Search Philadelphia Flights

The city of Philadelphia claims to be the owner of the world’s most delicious sandwich, the Philly cheesesteak. And you know what? They may very well be right. Thin slices of steak covered in Cheez Whiz is a hard combination to beat. But the first capital of the United States has much more for you to experience. Start with Independence Hall and go from there. Actually, start by browsing Wotif’s fine offers on Philadelphia hotels and just go.

Getting Around Philadelphia

Flights to Philadelphia land at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL), 21km from the central business district. You can hop on one of the SEPTA trains or buses for the trek downtown. You can even take a taxicab straight to your hotel lobby.

Once you’re checked in and ready to go gallivanting around town, check the trolley, bus or subway schedule and choose the best one for you. But since this city is one of the most walkable in the country, your own two feet are a great way to get around.

When You Land…

Landing in the morning is great, because it means you get to beat the crowds at the Reading Terminal Market. Enjoy an energising cup of coffee along with a delicious breakfast of fresh fruit and anything else you want. Really, the food options here are endless. It’ll give you the stamina to check out historic sites like Independence and Congress Hall.

Are you on one of the Philadelphia flights that lands at night? Go straight from the terminal to South Philly and make a life-altering decision between Geno’s Steaks or Pat’s King of Steaks. For decades, these legendary eateries have divided the neighbourhood over who has the best Philly cheesesteak in town.

Live Like a Local

The best way to live like a local is to not sit around your hotel room. Instead, go to the Fishtown neighbourhood and explore this former industrial, blue-collar district. There’s a new German beer garden and restaurant that’ll make you feel like you’re in Bavaria instead of the “City of Brotherly Love”.

There’s nothing like eating a cheesesteak smothered in Cheese Whiz while staring at the Liberty Bell. Browse our cheap flights to Philadelphia and you’ll have your hands on one of those delicious sandwiches in no time. And if you’d like to scarf down an amazing slice of pizza at the top of the Empire State Building, check out Wotif’s offers on New York holiday packages and make the 30-minute flight to the “The Big Apple”.
