[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BWI is a great airport.[/quote]
Best thing about BWI is how crazy cheap long-term parking is. You can park for 2 weeks and still save money over an Uber or taxi. [/quote]
+1  I'm the "hate IAD" poster.  I much prefer BWI but since it's small, and not a hub, the destinations aren't that varied.  [b]But, I much prefer flying out of BWI to LHR than IAD.  Better flight times, too.[/b][/quote]

Okay. It's fine if you want to style yourself as a "BWI booster," but please. Get real. BWI has one daily flight offered by BA four times a week that is heavily subsidized by the State of Maryland. IAD has multiple flights each day offered by BA, United, and Virgin Atlantic. To suggest that BWI has better flight times is complete BS.[/quote]
DP. What does your point have to do with PPs? Does a subsidy somehow make it less convenient? Why are you so angry at BWI?[/quote]

NP. What a strange response. Who's angry? I happen to agree with the PP's point, which was clearly saying that it's ridiculous to suggest that BWI is somehow competitive or even preferable to Dulles when it comes to international service.

Both airports serve their purpose in the region.[/quote]

If you live closer to BWI than Dulles, it’s preferable for flying international.  Yes, Dulles has more flights bit Bwi has easier parking, quick access to terminals and the whole thing is recently renovated with decent places to get something to eat.  Perhaps we should just campaign for more international flights to bwi.[/quote]
