Why is it that i always have connecting flights

Why is it that i always have connecting flights?
I live in Baltimore and always fly out of BWI and i never am able to book a direct flight it seems like. I always have a connection making it longer and more expensive...what can i do to get more non stop flights?

Fly out from bigger airports. I always have to connect as well. It's par for the course for me, because I don't live near one of the major airports like O'hare.

fly on jetblue airways non stop to every destination but i dont no if they fly out of baltimore. it also depends on were your going

where are you going ? you dont say its just possible you are going between some cities that doest have much demand for a direct or nonstop stop service or the airline you are using has a hub someone in between (Like American) however there are direct or nonstop[ flight from major cities (like Phoenix to Baltimore etc I used to like nonstops but i found i like connections sometimes yes it makes the trip a big longer but it also gives you a chance to strech your legs as well..

If you fly to places that are hubs (PHL, JFK, ATL. ATL, ORD, CLT, PIT, DFW, DTW, MSP, etc.) you will not have to make connections. To other places, you will. That is the nature of flying out of a non-hub airport.

It really depends on where you fly to as well. If you fly to Chicago, there are non stop flights. Southwest has a lot of flights out of BWI and depending on where you are going, you may have to make a connection somewhere. If you want more non stop flights, you may have to go to Philadelphia or Washington Dulles.
