About Philadelphia

Getting There

Philadelphia is a major city in the U.S. so virtually every form of transportation will get you there.

Although Philadelphia International Airport does serve overseas travelers, international service is somewhat limited, particularly for those traveling from Asia. Either connecting flights from Los Angeles (airport code LAX), or New York’s John F. Kennedy International (airport code JFK), New Jersey’s Newark International Airport (code EWR), or Washington, D.C.’s Dulles International Airport (code IAD) offer many international flights and are either a short connecting flight or a two-hour car ride to Philadelphia.
