Regular readers know that we took on United Airlines and the Washington Metro Airport authority on the issue of allowing more long-haul flights to western cities to and from Reagan National Airport. The bureaucracy was fiercely against it and United was trying to force flyers to commute out to Dulles Airport where it has the most flights. This was a big win for consumer convenience and for more competition – which LOWERS prices.

It’s a small victory in the grand scheme of things, but we will take them when we get them. We thank and congratulate Ted Cruz for his leadership.
