There area also some random non-hub flights from DCA that can be useful occasionally (LEX and OMA). I also use my GUCs on the IAD-AMS flight when going to Europe.

The biggest weakness for me is the limited non-stop service to Florida, since it's too close to justify a connection. Although I've flown both the DCA-MCO and DCA-MIA non-stops, they only fly a few days a year so I generally fly JetBlue for all my Florida travel.
This is super helpful, thank you for the feedback
