Baltimore/Wash International Thurgood Marshall Airport

Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport opened in 1950 and today operates from a single terminal with three concourses, serving as a major gateway for the Baltimore–Washington region. Mid-sized but busy, BWI handles tens of millions of passengers annually and is a convenient alternative to Reagan National and Dulles. It sits about 10 miles south of downtown Baltimore and roughly 30 miles from Washington, D.C., with Amtrak and MARC service at the adjacent BWI Rail Station (short shuttle to the terminal), light rail/business district links, frequent airport shuttles and direct highway access. Known for competitive fares thanks to a strong low-cost carrier presence, BWI is a major base for Southwest Airlines and offers extensive service from American, Delta, United, JetBlue and Spirit.
