Check the prices to BWI (Baltimore-Washington
International) and IAD (Dulles). BWI often is the
cheapest of the 3 DC metro area airports. I'm pretty
certain BWI has a shuttle to downtown DC, I know
Dulles has cheap shuttle to DC or to nearby Metrorail
(subway). Washington Flyer shuttle to Metro:
www.washfly.com. SuperShuttle van transport:
www.supershuttle.com. "Raygun" National Airport is
right on a subway line.

As for hotels, how cheap is cheap? Arlington Virginia
is probably cheaper than downtown DC, and there's
subway.
