Take the Pledge

It is essential that our capital city maintains nonstop service to our nation’s capital. We need your support to increase bookings on the flights. Flying local supports economic and airport growth in our region while providing confirmation to the airlines that new BTR nonstop routes will be supported. You are helping our region by supporting your local airport, which provides an annual economic impact of over $1 billion.

WHY FLY
BTR TO DC?

Flying out of BTR is the ultimate in ease and convenience. No long drives, no parking lot shuttles, no long waits at security. If you value time and convenience, BTR is always the best choice.

BTR has the earliest flight to DC, even earlier than flying out of New Orleans. The flight is nonstop from Baton Rouge (BTR) to Reagan National Airport (DCA) each morning. The return flight from DC to BTR is in the evening. The morning flight changes to a 6:30 a.m. departure on November 5th (previously 5:46 a.m.). In early January, the departure goes to 7:09 a.m.

When you factor in the time and cost to drive to New Orleans, plus time-consuming and costly parking coupled with longer lines, flying out of BTR is more efficient and economical.

This flight was the most requested flight by Baton Rouge flyers. Not only will it help BTR keep this flight, but it will also improve BTR’s prospects for more service by showing the airlines that our community will support new service.

TAKE THE
PLEDGE

As a local employer and business or government leader, I understand the importance of ensuring the success of the American Airlines nonstop Washington Reagan (DCA) flights from the Baton Rouge Metro Airport. I pledge that our employees will fly the American BTR to DCA nonstop flights.

WHAT ELSE
CAN I DO TO HELP?

If you’re a business or organization with travel to DC, you can encourage your travelers to use the BTR nonstop flights or even make it part of your travel policy for employees. Businesses can also book flexible fares that allow name changes if you are not sure which employee is going. (The flights also offer first-class seating.) Group rates are available when 10 or more are booked on the flights together, which is a great option for school groups or other organizations.

WHERE
DO I BOOK?

Flights can be booked directly through AA’s website, www.aa.com, or by calling AA’s reservations center at 800-433-7300. Bookings can also be made on online travel sites or by contacting your local travel agency.
