How to get from Terminal C to Terminal F in Philadelphia airport?

WHAT IS THE EASIEST WAY TO TRAVEL BETWEEN TERMINAL F AND TERMINALS A-WEST, B, C AND D? Free shuttle bus service is available at Terminal F, Gate F-14, to Gate C-16 (Terminals C,D and B) and Gate A-1 (Terminals A-East and A-West). Shuttles at C-16 and A-1 provide service to Terminal F only.



To get from Terminal C to Terminal F at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) without exiting security, you should use the free airside shuttle bus. The shuttle stop in Terminal C is located near Gate C16. These buses run frequently (usually every 5-10 minutes) and take you directly to Terminal F, which is located at the far end of the airport complex. You can also walk between the terminals, but it is a significant distance; walking from Terminal C to Terminal F can take 20 to 30 minutes as you have to navigate through the connectors. If you are outside security (landside), you can take the Economy Parking Shuttle or a terminal-to-terminal shuttle, but you will have to go through the TSA security checkpoint again at your destination terminal. For most passengers with a tight connection, the airside shuttle from C16 is the most efficient and stress-free option.
