Where exactly would this 4th airport be located?[/quote]

Manassas where the current regional airport is located.[/quote]

The metro doesn't go to Manassas.

Doesn’t go to BWI either. What’s the point?[/quote]

Yeah. BWI sucks. Such a PITA. We don’t need another inaccessible airport in BFE. [/quote]

Different strokes.

I'm not a business traveler and I love flying out of BWI.  I consider it to be in inconvenience to fly out of DCA and it is a royal PITA to get out to IAD and fly from there.  I had to do that a couple of years ago and it was torturous.  You want to talk about inaccessible.  The Beltway and the Dulles toll road are a major hassle to deal with, you have to park in Tennessee to use the airport and factor in a boatload of time to get from the daily parking lot to the terminal.  And every stupid gate takes like 45 min to get to from the terminal.  The reason we were going there was our flight from BWI was canceled and we could only get a replacement in time from IAD.  But the difference was huge.  Once on the grounds of IAD, it took twice as much time to get to the terminal there, get checked in, and out  to our gate as it took to do so at BWI.  IAD was very inefficient to traverse.  [/quote]
