I've flown a bunch of times, and it's more expensive than to fly to Vegas or Florida. The planes are tiny and terrifying in the wind. I assume the cost is so high because the planes are only full on holidays.
Meant to add.. it's cheaper to fly to vegas or Florida as a destination from DC than Charleston. It's probably sort of expensive to fly out of Charleston to anywhere because it'll always be a small commuter plane.
Huntington is usually cheaper than Charleston strangely enough.
Indeed.
For the same April 29 - May 2 long weekend I used in the previous example, a 1-stop roundtrip from Huntington (via Detroit) to Dulles is $284 on Delta. (Actually, it's Delta Connection operated by Comair and Pinnacle. Maybe you get to sit next to the pilot )
As an alternative, you can drive the 3 hours to Morgantown and catch the 1/2 hour direct flight to Washington on the same commuter type aircraft.
