Matt Wald ~ I'm hard pressed to argue with that. The thing is, I typically come here for meetings in Crystal City, which is right next to Ronny Ray-Gun airport, so I don't need a rental car or any of that junk and it's infinitely more convenient. All I do is take the shuttle bus to the hotel (preferred: Crystal City Hyatt, secondary (like this trip): Courtyard by Marriott Crystal City, both right across the street from my company's offices and several other comapanies I do business with), and walk to my meetings.
DCA is hard pressed to deal with this kind of weather with only one primary run way ... that's why they are completely closed, to clear the runway, where as at most other airports you can work on clearing one runway, finishe and switch to the other while the first run way handles flights ...
