How to travel to Philadelphia’s airport
In 2024, Wilmington Airport and American Airlines’ motorcoach service, Landline Co., revealed a partnership aimed at broadening the routes available from the Wilmington Airport while easing the commuting stress to and from Philadelphia Airport.
The process initiates by reserving a flight through American Airlines with ILG as the departure (or arrival) airport. The booking will specify that a bus will pick you up for a roughly 50-minute journey from ILG to PHL’s Terminal F. After the bus ride, you can proceed to the appropriate terminal and board your flight from Philadelphia International Airport.
Utilizing this service enables travelers to park and undergo security checks at Wilmington Airport instead of the significantly busier Philadelphia hub.
When making your flight reservation with American Airlines, the time displayed on the confirmation will indicate the bus departure time to the Philadelphia Airport. The buses operate six trips each day, both to and from Philadelphia.
