Arrival Information

Baltimore is most conveniently served by one primary airport, with two additional Washington-area options.

Loyola University Maryland identifies Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) as the closest airport to campus and recommends it as the preferred arrival airport. 

Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI)

• Distance/Time: BWI is the closest airport for access to Loyola University Maryland (4501 N. Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21210). By car, it is typically the quickest airport option.
• Taxi/Rideshare: Taxi stands are located on the Arrivals/Lower Level terminal roadway, just outside baggage claim, and are most easily accessed from Doors 5 and 13. Uber, Lyft, and taxis are available for ground transportation to campus.
• Public Transportation: From BWI, travelers can use MDOT MTA Light Rail. Loyola notes that the Cold Spring Lane Light Rail stop serves BWI Airport, and from there, travelers can take the Loyola Ridley shuttle, the #33 bus, or walk about a mile to campus. Riders should pre-purchase a ticket at the platform before boarding.

Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA)

• Distance/Time: Reagan National is an additional airport option, but note that it is roughly 1 hour from Baltimore and may involve expensive or time-consuming travel depending on traffic conditions. 
  Taxi/Rideshare: Taxi and rideshare services are available from the airport’s designated ground transportation areas.
• Public Transportation: Reagan has a Metrorail station connected directly to Terminal 2. A practical public-transit route is to take Metro into Washington, travel to Union Station, then continue to Baltimore Penn Station by MARC or Amtrak, followed by a taxi or rideshare to Loyola’s campus. WMATA notes that airport Metrorail fares vary by time and distance, generally ranging from $2.25 to $6.75.

Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD)

• Distance/Time: Dulles is another possible airport option, but it is roughly 1 hour from Baltimore and may be more difficult and time-consuming than BWI. 
• Taxi/Rideshare: Taxi, rideshare, and other ground transportation options are available from Dulles. 
• Public Transportation: Dulles is connected to Washington Metrorail via the Silver Line. The walk from the terminal to Metro is about 600 feet / 5 minutes. From there, travelers can take Metro toward Washington, connect to Union Station, continue to Baltimore Penn Station by MARC or Amtrak, and then take a taxi or rideshare to Loyola. Dulles notes Metro fares generally range from $2.25 to $6.75, depending on time and distance.
