I actually see travel time as private time - I can't be reached, and I make the most of it. The day they turn on wifi on UA long-haul flights I will cry like a baby.
I would go to IAD in such a situation, but IAD doesn't serve every Asian destination non-stop. So once I'm changing planes, DCA is almost always in play.
