Philadelphia Flight – Most of the major airlines fly into and out of Philadelphia on a somewhat regular basis. Flights from most of the eastern coast of American should be relatively brief, a flight cross country from the west will be brutal, but because on Philadelphia’s location a transatlantic flight to Philadelphia is, on average a tolerable 13 hours.

The most important thing to mention about Flying to Philadelphia is this - Always fly directly into the city. There are other air ports close by, both in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, which are often cheaper to land at, but this is a mistake. If you come in from New Jersey, you have to navigate their less then stellar public transportation or rent a car to get into the city, and you don’t want to be stuck on the New Jersey highways behind a pile up or commuter traffic trying to get into the city on your vacation.

Coming in from the Pennsylvania side is also a traffic nightmare, but from there you will end up on the Pennsylvania turn pike with multiple exits, all labeled Philadelphia, many of which will get you lost if you don’t know the city well. If you choose to fly into another airport and drive into the city, make sure to get good directions from a reliable source such as the tourist bureau or the rental company you get your car from.

Avoid New Jersey Public Transportation because you are most likely to end up lost. Not to mention you will have to get on a bus or train and then most likely walk to the ferry station and then cross the water into the city that way. An unnecessarily costly endeavor. Pennsylvania public transportation is better, but only because you are trying to enter into one of the larger cities in the state. Most public transportation revolves around states major cities.
