About BWI

Originally Friendship International Airport, BWI was dedicated by President Truman and began operating in 1950. With plans to upgrade and modernize in 1973, the name was changed to Baltimore-Washington International Airport to reflect its role as the region’s transportation hub. And in 1980, with the opening of BWI Rail Station, serviced by Amtrak, BWI became the nation’s first airport served by a dedicated intercity train station. With another renovation in 2005, came another name change – to Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. The new title honors Baltimore native Thurgood Marshall who became the first African-American Supreme Court Justice.

Things to do at BWI

Delayed flight? If you need something to do while you wait, you’re in luck. In addition to a wide variety of eateries and retail shops, BWI has a few unique attractions. You can walk the BWI Cardio Trail, which consists of two different one-mile loops in the terminal. Or if you’d rather relax, you can stop by the meditation room (between Concourses D and E) or the BWI Observation Gallery. The gallery features children’s play equipment, the Maryland Youth Art Gallery, aviation exhibits, and a restaurant/ cocktail lounge. Plus, the Thurgood Marshall Tribute, next to the Observation Gallery, offers a fascinating exhibit about the legendary civil rights activist.

Happy travels through BWI! And for a hassle-free, reliable ride there (or back), call Affinity Airport Sedan!

Exploring Rockville

Shuttle from Rockville MDRockville, Maryland is a vibrant, thriving city about 12 miles northwest of Washington, D.C. Being so close to the nation’s capital, Rockville is home to major corporate headquarters as well as bio-med and tech companies. But, the city is far away enough from the hustle and bustle of Washington to have a hometown feel that keeps many visitors coming back.

When your travel plans bring you to Rockville, call Affinity Airport Sedan. Our professional car service can get you from the airport to wherever you need to be. We’re happy to accommodate your transportation needs!

Rockville’s Roots

Rockville is located on a plateau region and is crossed by three different creeks – Rock Creek, Cabin John Creek, and Watts Branch. These factors made it an ideal resting place for nomadic Native Americans over ten thousand years ago and a home to agricultural communities through the 1600s. This developing region received its first land patents in 1717 and officially became the city of Rockville in 1803. It was incorporated by Maryland in 1860.

When visiting the city today, make sure to stop by the corner of Vinson Street and Maryland Avenue. A stone marker placed at that corner in 1803 is inscribed with letters “BR” signifying the “Beginning of Rockville.”

Rockville Today

Today, Rockville is Maryland’s third-largest city and the seat of government for Montgomery County. It’s also at the center of the Interstate 270 Technology Corridor, home to several software and biotech companies and federal government buildings.

But Rockville’s not all business. The city offers several upscale shopping options and even opened a new town square in 2007. The Rockville Town Center is a pedestrian-friendly area complete with stores, restaurants, condos, and the Rockville Library. This is the perfect meeting place and home to public events like farmers markets, concerts, and town festivals.

Whether you’re in town to work or play, you’re sure to enjoy Rockville. And for your transportation needs – whether you are looking for a ride to an important meeting or from a successful shopping trip – you can always rely on Affinity Airport Sedan.
