No, the closest is one stop with Air France via Paris. Air France flies to several West African cities, such as Dakar, Senegal. Delta Airlines flies via Atlanta to Dakar. Why do you want to go specifically to West Africa, and which country in particular? Getting around within that region can be tricky logistically and budget-wise, so I'd definately suggest specifically flying to the place you want to go to. For most options, I'd suggest enquiring with Air France. If you look anything like your Avitar, I would not go alone to places like Nigeria.

If you're just wanting to generally go to West Africa, there's a direct flight from New York-JFK to Accra. It's a nice country, safe, and there are flights from Accra to every country in the region as far as I know.

Are you connecting through Dulles or Reagan Airport? It makes a world of difference =] Also, what airline? I could map out the terminals and give you a more accurate estimate.

In my experience Washington weather in winter is unexpectable because it differs year by year. In some year, too much snow caused a big delay, but not always it happens. At least, if the weather condition is terribly bad, the airport might be closed. In this case, the plane might delay more than 5 hours. Actually, in my last trip to IAD in July, I was supposed to arrive before 7pm but actually arrived after 11pm because a storm closed the airport for a few hours. If this happens, you will be re-routed to the next available connecting flight. But the airline company will not give you a free hotel stay if the delay is caused by the weather condition.

Farmers almanac indicates a moderate winter in Washington. There is always a chance of delay in Washington DC. Unless its a blizzard, they are not usually horrible, the only drawback is its a later flight, which reduces your options in case of a problem. When flying with connections in winter I ALWAYS purchase travel insurance, I would suggest it for your trip as well.

Flying is roughly 2 1/2 hours.

You are looking at a 14 hour drive, plus stops for fuel and restrooms along the way. It is roughly 700 miles and I am thinking that the average speed is 50 mph. Some might think hey can go faster than 50 mph, but there are always bottlenecks, construction and other unforeseen slowdowns on the highways. You could make it in on full day, but you'll be quite tired when you arrive.

If it is non-stop, it should be around 6 hours. BTW, Washington DC has no airports so I'm assuming you are flying into Reagan National which is in Virginia.

It's a five hour flight, the airlines usually schedule an extra 30 minutes or so to allow for ATC and ground delays. Virgin America has great service on this route, I think Jetblue still flies out of Oakland non-stop. Both of them land at Dulles, which is a bit of a trek out of town. Price check your ground transportation before you buy your ticket--no point in saving $10 on the flight if it costs you an extra $30 to get to town, eh? Reagan National is the closest to dowtown, and it's not hard to take public transit from BWI into DC. Dulles, on the other hand...
