Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) serves as the city’s main international and domestic gateway, typically handling a mix of legacy carriers and some low-cost operators; it can feel more of a full-service hub than a budget-focused field. The airport lies about 8 miles (13 km) southwest of downtown Philadelphia — a drive of roughly 20–30 minutes depending on traffic. Public transit options include SEPTA Airport Line trains to Center City taking about 25–30 minutes with fares usually in the low-single-digit range, plus taxis, ride-shares and airport shuttles that can cost more but offer door-to-door service. Pros: frequent flights, full amenities and straightforward rail link; cons: peak-hour congestion and occasional higher parking or taxi costs compared with smaller regional airports.

Dallas is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Dallas/Fort Worth International (DFW) is a major international hub that typically handles long-haul and legacy-carrier traffic — think American Airlines and numerous global connections — and generally can be perceived as mid-to-premium in terms of service and amenities. Located roughly 20–25 miles northwest of downtown Dallas, rail (TRE plus DART connections), shuttle and taxi rides usually take 25–45 minutes depending on traffic; shuttle and local taxi fares can vary widely while rideshares commonly offer competitive pricing. Pros: extensive flight choices, lounges and ground services; cons: large terminals and longer internal transfers. Dallas Love Field (DAL) functions as a smaller, more domestic-focused airport that often caters to low-cost and legacy carriers alike, notably serving many Southwest Airlines flights. It sits about 6 miles northwest of downtown, making transit fast — DART, ride-shares or taxis generally take 15–25 minutes; fares are typically lower than longer rides from DFW. Pros: convenience and shorter transfer times; cons: fewer international routes and more limited lounge spaces.
