    Great airport to use for dropping off and picking up family & friends. It's also very easy to make connecting flights out of.

    The chipotle in concourse A will run out of everything as soon as you get there... Especially if its around 3pm... But it's not a long wait to restock and the food is great!

    The Burger Joint in Conc. B...good burger, made fresh to order, but be prepared to wait. I ordered a burger and it took 20 min! A med rare burger at that! Hello! It shouldn't take as long to cook!

    It doesn’t do anyone any good to show up early for their flights if there are no agents to check them in 2 hours prior, Delta, come on.

    Ah Baltimore. While you wait on the runway, read this infographic on why you have to turn off your electronics during takeoff and landing (Read it before you stow your device away!). Read more

    Word to the wise....if u have a gate departing from C or D u must enter "Security" through ur gate C or D, if u have a A or B u can enter in either one. C&D r not connected to any other gate.

    Just a heads up ever since Jan 1 of 2015 the TSA precheck line is NEVER open on Thursdays. This is a real pain for business travelers as this is a big travel day for us road warriors.

    Security lines can be long, but actually move daily quickly. Also, tip your TSA agents...that goes over well!

    Lovely airport, plenty of options for picking up an arrival. Dunks, DuClaw brewing and more pre security.

    Hidden in the corner of A10 there's some comfy seats and power bars with charging outlets that your phone won't fall out of.

    If you are leaving someone at the airport, there are no places to eat, just a Starbucks and a Dunkin dunuts. But if you are traveling, there are more places to eat passing security.

    Good crab cakes but small and less crab then some others. The hush puppies are very good. The service is Pleasant and efficient.

    The best way to get to the BWI aiport is to use Baltimore's Light Railway. One-way ticket from downtown Baltimore costs less than two dollars and the journey is both short and comfortable.

    If you park across the airport make sure go to level 6 that will take you directly to the skywalk path.

    Everything you've heard about the TSA security line being bad? It's worse—and likely starts down the hallway long before you even reach the corded lines.

    Brand new C concourse is in operation, but don't walk all the way down there expecting anything to be open.. All the shops were closed by 9pm... Had to go all the way back to A, just to get a water.

    Apparently there is a kids play area between the D & E, but you can't access it from any other areas without leaving through security. 😠

    Free wi-fi! Also long term parking isn't too bad at $8/day (cheaper if you go with private parking lots further off-site).

    If you aren't TSA Precheck approved, I recommend signing up. It's wonderful! Bypass the lines, leave your belt and shoes on....love it!

    If you're stuck for the night, McDonald's is the first place to open at 04:30... Hope you're not looking for any soda machines while you wait all night!

    If everyone stands backs 2 feet from the edge of the baggage claim carousel, then everyone could see their luggage and you wouldn't be crowded when grabbing your luggage.

    There are Clif Bars in one of the vending machines between the light rail stop and baggage claim. They are $3 but a convenient alternative. :)

    There are fresh cut flowers in the ladies room and a wine bar right next to my gate. What more could you ask for? Mani and massage. Done.

    One of the easiest airports to fly in and out of. Security moves ok but if you go to the security line down a level near baggage claim there is hardly ever a wait. And they now have a Chipotle!

    If you need a cart, before you pay, go outside near the baggage claim area and look for an abandoned one for free. It could be your lucky day~

    Flying out of the D concourse? For $20 you can go into the Airspace lounge (free for some Amex customers) and charge up, eat, hop on their free wifi etc.

    You need to dress for traveling and going thru security. Take all your items out of your pockets and put them a tray before going thru the scanners.

    If you are departing from A gates, you can save time in line by going through security in B&C area. Walk through B&C to get to A.

    Just FYI, there are more than one TSA screen entry points. Everyone always goes to the one closest to the check in kiosks
