not to mention when they “cargo optimize “ and now they can’t take you because they’re over landing weight.

Pardon my ignorance because I’m sure it’s been mentioned on here as nauseum but what’s the commuter policy?

the short version is that you need two attempts. There’s a provision for positive space (like you buy a ticket, for example), then you need one attempt but it has to get in 90 mins prior to show.

ie I have two flights that leave one of my local airports on other airlines at 6:00 and 6:18 pretty much every day to my base. It means I can do 10 AM shows pretty easy.
If I buy a ticket on either I’m not covered under the commuter policy as it’s less than 90 minutes. Which is wild.

It makes it better in some cases to not buy a ticket. You can show later.

ATL-DCA/IAD isn't awful. I did it for 5 years and missed exactly 2 flights to full jump seats. It's easier than EWR I'll say that.
Delta runs like 10 flights a day to DCA and 5-6 to IAD. Then AA Southwest and United all do 2-4 a day.

IAH is the best bet for “junior” and commute. Still sucks, but it’s better than Newark or across the whole country to SFO.
