The DCA web site suggest 90-120 minutes is ample though the airport can at times get very busy, especially during holidays so a 3 hour window might be advisable, especially if your destination is international. Aim to leave home earlier during snowy weather and keep an eye on your flight status. If parking at or near the airport be aware of the walking or shuttle trip duration and factor that into your intinerary.
