A different issue entirely!
On a more serious note, I'm interested in this as well. Since moving from ATL to ORF, I'm no longer bound to Delta. With the recent changes in the Skymiles program I'm considering shopping around. I wouldn't want to drive to the DC area for typical flights, but for an exotic getaway on an award ticket, IAD on UA or BA would definitely be an option.
