Baltimore/Washington Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) is typically positioned as a major domestic and low-cost-friendly gateway for the Baltimore–Washington region rather than a premium international hub. It commonly hosts legacy carriers and several low-cost airlines, so fares can often be more budget-friendly compared with nearby alternatives. BWI sits about 9–10 miles south of downtown Baltimore; travel time is commonly 20–35 minutes by car depending on traffic, and rideshares or taxis usually run in a modest fare range. Transit options include the MARC commuter train and local shuttles that can take 30–45 minutes, often for a lower cost. Pros: generally straightforward check-in, plentiful parking and competitive fares; cons: can be busier at peak times and is not as centrally located as some urban airports.
San Francisco International (SFO) serves as the Bay Area’s primary international hub, handling a mix of legacy carriers, many transpacific flights, and several major U.S. airlines; low-cost carriers also operate there but may favor other Bay Area airports for some domestic routes. Located about 13 miles south of downtown San Francisco, travel times to the city center typically range from 25–45 minutes by BART or 20–50 minutes by car depending on traffic; BART fares are usually in the lower double digits while shared rides and taxis can be notably higher. Pros: extensive international connections, full-service amenities and ground transit links. Cons: can feel busy, has occasional congestion and higher on-site parking costs.
