Philadelphia International Airport Terminals are a series of railroad stations that are designed to connect SEPTA Regional Rail with the Philadelphia International Airport. Rather than a single station, it is a complex of four stations throughout the airport for six terminals:

Airport Terminal A East/West

*Airport Terminal A East serves Gates #A1-A13.
*Airport Terminal A West serves Gates #A14-A26.

Airport Terminal B

*Airport Terminal B serves Gates #B1-B16. A food court and shopping area exists between Terminals B and C.

Airport Terminals C & D

*Airport Terminal C serves Gates #C16-C30. A shuttle bus between terminals C & F also exists here.
*Airport Terminal D serves Gates #D1-D16.

Airport Terminals E & F

*Airport Terminal E serves Gates #E1-E11.
*Airport Terminal F serves Gates #F1-F39.

Each of the four stations is fully handicapped accessible and is located next to the baggage claim at each terminal with escalator and elevator access from each terminal's skyway. All R1 Regional Rail trains provide service to the airport from Glenside, Pennsylvania via Center City, Philadelphia. On weekends, R1 trains provide extended service via the R2 and R3 lines from the airport to Warminster, Pennsylvania and West Trenton, New Jersey, respectively. On weekdays, some R1 trains also serve the airport via the R2 line. Incoming trains from the city first arrive at Terminal A, and arrive last at Terminals E and F, where the line terminates.

Although the airport is only located several miles from Center City, the stations are located in zone 5, and peak fares apply at all times. Therefore commuters are currently chaged US $7.00 one-way to any of the five stations in the Center City zone, the same fare as anybody else traveling to and from zone 5. Discounts are available for tickets purchased before boarding. Advance purchases can be made at a station, other sales locations within the airport, and by mail-order through the Transit Store link on SEPTA's website. No parking is available at any of the stations.
