In my experience, DCA is generally way more expensive to fly in and out of than BWI (though it might be offset by metro accessibility)
definitely more expensive..cause its the better option... you pay a premium for that..well worth it... shit the idea of getting on 495 to go to BWI which might as well be Baltimore... ..talk about stress...
clever marketing calling it BWI....
You could take the MARC to BWI. National is dangerous. Pilots don't like to fly there. Only reason it is open is because congress is too lazy to go to Dulles. I think BWI is cheaper because it is almost all Southwest and Airtran. Discount airlines mean cheaper fares. Anyway like I said there is never a reason for me to fly out of National. BWI has all the domestic routes. National doesn't do international. So Philly is actually the best option. I can get direct flights to most every where in Europe and if they dont' have it odds are Dulles doesn't either. Well I did fly to Iceland from Dulles last year as Dulles has direct flight. But it is such a pain to get to.
National rocks... Not one airport related accident...nice shops... small terminal.... metro stop right there..beautiful views....can't be beat...
Tell that to the people who crashed into the 14th street bridge. I am sure short runways had nothing do with that crash.
It's pretty widely recognized that the pilots fucked up in de-icing the wings....as in they didn't.
All 3 airports are relatively painless for me to fly out of. I go with whoever is cheapest and has the departure times i need.
But I digress...perhaps this should be taken to the Commentary on Dropping Like Flies thread.
