MCO–BWI Quick Facts
Frequently Asked Questions
Orlando to Baltimore: The Return Leg of the Mid-Atlantic Leisure Route
MCO-BWI is the northbound counterpart to one of the East Coast's busiest leisure corridors. Southwest runs 6 to 10 daily nonstops. Spirit and Frontier add low-cost competition. Block time is 2 hours 15 to 30 minutes northbound, slightly longer than the southbound trip due to headwinds. The passenger profile skews toward families returning from theme park vacations, but business travelers and convention attendees also contribute to load factors. Orlando's massive convention centre draws events year-round that generate traffic to the Washington-Baltimore metro area.
BWI as a Washington Gateway
BWI serves a dual role for MCO-BWI passengers: it is both the Baltimore airport and a Washington DC alternative. The MARC commuter train and Amtrak connect BWI to Washington Union Station in 30 to 55 minutes. This rail link makes BWI competitive with Reagan National (DCA) for passengers willing to add a train ride in exchange for more flight options and lower fares. BWI is Southwest's largest East Coast station by departures. The airport's parking is cheaper than DCA and IAD, and security wait times are typically shorter. For passengers originating in Annapolis, Columbia, or the Baltimore suburbs, BWI is the closest and most convenient option.
