Vallard BenincosaApril 22, 2011For rental car return best to take 100 and exit arunda mills then head north. Mall right there if you have time to kill before flight.
California Tortilla is the best! Make sure to grab some chips and queso during your layover
Really impressed with the bar style charging/work stations in the Southwest terminal. Got lots of work done before my flight.
Yolanda De Prado-SlackSeptember 22, 2012Jamba Juice isn't as good as it looks/sounds... Also, someone get an indoor smoking room in this joint!
Love the daily parking garage, electronic system shows open spots
For Southwest, new security check downstairs near baggage claim is a hidden secret!! No lines at all.
Airport security doesnt hassle for sitting in your car in the departure or arrivals area...love! <3
Do NOT fly Spirit! $50 to carry bag on and $45 to check it! If you check in online on the return it's $30! I guess that's the good deal you get. :-/
Sreelekha NaiduJune 22, 2013Arrive Early.. Especially on Friday mornings.. Damn, had to wait the whole day, as Missed my early mrng flight!!
Thomas BucklandMay 19, 2014Prepare to wait an eternity for luggage. Also, if renting a car prepare to wait a second eternity for the rental car bus... or pay for a cab.
Don't forget SW and Air Tran have a security line downstairs if upstairs us busy!
Try the new security checkpoint on the lower level near baggage claim. Much shorter line.
Walk to the opposite end of the MARC/Amtrak -> airport shuttle stop to the preceding stop & board before the crowd...
Jodi B.November 5, 2010Traveling with a violin or guitar? Delta let's you board with priority seating - just after First Class is seated! Very cool. :)
For a busy airport they only have 1/2 the precheck lines open most of the time
Tory T.January 6, 2012Take advantage of the outlets at the "mini desks" at the gates to charge up your phone or laptop.
Matthew TaubFebruary 28, 2018No precheck at terminal A. Precheck at B is usually super crowded. Rental car center is super far away and it takes forever to show up. Overall this is a pretty crappy airport.
Terminals D...near gate 26....Pepper's Mexican grill .... Breakfast tacos. $6 for two I couldn't even finish 1!!!! Potato cheese bacon.
Marcus McFlyyNovember 16, 2013Active duty military can skip the TSA screening by going through A or C concourse 😉
Turn your passport face down when you check in on the machines at American.
Park in long term. Cheaper and the shuttles run a lot more frequently. 3 long term busses for every one daily.
Easy come, easy go. Simply the easiest airport to get in and out of in the DC area
Jody JensenJanuary 15, 2012Food/beverage options on Terminal C are pretty meager. You have to wander Terminals A or B for good selection. Have to pick up Starbucks before going through C security. Ugh.
The centralized car rental/return location with co-utilized, natural gas powered shuttle buses is super efficient!
BWI does have PreCheck after 9p BUT sometimes they will honor it if they aren’t too busy.
Amy LeighMay 22, 2017Southwest terminal has a variety of food options. Very crowded, bathroom not so clean with so many ppl
The gates to the land of Mary with a little charm city on the side. Swoon
The only option for food/coffee in the int'l terminal has unpredictable, intermittent hours. Eat before you come. As for coffee, you're SOL.
Ashley NorrisSeptember 12, 2011The Body Shop has awesome sales...be sure to at least stroll through to check it out
Flight delayed 2 hours due to plane issue. Jetblue made it right by giving me a free dinner voucher worth $12. Go Jetblue!- Did they put the rental cat lot in DC on purpose? Leave lots of time if you need to pick up or drop off. The bus ride is 8 mins, and finding the place adds another 10.
Thanks to the people at TSA, the lines were short and quick!!!
Have an express membership with your rental car company so you can avoid the lines in the rental car garage.

"Facility is modern, clean and easy to navigate. Plus the interior artwork doubles as earthquake monitor. I rented from Hertz this time and the Gold Choice lane was completely empty."
