Philadelphia PHL Airport Overview
Philadelphia International Airport PHL ranks very high among large U.S. airports in customer satisfaction, and it was recently named 'Airport with Best Concession Management Team'; It is located about seven miles from downtown Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and is accessible via Interstates Hwys. 95 (Delaware Expwy) & I-76, PA 291 & 611, and from PA & NJ Turnpikes. The Airport, bordering to the south on the Delaware River, is served by the Airport High-Speed Rail Line stopping at Eastwick Station, University City, 38th Street Station, Penn Center Suburban Station and Market East Station.
With four runways and an estimated 31 million passengers a year, Philadelphia International Airport is a major international and domestic hub for US Airways, and is served by major U.S. airlines offering domestic and international nonstop and connecting flights to desinations around the world.
On-Airport Hotels at PHL Airport: The Airport Marriott, next to Parking Garage B (215-492-9000), and the Aloft Hotel on Island Avenue (267-298-1700).
The current passenger terminal complex at Philadelphia International Airport includes six Terminals - A-West, A-East, B, C, D & F - and offers access to corresponding garages. Note that distances between the terminals can be long, even with courtesy shuttles running between Terminals - therefore budget in an extra 30 minutes if you need to connect from an international flight to a regional one. However, as all but Terminal F are connected at post-security areas, transfer passengers do not need to re-enter security checks. (For detailed terminal information click on 'Terminal Maps'.)
Parking options at Philadelphia International include a cell phone lot, Garages A West & A East, Garages B through F and the Economy Parking lot with free shuttle services. (For detailed parking information, click on 'Airport Parking'.)
Rental car counters are located in the baggage claim areas of each terminal (Avis, Budget,, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, National). For special hand-controlled vehicles, prior notice of 72 hours in advance is necessary.
To get from Philadelphia Airport to your destination, you have a choice of renting a car, taking a taxi or limo, using available shuttle services (door-to-door and hotel shuttles), or the high-speed SEPTA rail which connects the Airport to the City and makes stops at the following stations: East Wick, 38th Street, Penn Center Suburban, Market East. SEPTA buses also offer service to Downtown Philadelphia, with stops along the way. For more transportation information call the hotline at 215-937-6958.
Future Airport Developments: While Philadelphia Airport has made countless improvements in recent years to its infrastructure, to the runways, parking lot and terminals - starting in 2011, it will now embark on a 13-year, $5.2 billion project that will extend two of the runways, add a new runway, and add two new passenger terminals - the first terminal to occupy the site of present terminals A through F - and the second one will be right across from it.
