Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, commonly known as BWI Airport, is approximately 45 minutes from the DC area. Southwest Airlines has a terminal at BWI and offers many flights at lower prices than some of its competitors. The MARC and Amtrak train station is nearby offering train service to Union Station in Washington, DC.  Again, these public transport options mean that a rental car is probably not necessary.
