Departing from Baltimore

Vacationers traveling from Baltimore to Orlando can fly out of Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI), located in Anne Arundel County, approximately 10 miles south of downtown Baltimore. AirTran Airways and Southwest Airlines offer nonstop flights from this airport to Orlando. BWI is generally considered one of the easiest airports to get to from the local downtown area, as it has a light rail station located in its main terminal. Travelers can transfer from the city's subway system to the light rail. The light rail runs every 30 minutes and takes the same amount of time to reach the airport.

Another rail option is to travel by Amtrak or the MARC Penn Line to the BWI Rail Station, located approximately a mile from the airport terminals. The airport offers a free shuttle that transports passengers from the station to the terminals. Travel time by train is about 10 minutes from Penn Station in the downtown area.

Other options to get to BWI include taxi service, airport shuttle and bus service. Long- and short-term parking is available at the airport if you would prefer to drive and leave your car. Parking in the daily garage costs $12 per day. An express parking lot is also available that offers free shuttle pick-up from your parking spot for $10 per day. The long-term parking lots charge $8 per day and offers frequent shuttle bus service to the terminals.

Arriving in Orlando

Enjoying the Orlando Area
