Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) is American Airlines’ Northeast hub, sitting about 7 miles from downtown Philadelphia’s Center City.

Seven Terminals in a Row

PHL’s seven terminals, A-West, A-East, B, C, D, E, and F, are arranged in a line, so it is possible to walk the entire length of the airport if a connection requires it, though moving walkways help.

SEPTA’s Airport Line Is Fast and Direct

SEPTA’s Airport Regional Rail Line stops at every terminal and reaches Center City in about 25 minutes with one intermediate stop, running every 30 minutes, a straightforward alternative to a taxi or rideshare.

A Convenient Northeast Corridor Stop

PHL’s location along the Northeast Corridor also makes it an easy connection point if part of your trip involves Amtrak, since 30th Street Station is on the same Airport Line.
