The C onwards terminals at PHL used to be much worse, almost like a cross between a school locker room and a prison, they are vastly better than the used to be, even the layout with the new A gate is better than the miles of walking to the old one.
I usually look up the art displays to go an look at before I go to the lounge, I love the bird things as well.
- I have had bad experiences with the TSA at PHL, also MIA EWR LAS
- the signage could be better at the lifts in arrivals- if you get to the bottom of the lift and look for a push bar door on the left its a shortcut to outside
- the luggage delivery is slow but I think thats a function of getting off first
- I always walk outside to smoke for the D E F terminals but a shuttle bus does go past me
- "Phillytude" I visit 4-6 times a year so I probably dont notice it
The place is a palace compared to the VS gates at EWR
