the levers we can measure.
Are there nonstop flights from Washington to Orlando?
Yes — the current board includes nonstop fares (Frontier Airlines). The outbound leg runs around 2.5 hours.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on September 1). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
