grammar - Fight 707 arrives at/in Washington D.C. in ten minutes




  1. Fight 707 arrives at Washington D.C. in ten minutes.




  2. Fight 707 arrives in Washington D.C. in ten minutes.







Do we have to use 'at' or 'in' in this case? Washington D.C. is a big city, so we have to use 'in' normally. However, because the plane leaves the city soon, the city can be a particular point on a map. So, can we use 'at' in this case?
