I just took a relatively last minute trip to DC with two of my kids because the fare was so cheap. This was flying into BWI....Dulles and Reagan National were both substantially more (it cost x to fly to BWI, 2x to fly to Dulles, and 3x to fly to National). A lot of this is because Southwest flies out of BWI, though we flew United because they matched Southwest's fare. I just checked....Southwest does BWI-Tuscon for as little as $99 each way, though it is a less than perfectly convenient routing (through Chicago and/or Kansas City, usually). This should exert some downward pressure on other carrier's fares on the route. EDIT: I see your post now that you fly from Virginia. I would recommend if price matters at all to you that you might pay $100 or so for a limo to BWI (I took the MARC train for less than $5 from DC each way), and pocket the rest of the difference in fare. American's fare from BWI to Tucson is as low as $250 RT.
