In my opinion.PHL is not a large airport (I fly out of EWR and JFK) but I definately wouldn't leave the airport with only two hours to kill.

The website for the Philadelphia airport.

If you're thinking of leaving the airport, don't. If you're wondering what you can see in the airport, this will help you determine what is between terminals F and A.

Oh - capital letters and punctuation go a <b>loooooong</b> way toward helping us read your questions. :) They don't have to be perfect. But they should be there.

a walk from a to f can take about 15 minutes. you won't have enought time to go anywhere the airport is not near center city and the sites. it's really in essington pa. workingclass town.... unfortunaltely the only practical thing to do is hang out.

I agree with previous posters. There is no time to leave the airport. PHL is cumbersome and there is a higher frequency of delayed landings and take offs at this airport. You may not end up with 2 hours at all, or...you may end up with more. Stay at the airport. There is a decent shopping area between terminals A,B and C if you are into that. There are lots of choices for food in the center court and you can get a sit down meal at TGI Fridays or Cibo. My favorite spot is the deli at the very far end of terminal C - can't remember the name of it. If you want more comfort, you could get a day pass to the US Air Club but frankly it isn't worth it for 2 hours(IMHO)
