"The Club BWI is the perfect solution to the airport's rapid increase in passenger traffic, offering travelers respite from busy terminals and a place to unwind before a long flight."

The Club BWI is located in Concourse D near gate 10, and operates daily from 5:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Travelers visiting The Club BWI receive complimentary premium alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, snacks, Wi-Fi, and an array of reading materials. The 2200 sqft lounge provides seating for 50 and is divided into various zones to accommodate the diverse needs of the modern traveler. Guests looking for a quiet place to rest will love the variety of seating options in the Relaxing Zone, while business travelers can catch up on emails at the Productivity Zone's laptop bar. The Club BWI Zones include:

• Relaxing Zone with comfortable seating and easy access power outlets
• Resting Zone with ability to put your feet up and take a quick break before your flight
• Productivity Zone where you can stay connected with personal or business needs
• Replenish Zone with complimentary food and beverage options

The Club BWI also features photography from local photographer and state judge, W.M. Dunn. Dunn runs the non-profit, BeMore, which provides non-profits with affordable photography services to help strengthen the impact of their missions.
