Yes. Unfortunately, I had to pick whether to go to the A at Howard Beach or E at Jamaica without knowing anything else about the NYC subway system from JFK. I didn't have my map with me and hadn't been through JFK before -- I knew how to get in town from LGA.
Anyway, the DH flights went quite well and I appreciated being able to use the trains the whole way instead of the M60 bus to LGA. I'll look to DH next time I'm heading to NYC as long as their fares are reasonable. Even with the non-stops from RDU on various carriers, I'm willing to help out and push my business to DH as long as the through-connections at IAD are reasonably efficient.
