How does BWI compare to other DC-area airports?

When is the best time to fly from Baltimore?

Late spring (May-June) and early autumn (September-October) offer the most pleasant conditions. Winter storms peak December through February. Summer brings afternoon thunderstorms but rarely major delays. BWI is generally reliable year-round by East Coast standards.

Is turbulence at Baltimore dangerous?

No. Modern aircraft are designed to withstand forces far stronger than turbulence. While bumps can feel uncomfortable, they do not pose a safety risk. Pilots actively avoid rough air whenever possible. Learn more about turbulence

Best seats to reduce turbulence when flying from Baltimore?

Seats near the wings feel the least movement because they are closest to the aircraft's center of gravity. Seats at the back of the aircraft feel turbulence more strongly. Learn more about seat selection
