[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems these are all United flights. If you have status with United, you may try standby the non-stop for the same day flights.

Agree that ANA plane is more pleasant - food and service, but it might be more expensive buying tickets from United on their metal. Chicago Polaris lounge just reopened if you can access. For SFO (and LAX), the first lag could be long and tiring, but you may find higher chance of second lag on ANA. I also find flights from BWI to SFO/LAX and then connect to Asia cheaper than from IAD. When flying back, the non-stop is about 
12-13 hours, shorter than flying to TYO. Flying to west coast is under 10 hours so it might make sense to connect there and the second lag would be just 4-5 hours. Immigration at LAX/SFO could be slow though.

Not sure if other airlines are being considered, but American flies to TYO through DFW and LAX. We had luck to fly JAL A351 Biz from DFW to HND, something I would not hesitate to do again.

You can only access the Polaris lounges if you are in Polaris.

If you can’t do the nonstop, I’d rather connect in Chicago or NYC area than the west coast. Coming off a long flight and getting on that flight back to DC from CA will make that second shorter leg feel longer than the first. [/quote]
