Formally known as the District of Columbia, this state goes by name different names. It's commonly referred to as Washington, D.C., simply D.C. or The District. It's also the capital of the United States. D.C. is the epi-center of politics, history, and everything that makes the United States of America so great. When you charter flights to D.C., you'll also discover iconic monuments and culturally-rich museums. It's also where the three pillars of the US government reside: the President, Congress, and the Supreme Court.
