Last Sunday, I had to check a bag and went into the premier/IK check in and was frustrated that it moved much slower than Mr. Chicken.
While I know the long lines at security move fast, they still do frustrate me.
I am a big fan of airport fast park--cheap prices and frequent parker program as well as instant (almost) pickup at both ends. All beats the IAD parking situation.
Fares are usually cheaper at BWI than other WAS airports. The only negative I am finding is the frequency of direct flights to BWI. With flight delays and cancellations we have been seeing recently, flights to/frolm Dulles offersmore options when things go awry.
Eh? IAD has close-in parking at a decent price ($15). I suppose that the long term private parking is better at BWI.
I admit that it has been a year (thankfully) since flying out of BWI but TSA wait was awful. Has it improved in the past 12 months??
p.s. It appears that people here are not aware of the new elite security lines at IAD. So guaranteed no wait security........ Of course if you live deep into Maryland then obviously use your local airport.
