Main Terminal / Concourses at Baltimore Washington BWI Airport

The underground tunnel connects the hourly parking garage with the Main Terminal, and Skywalks A through E from level 6 of the garage connect to concouses (for Concourse C use Skywalk B or D, or the tunnel), and level 5 of the garage connects by Skywalk E to the international concourse E.
If you arrive at the Airport by Light Rail service you arrive at the Main Terminal's lower level, outside international arrivals.
