Philadelphia International Airport (PHL)

Philadelphia International Airport is the Delaware Valley’s main airport and a gateway to one of America’s most historic cities. Its role in business travel, East Coast connections, and regional identity makes it a useful CityLens stop for travelers building a geography of American gateways.

PHL is closely linked to Philadelphia’s arts identity through rotating airport exhibitions and public art programming. Its location near the Delaware River and major highways makes it part of the working infrastructure of the city.

SEPTA Airport Line service connects the airport with Center City Philadelphia. If driving, verify whether you are headed to a terminal, rental car area, or long-term parking, as the roadways can be confusing during busy periods.
