PHL Meet & Greet — Quick Facts
PHL Terminal Meet & Greet Guide
Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) handles 32 million passengers annually across seven terminal areas. Each terminal has its own baggage claim on the lower arrivals level. Your Detailed Drivers chauffeur will be positioned with a name sign at the baggage carousel for your flight — no navigating to a remote pickup zone in the cold or rain.

Terminal A-East — International Arrivals (60-min wait)
