BWI Meeting & Greeting Information
Welcome to the 2026 Honor Flight season at BWI!
Greeter sign-ups – there are two options for greeting an Honor Flight arrivals and departures at BWI.
- Greet outside security as the Veterans come through the TSA exit. This option exists for ALL arrivals and departures at BWI. This is also the only option for Allegiant and Breeze charter flights. Plenty of room to get loud. Sign-ups are not needed; however, if you do sign up, you will receive an email 48 hours in advance of the arrival with details on parking and meeting location.
- Alaska, American, Spirit and Southwest Airlines provide gate passes so you can greet an arriving Honor Flight at the gate. A REAL ID is required for all adults over the age of 18 to clear TSA. Everyone is required to have a gate pass, even minors and toddlers. After signing up, you will receive an email 48 hours in advance of the arrival with details on parking, meeting location and picking up your gate pass. NOTE: gate passes are only for Honor Flight trips, we do NOT process gate pass requests for other flights.
To sign up for either greeting option, scroll down to the either the “Greeting at the gate” or “Greet Outside Security” section, find the arrival you wish to greet, and click on the associated link to fill out your request.
