I do not remember that I have ever flown into or out of this airport, because when we go from Baltimore to Philadelphia we usually drive. We went to the airport this past October (2004), but only to turn in a rental car. That was because we figured it would be easier to drive a one way rental to Philadelphia even from our house in Leonardtown than it would be to drive to BWI and then fly. The flight would only be 45 minutes, but the drive to BWI would be two hours, plus we'd have to be there an hour in advance of the flight. And I thought it would also be cheaper to drive as the airline tickets would be over $100 each.
So we left Sunday about 8:00. We went through the Harbor Tunnel ($2) a little after 9:30, crossed the Susquehanna and got to the toll on I-95 ($5) about 10:10 (114 miles). Then there was another $3 toll in Delaware. Then as we approached the airport, the Broad Street exit was completely clogged with fans going to the Eagles game. It has taken us just 3 hours to get to this point and we've been 167 miles. So we went on past that exit, got off and got gas ($2.71/gal and it took about 6 + gallons) and after several wrong turns managed to turn in the car ($73.40) at the airport. Then we got a taxi from the airport to the ship. We were walking aboard by 1:15 (even though we got delayed and lost), and the total time was 5 hours (v.s. 4 hours + time to get luggage in Philadelphia), and cost $123 including the taxi from the airport.

Cabs are readily available and the layout of the terminals and the signage is easy to navigate. The exception to this is when you arrive from overseas. It's not so bad for me, because I'm used to it, but I can imagine that a non-English speaker might be a little confused coming through customs. My advice is to just follow the crowd that comes off of your flight and you should be okay.
You can catch a train into Center City as well, which takes you into 30th Street Station.
The airport code in PHL.
To get there from Center City, take the I76 South, turn off at exit 43B, then join SR-291 South and continue Southwest on SR-291.
Turn off at the Airport Exit and you're there. Or, if you're coming from Old City (east side of Center City), just jump on I95 South and you'll see the signs for the airport after five miles or so. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

The airport has 7 terminals and 4 runways handle 700 flights a day from 30 airlines.
The airport is located south of the city along Interstates 95, 76, and 476 next to the Delaware River. It is easily accessible from the city via the high-speed rail service, buses and taxis.
Parking is limited...short term parking is a minimum of $3 for 30 minutes and a max of $38 per day!!! Long term parking is much better priced at around $8 per day, but space is limited (the day I came, the lot was full). There are several off-airport lots with rates from $8 to $15 per day.

 Waiting for the Philly
Phlash! by VeronicaG
Each of these stops take you to or near major attractions and runs daily l0-6 p.m. from Mar 1.-November 30. *An all day family pass costs only $10!! Seniors ride free daily except from 4:30 p.m- 5:30 p.m.
If you use one of the EZ parking lots (see listing on www.gophila.com/phlash) you can redeem $1 off the cost of a day's parking. Maps are distributed on the Phlash, so we had no problem getting around to anything we wanted to see. The phlash leaves about every 12 minutes and tickets can be purchased at The Independence Visitor's Center at 6th and Market Street.
FYI: In 2007, the Phlash begins operating at the end of May. Individual passes are $1 for each time you board the trolley. (*The family pass for $10 is an all day ticket for two adults and two children, ages 6-17.) Theme: Bus

For an unique view of Philly take a ride on the zoo balloon. It's a hot air balloon tethered at the Philadelphia Zoo. You can ride up, take in the view, and come right down again. It's an interesting way to snap a great photo! Take a sweater. It's COLD up there! Leave a Comment Theme: Other
