BWI Baltimore/Washington international airport is currently undergoing some renovations, which seem…read moreto be making it more user-friendly and less stressful. The concourse has been opened up, and generally, it's spa to walk around, and it has some of the cleaner bathrooms amongst US international airports, which is always a positive. TSA usually moves quickly, with Waite times of 3 to 4 minutes being common with global entry/pre-check, and from the looks of things, probably 10 to 15 minutes at most nearly all the time, so long as the federal government is willing to pay its workers, on many visits over the past year. In spite of upgrades, it still has some work to be done to be a truly excellent airport, such as fixing monitors regarding bus, timing and arrivals to get out to the four parking lots (daily witches, indoor, express, which is outdoors, but generally faster, and a couple of dollars a day less, and long-term, which is a few dollars less, but with longer waits for buses and they generally less safe feeling a lot). Another grape is that iron probably 10 flights in the past year, not a single time has the baggage claim number been announced correctly when deboarding the plane, an issue I haven't encountered at other airports.

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.

As for my family and me; we'll remain civilized and stand in the line with the rest of the general population. It's too much going on in the world to purposely introduce chance into a well planned trip. No reason to debate with the TSA agent as I'm not trying to make the evening news. however it is annoying when your coworkers who are watching tell me how to bypass you.

Any who as soon as I walked through the walking detector I was greeted by a smiling TSA worker that adored my dogs. As many may not know they will wipe both your hands down so they can see what chemicals you may be carrying. So after that they put it in a machine and I have to wait. Once I was cleared, on to getting my stuff. All in all I received a great experience and appreciated all the smiles!!!

It's not the speed - that works pretty good. It's really just the amateur hour behavior and poor management that is on display. Such a random process with CLEAR. My bag was identified for check (is an open I did have a water bottle in my carry-on) but the agent at the end of the process was engaged in a conversation with a random airport employee right in front of me discussing football while my bag just sat. I stepped in uncomfortably close to indicate I wanted the process to move along, she looked at me and said someone will check your bag soon, then when she finished her conversation, of course, she checked my bag. I travel at least once a month or more so I see plenty of airport security points. The BWI check seems to create their own miscellaneous and trivial rules - More than other airports although each checkpoint has its own weird and ridiculous not - rules. My favorite, thus far, was the agent who "would not raise her voice". In the noisy cacophony surrounding the checkpoint she was speaking (I could see her lips moving) but I could not tell what she wanted me to do; she started gesturing somewhat randomly and I thought she possibly had a neurological tick. So when I was close enough to mention I could not hear her she responded with "I will not raise my voice you have to listen closer". This type of authoritarian rule mongering issued by a 30-year-old who looks like she slept in her uniform it's just part of the whole entertainment process of watching the BWI southwest TSA pre operation. Process works and it's generally fast but it is run by a bunch of half-wit morons who make up their own rules as they go and aren't interested in customer service in any way.

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.

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.
