My mistake, must have mis-read the map online. On quick-glance, it really appeared to require a transfer.

Thanks. It comes out to about $100/pax more (
DCA over BWI), and there's probably a time cut-off that says BWI is acceptable (
>4days BWI ok?), while DCA makes more time-sense in the short-term. Frustrating, when comparing to ORD/MDW, the metric (
imo) of airport/downtown transport. Thanks for the input, guess for a 2-day trip, DCA is worth the extra cost (
to recover the time).
