By Jeff Clabaugh

WASHINGTON — Airport Lounge Development Inc., a Dallas company that builds out airport lounges that are not airline or membership specific, has opened The Club BWI, at BWI Marshall Airport.

A day pass to the club costs $40.

The lounge also includes internet and Wi-Fi access, newspapers, magazines, flight information display screens, workstations, printing, faxing and telephones.

The Club BWI is in concourse D near gate 10 and is open from 5 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.

The club’s opening comes a couple of months after ROAM Fitness opened a full-service gym past security between BWI Marshall’s D and E terminals. For $25, it includes showers and a day pass to ROAM Fitness.

ROAM Fitness plans future airport locations in Charlotte, Atlanta and Pittsburgh.

The Club BWI is Airport Lounge Development’s 16th airport lounge. Others are at airports in Cincinnati, Dallas, Las Vegas, San Jose, Atlanta, Phoenix, Seattle, Orlando, Boston and London’s Heathrow Airport.
