How to Find Cheap Air Travel to/from Baltimore

People flying into Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (airport code BWI) might just be evenly split between those who are heading to Baltimore and those who are heading to Washington D.C. But not everyone flying into the US capital is flying into BWI (as it is commonly called) – there are three major airports serving D.C. Since BWI lies northeast of Washington D.C., it might be a good option if you are not actually visiting the capital – but it is also a fine choice for a visit to D.C. as well.

BWI Airport is in the unincorporated area of Linthicum in Maryland, and it is a major focus city for Southwest Airlines. Although it is one of the three airports which does technically serve Washington D.C., the other two airports are closer to the city than BWI so there is not the large number of airlines using it as a hub that you might otherwise expect. There are also not many international airlines using BWI. British Airways is one that does have service to BWI. The airport does seem to attract budget airlines, however, like Southwest.
