Agreed...I do always enjoy the GE experience at IAD. Given the volume and type of travelers entering through that gateway, there are of course reasons of both a practical and optical nature to ensure that it runs like a well-oiled machine, and in my experience that has always been the case.

I also do appreciate the succinct TR - BA F sounds like...well, BA F! For some reason people love to give it abuse but it has always served me well...and for those who make unfair comparisons, let me know when SQ or EK start flying IAD-LHR, bookable with AA miles. Maybe then those comparisons will be relevant!
