PHL airport terminals

Parking

If you’re arriving to Philly early, make the most of your situation by parking as close to your terminal as possible. Short-term parking is located on the ground level of the garage, offering quick access to Terminals A through F. The upper levels are great for those leaving their cars for a little bit longer, offering a slightly lower rate than short-term. Those in need of long-term spots should head to Economy Parking, which offers complimentary services like police patrolling, battery jump starts, auto lockout services.

Services

A lot of airports go above and beyond to please their customers, but few go as far as opening an art exhibit, and Philadelphia International has a whopping 18. Take your relaxation further by giving some to your dog or cat, visiting one of the many pet relief areas, whether it be the one by Terminal A’s Gate 16 or beside Terminal C and D’s walkway. There is also free Wi-Fi throughout the facility, not to mention a nursing station nick-named ‘Minute Suites’ located between Terminals B and A along the East Side walkway. Nursing Rooms are free the first 30 minutes.

Retail

Head to the one-stop-shop, Brookstone by Terminal A West for quality necessities that range from basic neck pillows to specialty souvenirs. Catch up on yesterday’s news by picking up a variety of papers or magazines from the CNBC News Store, located at Terminal A East as well as the connector for Terminal B and C.
