BWI has joined a select list of airports approved to provide charter flights to Cuba.
"Baltimore-Washington Thurgood Marshall International Airport, Dallas/Fort Worth, New Orleans, Pittsburgh and San Juan all announced Wednesday they had been cleared by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Travel to the island, which is just 90 miles from the southern coast of Florida, has been barred since shortly after Fidel Castro came to power. However, President Obama has eased travel restrictions to Cuba, allowing passengers with close relatives on the island or traveling for educational or religious purposes to go."
