Booked flights out of Washington?

I booked flights out of Washington via Delta but did not really pay attention and it is actually from Washington Baltimore. (I was under the impression it was from Dullus). My own mistake and not really a problem but is it easy to get to Baltimore Airport with Public transport?

I don't where you'll be coming from, but the MARC train runs from Washington Union Station directly to a stop at BWI airport. Then there's a shuttle every six minutes from the train station to the airport terminals.

You can get to BWI via the MARC train, which runs all the way from Washington's Union Station on MARC's Penn Line, or between Baltimore Penn Station and BWI on the BWI Line. MARC trains from Washington are designed for commuters and don't run very frequently outside peak commuting times, so check the weekday and weekend schedules to make sure this is a viable option for you. You can also get from Washington Union Station to Baltimore Penn Station via Amtrak--these will be more expensive, but also more available at off-peak times. There is also an express bus service, B30, to BWI from Washington's Greenbelt Metro station--check WMATA's website for schedules.

In my opinion BWI is vastly easier to get to via transit than IAD, so I'd count yourself lucky and not beat yourself up over your "mistake."

When did you book the flights? If yesterday or today, they're still eligible for risk-free cancellation, for what it's worth.

Delta bucket E fare so no cancellation. Thanks for the tip!

I was referring to the 24-hour risk-free cancellation, which E fares are eligible for also. But by now it's probably too late

Note that, due to a recent change, the Metrobus B30 from Greenbelt now runs only hourly and only on weekdays.
