I live in Baltimore, and try some of the discount sites. British Airways is the cheapest way to go. They offer one flight a day from Heathrow to Baltimore. Go to www.cheapoair.com.

Try Icelandair from Baltimore to Glasgow, via Iceland. You can also try Continental Airlines and US Airways who fly direct from the USA to Glasgow. BTW, dont fly to Edinburgh. It will be much cheaper for you to fly to Glasgow International (GLA) as its a major airport, more flights, more seats = cheaper flights. http://flyglasgow.net/

To get the cheapest flights, check out BookMe dot com. You can compare ALL the reputable travel sites from one location, and save tons of money. Good luck!

How often do airlines add new flights
How often do airlines add new flights?
There is only one non-stop flight available for Baltimore to Las Vegas during the week I am looking for. If I do not book it now, and the flight fills up, do airlines typically add new flights? Do you know how often?

i believe they add new flight just after midnight from ppl who have canceled or stuff like that and also check on weekends and early in the mornings when there arent so many ppl lookin for fights late nite flights are also cheaper b/c there are less ppl flying then
2 :
Very rare. Airlines bid for 'slots' as busy airports can only take so many flights per day. So they have to arrange in advance with the aviation authorities to have extra flights. Especially from busy Baltimore where the flight departure times are tight. What MAY happen more commonly is that if they get a lot of bookings they upgrade the SIZE of the aircraft. So if the plane was a 737 holding 120 passengers they may change it to a 767 holding 220. Book early and get to the airport early.

Go to the train station at the airport. Take the MARC train to Union Station in Washington. As to how to get to where you're going, Massachusetts Ave. NW is a pretty long street covering a number of miles. Go to www.wmata.com. Enter Union Station as your starting point. Enter the address for your ending point. The website will give you the choice of rail and bus to get you to your destination.
2 :
Just enter the information in the below URL and you can go to and from the Airport to your actual appointment. The express bus from the Airport to Greenbelt has gone up to $6.00. But the website will give you the entire cost. You might want to compare it with MARC. This is my help from Washington, D.C. United States of America. Please pick a "Best Answer", even if it is not mine. That way we can tell if we really do help people.

Take the bus. The B30. I took it myself this past March. Have some $1 bills ready. The bus will take you along the Baltimore-Washington Expressway into Greenbelt Station. Hop the Metro into DC and ask about Massachusetts Avenue. You're also good for all the area attractions. One thing about the Metro is that its good to read and maps while on the train, because the stations are so dark that you couldn't find a coin if it dropped in front of you. (DC Metro stations are designed that way. They look like a concert hall or theater.) Follow this link: http://www.bwiairport.com/en/travel/ground-transportation/trans/mta

MARC or Amtrak to Union Station. There's a shuttle bus that runs between the airport and train station. All you have to do is take the shuttle and take a train. If taking MARC, you'll want to check their schedule as they don't run in all directions all the time (their schedule can be pretty limited) and they also don't run on weekends. If taking Amtrak, you may wish to buy a ticket in advance. Amtrak's website: http://www.amtrak.com MARC's website: http://mta.maryland.gov/services/marc/?PHPSESSID=de19a79e532ea8b09f46fdf71867fb77 Union Station is on Massachusetts Avenue. Technically it's at 50 Massachusetts Avenue NE. You may be able to walk to your destination or it may be too far. Use Google Maps to get directions. You can also either take the bus, metro, taxi, or walk. Metro's website (metro and bus): http://www.wmata.com

Your first choice should be the Marc train. It will take you to union station which on Mass Ave. The shuttle from the airport will take you to the train station where you can catch the marc train. If you are coming during the weekend the Marc does not run so your best option would be the B30 bus to greenbelt. From there hop on the metro. Mass ave is very long and not walkable. Check metro's website to see exactly where you need to go.

TSA Passenger ID Check at BWI Airport
TSA Passenger ID Check at BWI Airport?
It is easy to go to an airline site and find out what passenger ID is accepted by the airline. However, BWI passenger ID checks are now done by TSA, and I cannot find a URL that lists everything they will and will not accept. My Iraqi friend's passport series has been cancelled, and he has not yet been able to get a new passport from Baghdad. Because of this, he also does not have a US driver's licence. He has an Iraqi drivers's license and a US college ID, along with his old I-20 and student visa (in the old passport). He has an application for asylum and a credit card. What else will the TSA folks view as credible ID so he can accompany my on a flight between Baltimore and Boise?

Are any of those photo IDs? That's what he needs. They match the picture with the info on the card and on his ticket.

BWI isnt the only place where ID checks are done by TSA. TSA does ID checks at every airport in the US. Credit card and asylum application will not work. Your friend should bring his college ID, student visa and his drivers license.
