Common Nonstop Destinations from Chicago and Washington: 178 Shared Routes

This page compares the full metro areas of Chicago (ORD, MDW) and Washington (DCA, IAD, BWI) and lists every destination both cities can reach on a nonstop flight: 178 in all, across 43 countries and 9 regions. For each one you can see the flight time and distance from CHI and from WAS, so the trade-off between the two legs is clear at a glance.

Use the map to see how far the options spread, then check the meet-in-the-middle pick (Cleveland has the smallest gap in flight distance here) before opening the full table to sort all 178 shared routes. To filter by month and check live fares, open the Midway app with Chicago and Washington already loaded.

Each row is a destination both cities reach nonstop. The two right-hand columns give the flight time and distance from CHI and from WAS. When those two legs are close, the trip splits evenly between Chicago and Washington. Open the full table in Midway to sort by either leg or filter by month.
