⚠️ BWI TRAVEL ALERT: ARRIVE EARLY

Travelers flying out of BWI are being urged to arrive at least 3 hours before departure due to major delays at security checkpoints.

The issue is being linked to ongoing federal funding problems affecting the TSA, with agents reportedly working without pay and staffing levels uncertain. As a result, security lines have grown significantly, especially with spring break travel picking up.

BWI also noted: • Some security checkpoints have been closed
• Wait times are longer than usual
• Live wait time updates are currently unavailable

There are also reports that federal immigration agents may be deployed to assist with congestion.

Bottom line: If you’re flying out of BWI, plan ahead and give yourself extra time to avoid missing your flight.
