Philadelphia International Airport

Philadelphia International Airport is about 7 miles (11 km) southwest of Center City, beside I-95 on the Delaware River. The SEPTA Airport Line train reaches Center City in about 25 minutes, and taxis, ride apps and pre-booked cars take you door to door, with the drive depending on traffic on I-95.

PHL has seven terminals, A-West, A-East, B, C, D, E and F, joined in one line. You can walk between them inside security, and a free shuttle bus links Terminal F with Terminals A, B and C. Terminal A-West handles international arrivals, and Terminal F serves American Eagle regional flights.

American Airlines uses several terminals at Philadelphia. Its long-haul flights use Terminals A-West and A-East, domestic mainline flights mostly use Terminals B and C, and American Eagle regional flights use Terminal F. Check your boarding pass or the American app for your gate before you fly.

International flights arrive at Terminal A-West, where you clear US passport control and customs. Afterward you reach the International Arrivals Hall on Level 3, where friends and family wait. For taxis, ride apps and pre-booked cars, take the elevator down and follow the signs to the A-East baggage claim and the Commercial Roadway.

Yes. The SEPTA Airport Line, a Regional Rail line, stops at stations for Terminals A, B, C/D and E/F and reaches Center City in about 25 minutes, continuing through 30th Street Station. Trains run from about 5 a.m. to midnight, every 30 minutes on weekdays and hourly on weekends and holidays.

Taxis wait at Zone 5, outside each terminal's baggage claim on the Commercial Roadway side. A flat rate applies to trips to Center City, between the Schuylkill and Delaware Rivers, and other trips are metered. Accept rides only from the official taxi zone, never from drivers offering rides inside the terminal.

Uber and Lyft pick up at Zone 7, outside each terminal's baggage claim on the Commercial Roadway side. Follow the signs from baggage claim and check the zone your app shows. Premium ride-app services and hired cars use Zone 6, next to it.

Yes. All seven terminals are linked inside security, so you can walk from one to the next past shops and restaurants. The walk from A-West to F takes roughly 30 minutes, so a free shuttle bus runs inside security between Terminal F, near gate F14, and Terminals A, B and C.

Parking garages stand opposite the terminals, linked by covered walkways, with ground-level Short-Term lots by baggage claim.

Drivers collecting passengers can wait for free at the Cell Phone Waiting Lot, reached from I-95 and Route 291.
