Traveling to Philadelphia

Flights to Philadelphia arrive at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL).

Coming from the Chicago area? A number of airlines offer nonstop flights between Chicago O'Hare (ORD) and Philadelphia: American Airlines, US Airways and United offer the most flights per day, at about $230 to $300 for a round trip flight.

Taxi fare from the airport to Central Philadelphia is $28.50 (flat rate).

Philadelphia is a very walkable city and it will be unlikely that you will need a car. However, a variety of car rental options are available upon arrival at the airport. (You can also make reservations ahead of time.)

There are several parking garages near the Union League and in Center City. (A day's parking will cost about $30.)

Coming from the New York City area? The easiest way to travel is by train, via Amtrak. The trip is about 1.5 hours.

There are several trips per day, which depart from New York--Penn Station and arrive at Philadelphia--30th Street Station. From there, it's a short taxi or subway ride to the League.

If you're on a tight budget, BoltBus and MegaBus are also options, both of which arrive and depart curbside behind 30th Street Station. (For the seasoned budget traveler, there are also several Chinatown buses that drop off in Center City.)
