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

    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.

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

    Everything else is good about the airline but the only thing is the Spirit airline should not be making you pay for your carry-on luggage

    The airport is nice enough, but rental cars are offsite and renters are required to ride (at least sometimes) an extremely overcrowded shuttle bus to the rental facility.

    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!

    Great selection of restaurants. Plenty of seating, just wish there more outlets for charging phones, computers, etc.

    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

    You can get from the light rail to your gate in less than an hour if you're quick on an early morning.

    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.

    Not a bad airport. Modern, clean, and finding baggage claim and car rental is extremely convenient. I'd rather fly into this airport if you are heading to Washington DC/Baltimore region. 😀😀😀

    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).

    Dominique Christopher is what's good at BWI! He really made my day going the extra mile to locate an item that I left on the plan during a transfer flight.

    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.

    Have your ride pick you up upstairs on the departures level. It always is less crowded.

    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.

    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.

    If you're a United flier, there's no club at this airport. Tough to find outlets and work space so grab one if you see it!

    A very nice employee let us know there is a second security line downstairs. We were happy we took his advice because there were 0 people.

    If you're an USAA member, rent a car from Hertz. Remember to use USAA`s CDP code for the reservation. I reserved the manager's special for $17/day for unlimited mileage.

    Delta security airlines were quite long for early Monday travel. They were moving quite well, but still give self 1.5 HRS at least for domestic flights out.

    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.

    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 traveling Southwest, go through security area C regardless of gate. A little more walking but the line is about half as long.

    Pack efficiently! Make your laptop, toiletries, and shoes easy to remove so security keeps moving. Your fellow travelers will thank you!

    Sign up for Clear if you fly out of here regularly. Worth the ~$130/year.
