Okay, Friends List. It's time for your Powers of Awesome to combine and give me some advice.

I'm flying down to DC for work next month, and I have Options. Of course, being me, I know next to NOTHING about all this, and would like the advice of the well-traveled among us.

Details on the trip:It's an overnighter for a kickoff event. I'll be

Wow, U R SMRT. Good call, Shanalama, GOOD CALL. This is why I ask you people things. XD

I just checked the website; it's not complimentary, but it's cheaper than a taxi. So I might do JetBlue. My only other concern is if the traffic is ridiculous; since the event is that night, I don't want to be late or rushing. But the shuttle is definitely an option.

What time are you flying into Dulles?

I used to live right there, so I know what the traffic is like, I can fill you in. XD

Dulles itself is a nice airport!

Wait, scratch that - if it's a one day, go into Ronald Reagan. It's easier all around, it sounds like.

[douxquemiel]

Yeah, it's a one-day. I'd be flying in early afternoon (12 to 2pm) and then flying out the next afternoon (but that doesn't matter.

Now I just need to figure out which airline to fly. XD

[melloniel]

Flip a coin three times. XDDD

duh!

Reagan is a good airport, I've flown in there a couple of times. It's easy to navigate and honestly I think that with the cab fare, it will work out to kind of be a wash financially whether you fly Jet Blue or go into Reagan. Therefore I vote Reagan for the lack of stress and running around.

I really like American and US Airways. Do not like United (they never seem to have their act together at check in, and they barely toss you a packet of crackers in flight). I've never flown Delta but my uncle has mad brand loyalty there for no discernible reason. He is a total weirdo who is obsessed with University of Rhode Island basketball and the stock market, so take his advice accordingly.

[douxquemiel]

Okay, so votes so far are stacking up for US Air and Delta, but not so much United or American. INTERESTING. Thanks for the thoughts; it's a big help.

[douxquemiel]

Hm, hmmm. Well, I'd probably be coming in early afternoon, and going out in the later afternoon. And given the advice I'm getting, so far I'm thinking Reagan, and probably US Air (folks seem to like it, plus my dad flies it). We shall seeeee. :)
