    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.

    Definitely consider this airport if you're flying into the DC area. There is only one Priority Pass lounge, which had been closed for a year and reopened under a new name.

    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!

    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.

    This airport is only 1.5 hours from our headquarters in Harrisburg, PA and is great alternative when you can't find a suitable flight at HIA or are traveling to other Central PA locations.

    Skip 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.

    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.

    New C security checkpoint will get you to A and B gates but is a ghost town compared to the A and B checkpoints.

    Head to D41/42 for a quiet place to hide out and plug in. Free wifi here or at the Airspace lounge (pw:airspace).

    Southwest is great. We got here 14 minutes early. The pilot said "The next time we're late, we'll call it even."

    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.

    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.

    If you're outside of security grab a bite at Duclaw's and try the Misfit Red, a Baltmore amber ale

    If you packed a garment bag, the steward(ess) might have space to hang/stow your bag in the closet when you board...

    For the A and B gates, there's a second security screening line downstairs! Look past the regular security line and go down those stairs!

    Please watch your speed on your way to the airport. Cops don't care even if you're already running late to catch your flight.

    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.

    TSA PreCheck line is a longer than most a majority of the time. Leave extra time for security.

    This is a pretty nice airport...it's clean and the personnel is friendly (but not TOO friendly), and food is reasonably priced.

    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

    TSA gets the lines through in a hurry, but if you're in a rush they have checkpoints on the lower level!
