Ten 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 lounges, with the exception of a few spaces and services available to select flyers.

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

Final Thoughts

Baltimore/Washington International Airport is considered a medium-size airport and served over 25 million passengers in 2025. 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. There are reports of a potential Southwest Airlines lounge being considered for the recently completed concourse A/B connector, so watch this space.

Eligible Priority Pass members have a couple of options for The Club at BWI and Minute Suites, though both also allow nonmembers to purchase a pass.
