David MayfieldFebruary 13, 2018Nice but way to far from DC and the rental cars are too far away. Wish United had comp fares to DCA. Their fare structure sux!
Kim Bell-PompeySeptember 3, 2012Very nice airport, lots of food choices and excellent location, right by most gates.
Laura HoweNovember 23, 2010Skip high priced taxis and the irritatingly long trip on Super Shuttle. Take Amtrak to and from DC. It's only $14, super fast and runs every 30 min or so from 5:30 am to 9:30 pm.
FastPark is the key. I've tried every option on site... Car to terminal service, shuttles every 5 min, free bottled water and news paper... And it's 8 bucks. Stay away from the daily lot.
Christopher PotterJune 19, 2013Head to D41/42 for a quiet place to hide out and plug in. Free wifi here or at the Airspace lounge (pw:airspace).
Alyssa WarrickMarch 12, 2013Granted it was a Tuesday early morning flight, but security was SUPER FAST at Terminal D. Much faster than Reagan Airport on a Tuesday AM.
It's all about the terminal at BWI. Southwest terminal rocks while D terminal (airtran, us airways etc) is a notch above the 7th layer of he'll. Just sayin.
The New concorse C security is open and you can walk back to terminal A&B through the now open connector. No lines
LaurenDecember 23, 2013The only place that gets me through my layover is Obrycki's. Great drinks and awesome crab cakes!
New connecter from B terminal to C terminal is open....If your in B dont go to C...its sad...If your in C leave now...go to B as fast as you can!!
BEWARE: there are mice scurrying around the corridors by gate D36 and D37. By far the grossest thing I've ever seen at an airport. Get your act together BWI!
Make sure you get good for the longer flights...plenty of options
- Alfred Lewers JrSeptember 9, 2012Southwest is great. We got here 14 minutes early. The pilot said "The next time we're late, we'll call it even."
Silver Diner is a great place to dine for long layovers.
jamesSeptember 22, 2013If you're traveling Southwest, go through security area C regardless of gate. A little more walking but the line is about half as long.
I think that's the most convenient airport of the DC area, it has Southwest (cheap flight) and good transportation, and it's not too much of a headache to get in and out.
WenOctober 16, 2012This is a really nice airport. Clean, lots of charging stations, tons of dining options.
Zac ShipleySeptember 17, 2013Concourse D has a kids play area right next to Dunkin Donuts. Travel weary parent approved!
If you packed a garment bag, the steward(ess) might have space to hang/stow your bag in the closet when you board...
New C security checkpoint will get you to A and B gates but is a ghost town compared to the A and B checkpoints.
AlexNovember 24, 2012If you're outside of security grab a bite at Duclaw's and try the Misfit Red, a Baltmore amber ale
Speed of security has greatly improved with the new design.
You can go through any security checkpoint to grab dinner as long as you have a boarding pass for that day. It doesn't matter what airline you're flying.
EbonyJanuary 20, 2014Very organized! TSA is actually nice. The lines at security checkpoint move quick.
When you are here make sure you stop and either give me a hug or dap me up.
Republican National ConventionJuly 20, 2012The third Republican presidential nominating convention was held at the Front Street Theatre in Baltimore on June 7–8, 1864 to re-nominate President Lincoln for his second term.
If you're going to D.C. go South. Headed to Baltimore? Go North. Headed for trouble? Go straight to hell. Thanks for the ride; it's been pleasant.
Leo MurrietaFebruary 17, 2012For the A and B gates, there's a second security screening line downstairs! Look past the regular security line and go down those stairs!
If u park at the long term lot, it is very convenient and only 8 per day? The shuttle comes every 10_15mins during rush hour- Airport police drive black SUVs and have no problem pulling people over for speeding in the arrival/departure areas. Just watched two people get tagged.
Jim DessertMarch 28, 2013Just opened Chipotle in A/B Concourse Food Court inside security. Be sure to allow extra time because of the Line.
Tatum VayavanandaJuly 8, 2010If you're an evening arrival, have your people pick you up upstairs at departures; Few are there that late and no one is hassling you to move your car and it's much easier to spot your pick up.
Aviva GaliSeptember 18, 2012Southwest is great!! FREE bag checks & carry-ons with really friendly service & a sense of humor!!
- Ray HoffmanJune 14, 2013Nice airport! Not sure who made us wait 3 hours on the tarmack however it was a weather delay. Nice place!
Come early especially durin summer and weekend as the security checkpoint tend to be at least 30 min wait long
TSA gets the lines through in a hurry, but if you're in a rush they have checkpoints on the lower level!
One of the nicer airports in the US to fly in and out of.
The downstairs Southwest security checkpoint is closed for construction. Get here early.
Michele HandlonMarch 27, 2011This is a pretty nice airport...it's clean and the personnel is friendly (but not TOO friendly), and food is reasonably priced.
DoubleTree by Hilton ManagerSeptember 9, 2011Look-up public transportation options in your destination city prior to leaving to save money on cab fare. For more travel tips, follow @DoubleTree on Twitter!
Always something here. On a ground hold and it's 90 and sunny here and where we're headed. Maybe I should try and find a crab cake! Lol
Marlon AlaanMarch 25, 2015Please watch your speed on your way to the airport. Cops don't care even if you're already running late to catch your flight.
Print a boarding pass - the mobile doc scanner at security is constantly "out of battery power" and you'll have to go back and print your boarding pass
Check out Airspace lounge. $20 but includes wifi, $7 food/drink credit, and coffee
