[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to live closer to Dulles and so reflexively book flights from there, but I just realized I'm now equidistant from Dulles & BWI.

I haven't traveled out of BWI lately.  Any frequently travelers have thoughts about one of these airports over another?[/quote]

Only use [b]3rd party or hourly parking at BWI.[/b] Security for the first flights out is typically a joke.   Food options generally suck.  [/quote]
I don't know if the "security" in your next sentence refers to parking or something else, but I just left my car for 3 weeks at the long term economy lot A at BWI.
When I left I noticed an SVU with deflated tires and rusted wheel rim parked in the disabled spot at 16A.  It looked like it hadn't been moved for at least 6 months.
When I returned, the car was still there.  So I agree, their long term parking lot security is a bit suspect if they don't even deal with cars abandoned in disabled spots.

Beyond that, some smaller airlines use BWI as a cheaper airport, in which case the ground crew doesn't work for the airline, which causes issues like 2hour delays and finger pointing upon departure.

But arriving from an international flight was a breeze there compared to IAD. I don't think I've ever made it through immigration this fast.[/quote]

I am not the quoted PP, but I read that as "TSA Security" not "parking lot security."

Hopefully PP will come back and clarify.[/quote]
