Arriving 10AM Friday, Departing 4PM on a Monday.

- Easier access to rental cars?
- shorter Baggage arrival time?
- Shorter security lines when departing?
- Better u/g potential?
- Better NW World club?
- Anything else worth considering. (I've never been to DC)

Thanks.

The way to think about this is to think about where you have to be in the DC area, then chose which airport you use.

When we lived there, we preferred BWI..... but that was before WN came in there and in fact the DC9's were operated by Republic.
