Getting to the city
BWI serves Washington from outside the city, so treat the transfer as part of the trip rather than an afterthought. Rail, bus, taxi and rideshare all run the corridor between the airport and the city; which one suits you depends on your luggage, your arrival hour and how far into Washington you are staying. Late-night landings are the ones to plan around — check that a connection still runs before you commit to a flight that touches down after dark. On weekday mornings, leave extra room for traffic.
