Airport Maps & Terminal Guide
The passenger terminal complex at Philadelphia Airport consists of seven passenger terminals, arranged from East to West: A-West, Terminal A-East, Terminal B & C, Terminal D, Terminal E & Terminal F - connected in their secure areas, which offer access to corresponding garages. Terminals B & C and D & E are connected in both secure & unsecured areas, while terminal F is only connected at its secure areas (post-security) to the other terminals.
Food, Shops & Amenities
Restaurants, bars, and stores are dispersed throughout the terminals. Consult the Philadelphia airport map to get oriented. The B/C connector with the Philadelphia Marketplace houses 30 retail shops & a large food court, and connects to the post-security area of D.
Getting Around the Airport
A terminal E-F secure connector provides a link between terminals E & F, and to all other terminals without the need to re-enter Philadelphia airport terminal security checkpoints. The transfer between Philadelphia airport E & F terminals involves a 15-minute walk. Also free large shuttle buses, operated by American Airlines, make the following connections at the secure side between terminals A-East and F, and C & F. The A-East shuttle stop is near gate A1, terminal C shuttle stop is at gate C16 (near Au Bon Pain), and terminal F shuttle stop is at Gate F-14.
If connecting from an international flight to a regional one, it is advisable to budget in an extra 30 minutes! Access to the terminals from the Philadelphia airport parking facilities is easy and quick. Rental car access is outside each Philadelphia airport terminal. Terminal A-West is the only terminal with US Immigration & Customs. Unless you have gone through US customs clearance by participating airports, you need to go through passport check, retrieve checked bags, go through customs clearance and - if transferring to another flight - re-check-in bag (the tag should indicate layover and final destination Airport Codes). Allow at least 35-45 minutes to connect to the terminal.
