Philadelphia International Airport
8417 Essington Ave, Philadelphia, PAWeb: Visit this site »
Located in Philadelphia, the fifth largest city in the U.S. that's known as the nation's birthplace, the Philadelphia International Airport gets a lot of traffic from both Philly residents and tourists. The airport is approximately seven miles from downtown Philadelphia and is connected to the city by SEPTA's high speed rail line. It is a major international and domestic hub for US Airways, but over twenty airlines service the airport offering nonstop flights to numerous domestic and international destinations. The airport is a sprawling complex with six different terminal facilities: Terminals A West and East, Terminal B/C, Terminal D, Terminal E and Terminal F. Terminal F was opened in June 2001 and offers 38 gates for regional and commuter jets, and Terminal A West houses a new international hall opened in Spring 2003. It's quite a trek, even with a shuttle, between Terminal A and Terminal F, so veteran travelers recommend budgeting an extra 30 minutes if you're connecting from an international flight to a regional one. Terminal B/C, where US Airways primarily operates, houses the Philadelphia Marketplace, a large food, beverage and retail gallery. Throughout all of the terminals, be on the lookout for the airport's extensive art displays featuring arts, crafts, design and photography by artists from Philadelphia and around the world.

- Location, variety of destinations.
- Cosmetics, movement between concourses, security.
“As our home base airport, my family and I use Philadelphia int'l about twice a year. It's not the worst of the worst, but not really that great either. It always seems to be under construction, and many parts have a confusing layout. The, b, and c concourses and terminals are nice, and they contain an immense amount of shops. The problem is that all the low cost airlines are in d and e, which don't have a great selection of eateries, and are not in the best condition. It's hard to Navigate between concourses, and most of their security checkpoints only have 4 lanes. They added their current checkpoints post 9-11, and they are really just a section of the hallway blocked off with drywall. Never rented a car here and we never parked at their garage.”
