Located 10 miles south of downtown Baltimore and 30 miles north of Washington, D.C., Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) is a popular choice for travelers from both cities.

However, the airport is pretty barren when it comes to lounge options, with the exception of a few spaces and services available to select flyers.

Let’s run through the options and take a look at how you can gain access.

Final Thoughts

Baltimore/Washington International Airport is considered a medium-sized airport and served over 22 million passengers in 2022. With Southwest Airlines accounting for around 70% of passenger traffic, none of the so-called “Big 3” airlines (American, Delta, and United) have lounges at BWI.

Eligible Priority Pass holders have a few different options, including The Club at BWI, Minute Suites, and ROAM Fitness, although all of these also offer the ability to purchase a pass for non-members.
