Re: [Chat] gettting from CV to National airport??
Thank you so much, Joss, Greg, and all of you who reponded to my airport question. Brad, you suggested I forego the hassle and just fly out of BWI, but flights to Knoxville are about $350 more from BWI. So I think in this case it's worth the hassle.

We are flying to see family in SC and DCA was more than 50 percent cheaper than BWI (unfortunately Southwest does not service the area my folks live). If u drive you can book cheap parking via Global Airport Parking and park at the Marriott in Crystal City and use their shuttle to DCA.

Re: [Chat] gettting from CV to National airport??
You are correct in that a fair number of non-affiliates do seem to use the shuttle. And I myself have never needed to produce my ID either. However, I would rather not encourage the free-loading behaviour that we so often see around us. On 7/1/11, chad abrams wrote: > I am a Hopkins employee.

Re: [Chat] gettting from CV to National airport??
I am a Hopkins employee. Never have I had to show (or been asked to show) my Hopkins ID to get on. Starting July 1 Hopkins has engaged a new shuttle-service-company greatly expanding the number of buses on the route. I know (personally) of several who live further north (get on at the first stop) NOT Hopkins employees who have used the shuttle for years to commute down to Penn Station or other stops to commute to/from work daily. Whether or not this is as it 'should-be' may be open to debate, but the impression I get is that there are a fair number of non-Hopkins people on the bus.

Re: [Chat] gettting from CV to National airport??
the cheapest i have found to park at BWI is 7.65 per day (econopark express).. i have to drive to the airport and then allow shuttle time to and from the airport at both ends.. pretty good w/ this service as they take you directly from/to your car.. but.. you've got 15 minutes at least at either end at the airport (not including transportation time to/from the airport) You can however get to BWI for $1.65 by hopping on a Hopkins shuttle to Penn and then taking the light rail. You get on at Penn and take it 1 stop to Mt Royal and switch trains. After you are on the 2nd light rail its about a 45 min ride to the terminal. OR from Penn you can take MARC and then a shuttle from the train station to the terminal. You can also get to either national or dulles via public transportation. Hopkins shuttle to Penn/MARC and then to National/METRO (travel time is about 2 hours). This takes you directly to the terminal. MARC is 7 bucks and metro is $3.65 or so (non-rush)... If you want to get to Dulles take METRO to Arlington and from there their is a 3 dollar non-stop shuttle (public transit or METRO-bus) right to the terminal. So, you can get to Dulles for about $15 (and not have to deal w/ traffic either!) >From my perspective, as important to me as time in getting to the airport is AVOIDING connecting flights. In my searches for travel now I include dulles, national, bwi and even consider philadelphia and newark. I'd much rather spend the time on the ground here, and near public transportation that can get me home rather than spending the time sitting in some airport HUB (chicago, atlanta, charlotte) and running the risk of missing the connection and not getting home at all. I've heard too many travel horror stories/experienced my own.

Re: [Chat] gettting from CV to National airport??
By the time you buy your MARC ticket and Metro farecard, not to mentiuon the extra time, you would probably do just as well leaving from BWI. Light rail goes there, too! Time is worth money, as well.
