United doesn't have a good terminal at IAD...C&D are dumps and A is a unique form of frustration, but when you leave the gate, you are not #20 for departure.
Agreed - EWR is only O&D for me, but the thought of actually connecting through there (esp. if going UA/UX or vice versa) makes me shudder.

Plus...IAD has the LH SEN lounge (and Chipotle if closed!)
