Frequently Asked Questions
Can I access Concourse D lounges from other concourses?
Yes. All concourses at BWI are connected airside after security. You can walk from any gate to Concourse D without re-clearing security. The walk from the farthest gates on Concourse A takes about 12 to 15 minutes.
Which credit cards give lounge access at BWI?
The Chase Sapphire Reserve and Amex Platinum both include Priority Pass, which gets you into The Club BWI. The Chase United Club Infinite card provides United Club access. There are no Delta or American lounges at BWI.
Is BWI a good alternative to DCA or IAD for lounge access?
It depends on your airline. BWI has fewer lounge options than Dulles but the two it has are rarely overcrowded. If you fly Southwest primarily, The Club BWI via Priority Pass is your only lounge option in the DC metro area since Southwest does not operate from DCA.
