Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) is the region’s primary international and domestic gateway, typically serving a mix of legacy carriers and several low-cost airlines. Located about 7 miles southwest of downtown Philadelphia, it can be reached by SEPTA regional rail or Airport Line in roughly 20–25 minutes, or by taxi/rideshare in about 20–35 minutes depending on traffic; expect transit fares in the low single digits and taxis/rideshares to be noticeably higher. The airport usually offers a full range of amenities and frequent nonstop routes, making it convenient for business and leisure travel, though peak-hour congestion and security queues can add time. For budget-sensitive flyers, nearby smaller airports are occasionally used but PHL typically provides the best route options.
San Jose Mineta International Airport (SJC) serves as the primary airport for downtown San Jose and much of Silicon Valley, functioning as a mid‑sized international and domestic hub with a mix of legacy carriers and budget airlines. It is roughly 3–5 miles (10–20 minutes by car without heavy traffic) from downtown; taxis and ride‑share services typically cost in the mid‑teens to low‑thirties USD, while VTA light rail and buses can take 20–40 minutes for a lower fare. SJC is usually convenient for business travelers and short connections, offering compact terminals and relatively quick security lines, though peak commuting hours can make road access slower and parking pricier than suburban alternatives.
