I see DC area airports listed several times on that list. 🙂

  Well, yeah, DC’s pretty rockin’ too, and there’s an excellent chance I’ll end up there, particularly given my field of study. But …
  - Both of chicago’s airports are served directly by the L.
  - The L runs 24 hours (on the important lines).
  - The CTA has a flat fare structure with free transfers
  - Chicago is a heck of a lot closer to the west coast.
  - In Chicago they don’t panic at the sight of snow. =)

    I guess it depends on your travel needs. For trips to NYC or Europe, Atlanta does quite well for me 🙂 Although I found Chicago’s “Beagle Brigade” to be the best airport innovation in the history of air travel.

    I agree with you on all points. The DC subway does run till 3AM which is sufficient on most occaisions. 🙂 I try to fly out of National as much as possible, since it is a mile from my house. Chicago is nice in that they provide rapid transit to O’Hare.
