Indeed. But I will maintain 1K status on United so I could use the PQD. IAD sucks and DCA is much closer (25 minutes door to door). But UA only flies to IAD from LGA. As I'm coming from LI it's much easier to use LGA than EWR unfortunately. If I'm really inclined I can take LIRR to NJT to Monorail to EWR and then land at DCA. But the time to do that is just as long as the mass transit options from IAD to my hotel (barring Uber, obvi).
