My favorite airport to fly out of and you know if you live in the DMV we have plenty of choices…read more The drop off is super easy as every airline is along the same corridor. Keep in mind, if you have an early flight that the luggage drop off counter usually doesn't open until 2 hours before your flight. We've had 6am flights where we had to wait for the counter to open before proceeding to security. TSA is pretty efficient here and we've always used TSA Precheck to breeze through. On the other side of security there's a nice BWI lounge that serves a handful of food. If you're there for breakfast make sure to try the Old Baby cream cheese. On return, baggage claim is simple but there is a separate section for oversized luggage. Don't be like me and wait for your car seat at the regular belt. If you're calling an Uber to get back home the app will tell you which door to stand outside of. Once you're at that door make sure you're on the curb furthest away from the airport. The first row of lanes is dedicated for shuttles and buses and Uber drivers cannot access it.

Yelp Review 2026 #190:…read more I had a layover at BWI airport. I landed at gate E and had to catch my next flight at gate B. I have Global Entry and TSA Precheck so the process was much easier and faster. However, there was no signage where to exit. I found somebody to ask and directed me to the right direction. Then, I encountered 2 separate lines: connecting flights on the left and exit on the right and I was told to go to the right which didn't make sense since I need to catch my connecting flight but CBP agent told me I need to exit and go through security again and get to terminal B. So, why the signage? It's either no signage or if they do have signage, it's wrong. I made it to security before heading to the domestic terminals. The touchless TSA Precheck was closed off so I went to regular Precheck. I told the TSA agent I had touchless Precheck and he told me "next time go to touchless Precheck!" I asked him if he has seen anybody in line for touchless Precheck, no, because it's roped off meaning it's closed! He then drops my passport and boarding pass. There are moving walkways to expedite hopping from terminal E to B. However, people were blocking the walkway and not moving! If you're standing, stay on the right and let people that are walking pass on the left! It just seemed like everyone's first day on earth. The restrooms aren't the best nor the cleanest. They don't have good options for lounges so I skipped that and went to eat at two airport restaurants. They do have a nice selection of restaurants.

Used to love flying on southwest when your bags would be free but now that they have changed I…read moredon't know. This was my first time flying with them since the change. Seems like they nickel and dime you for everything. So many options for seating and so many additional charges. Bags are now 35 a piece. The nice thing is that you can select your seat. No more worries about not getting to sit with your family. The seats on this flight seems to me a bit more spacious, enough leg room for me and I am 6'2". The plane did seem newer. They had usb ports in the seats for easy phone charging. My flight took off and landed on time, though I know that's largely out of the airline's control. I would still fly for short trips that I only need a carry on.

Yelp Review 2026 #189:…read more Flying from Jamaica and back home, I flew with Southwest because it was free for me. Southwest posts videos of how great, friendly and happy their staff and passengers are. However, this particular experience from Baltimore to Vegas was far from that. First, my boarding gate kept changing from B to A and back to B2 to B12. Our flight was delayed. Second, I'm in boarding group 2 with a seat in the 2nd row. I had a carry-on and a backpack. I had nowhere to put my carry-on in the front because people in row 4-6 put their carry-ons and backpacks in the overhead bin above row 2! How did the flight attendants not catch this? I was going to put my carry-on above row 1 and the flight attendant tells me it won't fit when I put the same carry-on above row 1 in my previous flight! A nice gentleman offers to put my carry-on above row 4 and he also grabbed it for me when we landed. Thank goodness for him because the flight attendants were useless. I don't expect them to carry carry-ons but at least make sure people are placing their stuff above their assigned seats. I had Choice Extra. "Southwest Airlines uses eight numbered boarding groups. Group 2 is for Choice Extra fares, passengers who purchase an Extra Legroom seat, and A-List Preferred members. This group boards just after pre-boarding and Group 1. It ensures you get early access to overhead bin space. Extra Legroom seat customers get a complimentary premium snack on flights over 301 miles. Regular snacks are free on all flights over 251 miles. Premium snack options include: Wonderful® Pistachios (No Shells, Roasted & Salted)Siete® Mini Grain Free Mexican Wedding CookiesBobo's® Strawberry Stuff'd Oat BiteBlue Diamond® AlmondsRITZ® Cheese Cracker Sandwiches." Third, the flight attendants gave pistachios to people in row 1, 3-4 and completely skipped our row. Not that I need another bag or pistachios but it was as if we didn't exist! Fourth, there was no power outlet. Fifth, they're clearly understaffed. The poor gate agent was pushing people in wheelchairs, scanning their tickets, making announcements all by himself! This man needs a raise and recognition.

