Ah, then I got a bad day CO triple-play. A rude EWR counter agent, a disinterested EWR gate agent, and a misinformed phone agent. Next time I make a booking like this, I will print out the fare rules and carry them with me. There was nothing in the rules that restricted the fare to IAD.

Well, at least I burned off the starbucks pumpkin spice latte while walking from CO's IAD gate back to the main terminal
