Sobre Philadelphia International Airport

Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) is the main airport for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the wider Delaware Valley, including South Jersey and northern Delaware. It sits on the Delaware River about 7 miles (11 km) southwest of Center City, with part of the site in Tinicum Township, Delaware County, and has its own interchange on I-95.

American Airlines runs its main Northeast hub and transatlantic gateway here, with flights across the United States, the Caribbean and Europe. Frontier, Southwest, Delta, United, JetBlue, Alaska and Allegiant add domestic routes, while British Airways, Aer Lingus, Discover Airlines, Aeroméxico, Air Canada and Qatar Airways fly to London, Dublin, Frankfurt, Mexico City, Canada and Doha. The airport handled about 30.1 million passengers in 2025.

Seven terminals, A-West, A-East and B through F, stand in one connected line, and you can walk between them inside security. International arrivals clear customs in Terminal A-West.

From the airport, most travelers head into Center City, University City, South Philadelphia's stadiums or the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Others continue to King of Prussia, Wilmington, Cherry Hill and South Jersey, or farther to Atlantic City, the Jersey Shore and Lancaster County.

Consejos de llegada a Philadelphia International Airport

International flights arrive at Terminal A-West, where you clear US passport control and customs. Have your passport and, if you need one, your visa or approved ESTA ready. Eligible travelers can use Global Entry or Mobile Passport Control to shorten the line. After customs you reach the International Arrivals Hall on Level 3 of A-West, where friends and family wait. For taxis, ride apps and pre-booked cars, take the elevator down to the ground floor and follow the signs to the A-East baggage claim, then out to the Commercial Roadway.

Domestic passengers cross the pedestrian bridges from their gates and take the escalator down to the baggage claim of their own terminal.

Ground transportation is outside each baggage claim in numbered zones: Zones 1 to 4 on the Arrivals Road side for SEPTA buses and shuttles, and Zones 5 to 8 on the Commercial Roadway side for taxis (Zone 5), limousines and hired cars (Zone 6) and ride apps (Zone 7). The SEPTA Airport Line platforms are on the Commercial Roadway side too. Accept rides only from these zones or from your pre-booked driver.
