Philadelphia International Airport Terminals (SEPTA station)
Encyclopedia
Philadelphia International Airport Terminals are a series of railroad stations that are designed to connect SEPTA Regional Rail
with the Philadelphia International Airport
. Rather than a single station, it is a complex of three stations and four stops throughout the airport for six terminals:
The Terminal A-West/East station is located on the right half of the Terminal A-West pre-security area, on Level 2, closest to gate A-15.
The stations for terminal A and terminal B share platforms. Trains stop at one end for Terminal A and the other end for Terminal B.
Each of the four stations is fully handicapped accessible and is located next to the baggage claim at each terminal with escalator
and elevator
access from each terminal's skyway
. Incoming trains from the city first arrive at Terminal A, and arrive last at Terminals E and F, where the line terminates.
Although the airport is only located several miles from Center City, the stations are located in zone 5. Therefore commuters are currently charged US $
7.00 one-way to any of the five stations in the Center City zone, the same fare as anybody else traveling to and from zone 5. Discounts are available for tickets purchased before boarding or riding after 7PM. Advance purchases can be made at a station, other sales locations within the airport, and by mail-order through the Transit Store link on SEPTA's website. No parking is available at any of the stations.
