BWI Gate Connections DISCUSSION

KB 01/18/2019
I will be arriving BWI on an international flight, then I have a connecting domestic flight. Upon arrival, after going through Customs & Immigration, will I be dumped outside the security area and have to go back through TSA to get to my domestic flight, or is there a way to stay in the security area. I will have a carry-on only.

All flights requiring immigration clearance use Concourse E. I'm not sure if you can remain inside the TSA perimeter if your connecting flight is on Concourse D or E. If your connecting flight is on Concourses A, B, or C then you definitely will have to exit security and re-enter. At this time, Concourses A, B, and C are connected and Concourses D and E are connected but there is no connection inside the TSA protected area between the two groups of gates. The airport is in one building so moving from one concourse to another on the public side of the airport is pretty simple.


To make life easier when determining the gate for your connecting flight:

Concourses A, B, and C: Southwest, American, and Contour
Concourses D and E: All other airlines

Is 30 min enough time to go that fat? Carrying on only
A swa flight attendant said that I should be fine but I wanted to ask here too. Thanks!

how long will it take to walk from GATE A6 to GATEB6 at the Baltimore airport

It all depends on how fast you walk as you can stay inside the TSA perimeter to travel between gates. Here is a link to the terminal map from BWI's website:

arriving Baltimore airport October 9th from Rochester NY at 6:35 pm on Southwest not much time to connect with southwest flight to Milwaukee are the gates fairly close for Southwest change of planes?
NANCY 06/28/2018
I am flying Southwest from Columbus, Ohio to Baltimore/Washington, arriving at 2:00. I have to fly out on Southwest to Boston at 3:05. Any ideas on which concourses I will be traveling from and to? Also, do you think I'll have time to travel the distance? Also, would I be better off checking my bag all the way thru from Columbus to Boston so I don't have to mess with them in Baltimore?

Hi - this Tuesday I will arrive at BWI at about 3 pm. I will need to get to British Airways terminal for another flight. I am fine with walking it. How far will that be? Thank you!

I have a lay over at BWI flying Southwest. Does Southwest only use Concourses A&B. Will you have to go through security going from A to B
Chris 04/29/2018
I'm flying from terminal C. Is there any connection between terminals C and D after going through security? I'm a priority pass member and the priority pass lounge is located in the terminal D. Thank you.
ZAP 04/30/2018
No, they are not connected inside security.
Patrick 06/16/2018
Just became a Priority Pass Member and never used it before. I would assume they won't let me through security to get to concourse D if I'm leaving on a SW flight in concourse B correct?
km 04/27/2018
Can you please tell me the walk time and distance between B14 and C14? We have a one hour layover.
ZAP 04/27/2018
Just follow the signs to C and then to C14. There is a walkway connecting B and C inside security.
mj 04/26/2018
do you go thru security going from d to a with no checked bags ,just carry on ,flying in on southern and leaving on south west
ZAP 04/26/2018
Yes, you have to go through security again.
