I will be arriving from Europe and I believe international flights arrive at terminal A. I will need to purchase a SIM card for my iPhone (unlocked) so I can make calls in the U.S. Is there a tech store that sells SIM cards in the airport? Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can but I would strongly advise against buying from the vendor just outside of the International Arrivals area. The vendor misconfigured both my phone and the length of the agreement. He did not set the phone up for data so I fixed that while on the road. I'd asked for three weeks which is what he put on the receipt but he only configured it for two weeks. When I contacted him about it first I did not have the receipt handy and he accused me of seeking "free services". Once I forwarded him the receipt he said that I'd have service "shortly". One day later he promised me a refund and shortly afterwards stopped responding to emails. Three weeks and several emails later, no response and no refund.

Are there eating places in terminal F?
ZAP 01/15/2018
Yes, there is a full food court there.

Are you able to shop at the stores in the terminals without having sticker to fly?
ZAP 12/14/2017
You need a boarding pass to depart that day. The airport stores are all inside security.

I'll be arriving after midnight and will have to kill some time before being picked up. Is there anything open within the security area? Outside the security area?

Hi there,

Am I able to use Skycap services for checking luggage for an American Airlines transatlantic flight? I depart PHL for Shannon, Ireland on Aug 13 and would like to use the Skycap to avoid waiting in line inside the terminal.

Thank you!
ZAP 08/03/2017
Curbside check-in? You can use that for most international flights.

I am emerald one-world member.

Is there a fast track lane to go through security? I saw one in the terminal serving united and delta, but I never saw one in the terminals operated by american. I am European and I not always get the TSA precheck.
ZAP 03/03/2017
Yes, there should be. It is called "Priority" or "Priority AAccess" and OneWorld Emerald are allowed to use it.

I have a four hour layover in PHL, does the wifi allow streaming such as Netflix or Hulu?

I went to the Au Bon Pain near Gate C18 around 3 am and saw that the pastries were half off between 11pm - 4am which I thought was a great deal. When I spoke to the lady about toasting the bagel, she was incredibly rude and kept repeating that her area wasn't open yet so she couldn't help me. I was trying to gain more information and she kept saying "This part is not open" over and over again where I got fed up with her tone of voice and un-helpfulness. I walked out because that kind of service is intolerable.
