Gate Access Passes (GAP’s): The email account to request gate access passes (GAPs) is bwigap20@gmail.com. The deadline for requests is 36 hours prior to the first flight of the day. Please enter GAP Request(s) in the subject line and the date(s) and Airline Hub(s) you are requesting GAP’s for in the body of the email. Unless you are meeting the first flight of the day please let us know which flight you will be meeting. This helps us with volunteers being available for you to pick up your gate pass and dropping off your parking ticket for validation. If your plans change and you will not be at the airport, please advise through bwigap20@gmail.com account up to and including the day of the flight. GAP requests received after the 36-hour cut off will not be honored.
The requested format for submitting is:
First name, Middle initial, Last name, date of birth, (mm/dd/yy format) and gender. Please submit in this format:
John D. Smith, 03/16/99, male
Requests with multiple names should be sorted by last name. When you are submitting a request where several people have the same last name, please also sort by first name. For example:
Amy M. Smith, 04/21/99, female
John D. Smith, 03/16/99, male
Please check that your information is correct before submitting as those requests received that are not in the requested format will be returned with a request to reformat. If you are military, please note on your request so we can assign you to the correct listing. If you do not receive a response to your request within 24 hours, please email jjabner@verizon.net so she can respond.
Please park in the hourly garage and bring in your parking ticket for validation along with a government issued picture ID. Please note face coverings are optional at BWI airport. The parking validation deadline is 60 minutes before the flight arrival time. Everyone, babes in arms included, needs a GAP. A picture ID is not required for those under the age of 18 and children under 12 do not have to remove their shoes. Also, volunteers 75 and older can leave their shoes and a light jacket on. If the shoes set off the alarm, you will be asked to take them off and go through the screening again.
Pick up point for all GAPs and drop off of parking passes will be between doors 10 and 11 on the upper level just past the Jet Blue check-in desks. This gives us more space to congregate. This will also enable us to get parking passes validated more quickly. Pick up point for validated parking passes will be at the same location. If you do not find a yellow shirt at this location, please check with the D Information Desk located nearby the United check-in desk.

TLC (Their Last Chance): ALL those who served in uniform that were recently diagnosed with a terminal illness…. Lone Eagle: A Lone Eagle is a Veteran whose application has been in our national office for one year or more, yet they do not live close to one of our existing hub cities. Our definition of “close” is within a 120 mile radius of the airport used by the closest hub. When we discover a veteran who qualifies for this program, we will make every effort to fly them from a large commercial airport nearest their home. Honor Flight Network is responsible for arranging transportation for all Lone Eagle Veterans. Two (2) different days are scheduled for 2023 |
