    Eschew a cab and take the R1 "Airport Line" on SEPTA to get to Center City for only $7 bucks! Roughly on the 1/4 and 3/4 hour depending on your terminal.

    Don't be fooled by all the cars stopped in the lanes on the way in. Philly natives make their own rules. There is a free cell phone waiting lot while you wait for flights to arrive.

    Been using this airport regularly for about 15 years now and I like it more and more with every passing year.

    If you leave all your weapons behind you can pass through security. Go thru one of the gates and you can travel to any other part of the map.Some of your inventory items may be missing tho(it's a bug)

    If you have the time, walk to terminal B/C mall to Legal Seafood. Great food, great booze, makes you feel like you are not in the airport waiting for a flight!!

    Take a break, or catch up on sleep between flights or during long delays with Philadelphia International Airport's new Minute Suites. This is only the second airport in the U.S. offering these!

    This is one of the nicer larger airports on the east coast. Lots of shopping and food places. I appreciate the rocking chairs they have scattered about- good for people watching

    Layover in PHL? Instead of sitting find a Fitness zone and do some spinning on a stationary bike. Its good for you.

    Whatever may be said about terminal F, the renovations have made it much improved. It now has a wide variety of food options, including a local favorite of mine, Le Bus.

    If you get stuck in any American airport, make sure you're in terminal C at PHL. This terminal has everything: a huge shopping mall, cute coffee shops and restaurants, and rocking chairs! Nice staff 2

    American in terminal B doesn't have a precheck line- it's over in C. Line is usually short though, and they'll give you a card to keep your shoes on!

    Decent facilities, but there will always be tarmac delays due to constraints in the airspace. This is particularly true for flights departing later in the afternoon or in the evening.

    Look for bathrooms near beginning of terminal, past security, that have HUGE stalls - will easily fit carryon bags.

    Boule Café staff is amazing. You can have a drink or food super close to Gates B15-B17. Great staff! Daniel is da bomb!

    Lots of local flavor like Philly Pretzel Factory & La Colombe, & even a mini Liberty Bell in the gift shop, but these jabronis don’t have anywhere to buy a Hanks Root Beer? Straight drawlin that jawn

    During your wait at Terminal F (which likely will be way longer than you had planned) be sure to visit Tony Luke's for a cheesesteak. Very tasty!

    Cross your fingers while making your connecting flight! Give yourself at least an hour to get from one side of the airport to the other

    Welcome to Philly - home of cheesesteaks, brotherly love and three professional sports teams. The driving distance between the airport and downtown is approximately 9 miles.

    I love Legal Seafood!! Surprised to find one at this airport though. Their seafood is really really good. Love the oysters.

    The cushy seats in the glassed-in walkway between D & E are a good place to read or check e-mail, and there's a great view of flights coming and going (even though E isn't the busiest terminal.

    There are rotating art exhibits all around the airport. If you have a longer layover, walk around all terminals, the exhibits are worth seeing.

    If you’ve got some time, stop at Chickie’s. If you’re not from town, get the crab fries. Trust me.

    There actually are priority boarding areas. They're not well designated, but they're clumped all together at the ends near general boarding.

    Nicely updated airport with great dining options and a surprisingly fast customs process. But avoid domestic checked baggage the wait can be close to an hour

    Fly southwest! Their flights are rarely delayed, and the staff is fabulous. Also your first checked bag is free!!

    Not a lot of seating towards the end of E terminal. I always grab a comfy chair in between D and E. There's charging plugs and USB ports by some of the comfy chairs too.

    Connect to the Internet (where available) and be nice to the flight crew. Remember, they have jobs that are just as (--or more--) challenging than most others.

    Although more spots in the airport advertise having Apple  Pay, only a few actually have staff that know how to make this work from the employee-side (this last visit, Dunkin worked)

    Can't find power? Sky Asian Bistro in terminal c has 110 AND usb at every bar seat and several outlets by the tables. Pad Thai is a tasty good deal. One bright spot in an otherwise crappy airport.

    Never ending pretzels in the Terminal F food court. If you want a quick snack before hopping on your next flight it's worth the $3

    If you have Comcast for internet service, look for their wifi stations around the terminals. You can download movies and TV shows to watch for free.

    Get TSA Pre check, lines can be really long thru security. Food court is fast, large and clean. Hit the Rock bar if you have time.

    Sbarro's is terrible. Don't fall prey to the pretty pizza pictures. On the bright side, terminal F has a cool lounge area w/ couches & charging stations. Lots of good shopping & fancy restaurants

    Pretty large airport with short security lines, well I am a priority traveler. Anyway, they also have an admiral's club so don't miss it! It's the best place to wait for your flight.

    In B Terminal, there are too few restrooms, and their moving walkways are too narrow to truly "stand to the right, walk to the left." Good news. They have a The Gap for some layover shopping.

    "Miss Viv" at the security checkpoint closest to the C gates is the best airport employee ever. "Young people, we have a sexy single young lady over here, and if you're single, too, buy her a coffee."
