Security was especially impressive -- we went straight through without removing shoes, belts, or pulling laptops out because the new scanners handle everything with much better accuracy. It made the whole process faster and less stressful. Inside the terminal, the biggest thing they still need is more service‑style restaurants. There are plenty of fast‑food spots, but not enough places where you can sit down and be served. We chose Silver Diner for that reason, and it ended up being a great choice. Good service, good food, and a calm break from the airport rush.

It's been a few years since I've flown in or out of BWI, so imagine my surprise and delight when I…read morearrived for an outbound flight and saw they have started to shine this place up! It's not there just yet, as most of the public and gate areas are still in need of updates and refreshes, but the areas they have improved, especially the restrooms in the terminals, is a step in the right direction for sure. I usually utilize BWI when I can get a good direct on Southwest, and my latest visit here was because just that...I was headed ti San Diego and there were no directs from DCA, so I traveled the 45 minutes to BWI to make it happen. Drop off here is pretty standard, as is security. Neither had delays or craziness, but I also flew in a Thursday morning. I gave myself more than enough time, which actually turned out to be more than needed. The airport is massive, but flows well from concourse to concourse. Moving sidewalks, wide terminal hallways and clear directional signage help. There are plenty of shopping and dining options throughout BWI, and each terminal/concourse is equipped with a few options, but if you don't like any of them, the other terminals are a few minutes away. I was flying out of B, but dined in C. Only issues, that I know they will solve eventually, is the gate areas. They need an update and some of them need an update in flow. Overall, BWI is a decent airport and checks all the boxes needed when traveling to or from the area!

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.

He did a great job. Then once we get into the next line to strip down....kidding...just the normal routine shoes, any pocket items, metals items, laptops..etc. Since I have my dogs I have to place everything on the belt and wait for it to go by and then go through the walking metal detector rather than the standing arms up your under arrest stance detector. 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.

Since I haven't taken many vacations this year, the hubby said he'd use his points to book me a first class ticket. Of course I said yes! Above is the price / point breakdown. 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

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.
