OP leaves a very kind post, and the first thing yall latch onto is the nickname they use for the airport. The “What’s Reagan?” crowd is as predictable as the “Dans cafe” crowd.

Also if I’m not mistaken it is in the address as well. I’m not offended at all. Regardless of what I called it they knew what I was referring to.

It's okay, people without a solid enough sense of identity cling onto political tribalism here, which they then use to Club anyone who gives even the slightest hint of deviency from their chosen orthodoxy.

They're best ignored. It's common for locals to call it national or DCA. Calling a place by its formal name is also normal and understandable

It was renamed over two decades ago. Change can hard, but that's more than enough time to adjust.
