is the "stopover" at dfw a connection or is it a thru flight with a stop....if it is a stop, it might cause problems w/ pax count and disruption of the flight....on a connection you will be a noshow...

i think the previous posters are thinking connection which would be easier to miss....sometimes, they tell thru pax to stay on the plane...you could get off though...

how are you going to get back to bwi?

good luck.

edit to add...having read your post, i believe you will have to go thru imm & customs at dfw....so you have to get off....also, if you haven't bought the tickets, you could arrange the stop over at dfw....

do you have the ticket from bwi-dfw already? that may be another consideration...
