I usually find that most airlines, including AA and DL, and most times UA, match B6 fares to their destinations. So flying B6 has no real advantage because their FF program is useless. However, I have noticed that when you need to book a flight that's scheduled to leave in 2 days or less, B6 is generally a little less. While I haven't been to that gate at IAD, it sounds worse than FL @ BOS, where they have a pathetic terminal (D) to themselves. But think of the good side-more exercise to burn off the calories from greasy food and blue potato chips!