Back in the old days, BWI airport was very difficult to get around and if you had a short timeframe between connection flights, chances are you will not make your next flight. The airport has been through several renovations, and it is much more adaptive to get around the airport. The selection of restaurants are much better depending on which terminal your flight comes into. BWI has a beautiful ambiance and everything is easily accessible in the airport. It is a great airport and would choose to connect through BWI anytime if I go to visit family in NC.

I had just come in on the redeye, and I needed a nap. Overall, this place was a good experience…read more It is small, there is only I believe six rooms. Each room comes with a day bed, a desk to work on, an Amazon Fire TV, and even an Amazon Alexa unit. Free Wi-Fi is also available. I didn't use it, so I can't speak to the speed. The rooms are small, but good for what you get. There were plenty of outlets and USB ports to charge my gear. When I checked in, I noticed that my room didn't have a blanket. I asked the lady, and she said she wasn't sure if she had any left... She found me a blanket, and said that I was lucky that I got the last one. A sleeping area with no blankets? Also, there were two pillows in my room, but they were relatively flat. I just folded one over, and I was fine. The daybed was a bit firm for my personal taste, but I still got a good nap. If you are a Priority Pass member, you get one hour. However, your free hour is on a. Walk-in/ space available basis. You can make a reservation online, but you have to make a reservation for two hours, And the second hour is $40. I had two hours before I could pick up my rental car anyway, so it wasn't a big deal. It was worth the price for the extra hour. This is not a lounge, just a sleeping area. They do have snacks/ drinks/sundries available, but there is a charge for them. There are no showers, and there is no restroom inside, however, the restrooms are only a few steps away from the entrance. Overall, it was a good experience. I would do it again. Thank you.

Since I haven't taken many vacations this year, the hubby said he'd use his points to book me a first class ticket. Of course I said yes! Above is the price / point breakdown. The flight there was fine. Got offered champagne before takeoff then fed a meal. The chose the cheese plate on the way there. Got the usual warm nuts to start. Ordered a few glasses of red wine and had a seltzer water as well. I was on the redeye, so was able to take a quick nap. The flight back, the plane was a little older. Felt slightly dingier. No champagne before takeoff offered. Got the usual nuts. For my meal, I got the Tomato and burrata manicotti and got a few glasses of champagne. Also took a nap here as well. There was a sharks and a warriors game while I was on the plane. Was able to stream after buying wifi. Both flights were fine, tho I do think if you fly first you should get access to the lounge. I believe they only do it on one of their routes domestically from SFO to EWR, but if you are flying basically the same amount of time, you should also get access. Not my favorite airline, but it will do. REVIEW #3873

Three counter employees for 50 people checking in is ridiculous…read more By the time you make the line, you will be told that you're too late to check in. My agent was smug, unprofessional and plain slow and lazy. Rude tone of voice when speaking and dismissive. She begins to find me another flight the next day, and asks me where I'm going. I say "Chicago." Her reply, "Where's Chicago?" Uh, yeah. Let that sink in for a second. I didn't respond. She had to call a colleague on the phone to ask where Chicago is. These are the types of employees working for UA. How can you not know basic geography and locations of the MAJOR US airport hubs that your company uses? ZERO stars. I Uber'd all the way to Dulles after that fiasco and whizzed by the check in process there. Staff directing people where to go. No rudeness or confusion. Fast, easy, efficient. I won't fly UA ever again and especially not through BWI. Their passenger seats feel inhumane, like a caged animal in a box. Awful.

Otherwise, the flight attendant helped me put my bag in a bin up top, and the flight went smooth. But passengers always MAD and hating when it's time to de-board. Some Indian lady had an attitude lol and talking about waiting her turn to get off the plane when no body has to wait, anyone can go with the flow of traffic. They need to mange the exiting style a little better. I notice this every time I exit a plane passengers are either hot or cold. I guess you can pay additional to sit in front so u can get off the plane first... but who wants to do that? lol Anyways I sent spirit feedback and complained about my in flight experience already and I'll be waiting for an email back!
