$8–$10 foot‑longs make this BWI Subway the budget play
This Subway sits inside the main Terminal at BWI and usually undercuts the sit‑down spots by half, according to multiple Google reviews. Expect basic build‑your‑own sandwiches, not a full street‑location lineup, with fewer breads and toppings than you might see at a suburban strip‑mall Subway. Price tier is firmly $, which matters when a burger and fries elsewhere in the building can hit $18.
Lines here often stretch 10–15 minutes during the noon rush, and several reviewers call out slow service with only one sandwich maker on duty. Staff sometimes pre‑build popular combos, like turkey or Italian subs, to move things along during those peak windows. The rating hovers around 2 stars, so set expectations to “basic airport sustenance,” not a leisurely lunch.
Menu is standard: 6‑inch and foot‑long subs, a few salads, chips, and fountain drinks. A foot‑long usually lands around $9–$11, chips about $2, and a drink roughly $3, still cheaper than most other Terminal counters. Regulars stick to simple orders like a plain turkey with cheese or a classic Italian B.M.T. to cut down on back‑and‑forth and keep the line from stalling.
Common complaints focus on limp lettuce and tomatoes when traffic is slow, plus the occasional bread that tastes a few hours past its best. If the line is short, ask what was sliced or baked in the last hour. When it’s busy, turnover helps freshness but you may only see one staffer juggling orders, payments, and prep.
Pro tip: buy one foot‑long, have it cut in half, eat one 6‑inch at the gate, and wrap the other for in‑flight; that move drops your in‑airport lunch and airborne snack to about $5–$6 per “meal.”
