According to Google Maps, the Baltimore Washington International Airport is about an hour from the embassy by car. The BWI airport website has a list of various transportation options http://www.bwiairport.com/en/travel/ground-transportation. Taking a shuttle is usually a pretty cheap option.
2 :
The cheapest way to get from BWI airport to D.C. is on the MARC train. Take the shuttle bus from the airport to the train station, it's free. Get on the Penn Line to Union Station. The train to D.C. is $6. You can get a taxi from Union Station to the embassy. That should cost less than $25, depending on baggage and tip. It should take less than 2 hours total including wait time for buses, trains and taxi.

The most efficient way to travel from BWI to Washington, DC, is by train. Amtrak is having a special right now and prices range between $6 and $11 each way. MARC train is another option, but doesn't make the trip on the weekends on in the evenings. It is strictly a commuter train. The trip from BWI to D.C. takes about 40 minutes, give or take. The train goes to Union Station in Washington. From there you can catch a bus or take a cab to the Russian Embassy. It is a gorgeous building, by the way. You'll enjoy your visit, I'm sure.

Flying from Baltimore to Germany (US Army)?
Okay, my brother is flying from Baltimore to Germany (Frankfort) in the next day, but he lost his tickets. He is in the Army and I was wondering if anybody knew how to 1) find his flight path 2) do you know the typical route to Germany for the Army. He does not know the airline. Any ideas or suggestions

I live in Charlotte, NC and here we have USAir that flies to Frankfort and Lufthansa flies nonstop to Munich, Germany. I'd check these two airline websites and see if they fly out of Baltimore as well.
2 :
If it's a nonstop flight, then it's most likely World Airways which operate the flights for US military between BWI and Germany. Otherwise, there aren't any nonstop flights operating out of BWI to Germany. If World rings a bell, then have him phone them to enquire. It might only be an e-ticket, in which case paper tickets aren't necessary. He should take anything sent to him--print emails of the itinerary, etc.--expecially anything that gives the itinerary and then says "confirmed" for that flight segment.

12 year old flying alone

12 year old flying alone!?!?!?
Ok well, in July I'm flying to Baltimore (direct flight) from New Orleans. I'm kinda scared because this is the first time I'm flying alone but I have flown with my parents before, just not to Baltimore. But I have my I.D. and birth certificate and all that crap but will they make me sit in a certain area and watch me the whole time. And do they have a thing where I can plug my charger in for my Laptop and phone and that kinda stuff. & if it helps to know: I'm flying with Southwest to the BWI airport from the Louis Armstrong Airport in New Orleans and my mom is getting a pass where she can walk me into/ through the gate. & I really am kinda scared and worried. Please help me.

dont talk to older men because they can rape you , stay near a safe adult

You'll be fine. The flight attendants are there to help you with anything you need. I have seen them helping with minors traveling alone before. They don't act like mean school teachers. They are friendly and helpful. Some airlines have special connections for charging laptops, but they are usually only available in first class. I hope this helps. Enjoy your flight. Safe travels.
3 :
No you can't plug in your laptop or phone on the plane. you could plug it in at the airport, plus you won't be using your phone on the plane unless it's in airplane mode so no calling or texting your BFFs. Since you've been to on flights before there's nothing to worry about because nothing happens on the flight.
4 :
The other answers are correct and you don't need to be scared. Once you are through security go to the gate for your flight. Look around for electrical outlets to which you can safely run your power supply cord. There are always outlets because the cleaning staff needs them for machines like vacuum cleaners, but they may be hard to find/they may fit non-sandard plugs. Some airports de-activate the outlets except when the cleaners are actually using them. Ask a Southwest or airport employee for advice if you have probelms finding a good power outlet. Southwest Airlines uses concourses A and B at Baltimore's airport. There are many cafes/restaurants and you may be able to charge you electronics at one of them (buy something to drink as they may only let paying customers sit in the cafe/restaurant). http://www.bwiairport.com/en/shops/shop-dine Southwest does not appear to offer power ports on any of their aircraft, but the flight from BWI to MSY is only about 3 hours. http://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Southwest_Airlines/information.php

sure no problem

The people looking at baggage are looking for weapons, explosives, other items that might be hazardous to the plane and passengers. Cigarettes are not in any of those categories. No one will care.
3 :
In checked luggage they have no idea and can care less how old the person is that owns it. Their looking for bombs and weapons, not cigarettes. Trust me on this one. I travel a lot. Your only problem might be for TSA stealing your cigs. I have had a few things stolen out of my checked luggage, not because it was a threat but because TSA are not the most trustworthy people out there. I had my laptop stolen from my suitcase. You will have o problem.
