Jump to postWith RIC-BWI starting soon, will LGA-BWI be added in the future? I know Southwest has tried the LGA-BWI route in the past. However, it seems they are going for connectivity with the RIC-BWI route. I would think they’d like to have connectivity to the largest market in the U.S. thru BWI. I flew EWR-...

On the surface this is entirely oriented towards connections, as this slightly edges out BWI-ORF as the shortest route out of BWI, but that drive can push five hours in traffic.
It seems as though the management at Ned's Kids is finally getting the blue above the brown; a new Northeast Base (EWR or BWI) will open this fall as Atlantic City (the longstanding NK base) closes on 01 September. The "Blue Juice" hangover at NK has abated -- expect this company to compl...

UA is putting the 77W on IAD-CPT this spring, a pretty substantial increase in capacity: https://www.aeroroutes.com/eng/240318-ua2q24cpt
Is this the longest 77W route in UA's network?
I've flown transatlantic infrequently enough that I can specify by variant:
A340-300
-LH x 2, PHL-FRA, FRA-PHL
A380
-AF IAD-CDG
-BA x 2, IAD-LHR, LHR-IAD
747-400
-BA PHL-FRA
747-8
-LH FRA-IAD
757-200
-DL x 2, JFK-AGP, AGP-JFK
-EI DUB-PHL
777-200ER
-UA IAD-MUC
777-300ER
-AF CDG-IAD
From my home base of Baltimore (never flown internationally directly out of BWI, hoping to change that soon):
IAD: LHR, CDG, to MUC, from FRA
PHL: FRA, to LHR, from DUB
JFK: AGP
ATL: EZE
IAH: SJD
PHX: SJD
Yes, I do think it's significantly crowded compared to those airports. JFK and LAX are different stories because they are airports of multiple, individual terminals and largely cater to O/D traffic. I've never heard the running joke that on your way to hell you have to change planes in DFW or DEN. ...
