The Lowdown on Landing in Baltimore
Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) is your main gateway to the city. It's a pretty decent airport, we hear. Not as chaotic as some, but it’s got all the essentials: shops, food, and those questionable airport carpets that make you feel like you're in a time warp.
Now, let's talk about the birds that will get you there.
The Big Guns: If you're into big airlines with lots of options and frequent flyer miles, you're in luck. Delta, American, and United all have regular flights to BWI. They're like the reliable old friends you can always count on, even if they might charge you an arm and a leg for a checked bag.
The Budget Buddies: For those of us who prefer to spend our money on crab cakes and not airline fees, there are also some budget-friendly options. Southwest and Spirit offer cheaper fares, but be prepared for some extra fees and potentially less legroom. It's like choosing between a fancy restaurant and a food truck - both have their perks!
Other Options: There are a few other airlines that fly to BWI, but they might have limited schedules or routes. You know, the ones that only fly on Tuesdays and Thursdays, or only go to Baltimore from the middle of nowhere. If you're feeling adventurous, you could check them out, but we wouldn't blame you if you stuck with the big names.
Tips for Flying to Baltimore
- Book in advance: This is true for any flight, but especially for popular travel times.

- Pack light: Airline fees for checked bags can add up quickly.
- Be prepared for Baltimore weather: The weather can be unpredictable, so pack accordingly.
