Philadelphia Route description - London - Philadelphia Flights to Philadelphia from London can be a bit disjointed so carefully check all options. Flights depart from Heathrow and most arrive at Philadelphia International after a stop; usually in a major US city like New York or Washington, D.C. But watch out, when searching for a flight between London and Philadelphia, some airlines such as United, will transfer you to a train in Newark, New York. This can be a good option if you'd rather stay on the ground but the extended connection time may not be worth it. On average, flights to Philadelphia from London take around 9 hours, but they often include extended layovers, pushing total travel time to 16 hours or more. However, you may find a direct cheap flight from London -Philadelphia. And, a cheap flight from London -Philadelphia can actually sometimes have fewer stops than more pricey flights. To get from Philadelphia International to Center City (downtown), use the Regional Rail. It costs $7 (£5) and takes about 25 minutes. Tip: If you have a long layover in Newark when flying from London - Philadelphia, why not dine and shop in Manhattan? It takes around 45-60 minutes by taxi and will cost between $50 (£30) and $70 (£45) and less if you ride share.
