Choosing a base...commute vs reserve?
Planning on commuting from my home. No bases within driving distance, but airport near me has several non-stops per day to Charlotte, at least one to DCA, and one to PHL. Want a short reserve time but not crazy about a two leg commute to Dayton or CVG. Any recommendations. PHL is furthest distance from me and concerned about crashpad cost in DC area. Any recommendations?

On mainline it's a pink tag that you'll get from the gate agents.
