From humble beginnings in 1927, the Philadelphia Airport has since grown to become one of the largest centers for air travel in the country. As the only airport to serve the Philadelphia metropolitan area and Delaware Valley, PHL is visited by 31 million passengers each year. The airport is also the largest international departure center for US Airways flights, with daily service to 124 cities in North America, Latin America, the Caribbean, Europe and the Middle East.
The Philadelphia Airport has undergone a number of improvements and renovations over the years that have helped maintain its status as a state-of-the-art facility. In recent years, major projects have included expanding, modernizing and connecting Terminals D and E and a complete redesign of Terminal F. Additionally, Terminal B of PHL has been commended for its excellent array of dining and shopping options, dubbed the “Philadelphia Marketplace,” many of which offer items at standard retail prices. Also scattered throughout the terminals are a number of permanent and rotating art exhibits and installations. Given its relative proximity to both I-95 and the heart of downtown Philadelphia, there are a wide range of options for ground transportation once you land at PHL. To get downtown quickly and affordably, use Philadelphia’s light rail service, which makes local stops between PHL and Center City. From Center City, you’ll have easy access to the best restaurants, shopping and a wealth of other great attractions.
