- Philadelphia-themed food items add local flavor to the standard Admirals Club menu
- Shower suites available for freshening up on long layovers
- Convenient Terminal B location near the heart of American Airlines operations
The Bad
- Peak morning rush can fill the lounge quickly as American banks its East Coast connections

- Can feel crowded during afternoon transatlantic departure waves
Pro Tips
- The soft pretzel bites with beer cheese are a genuine Philadelphia touch and one of the better Admirals Club snack options in the system.
- Yards Brawler is a Philadelphia craft beer brewed just miles from the airport. It is a smooth, malty English-style ale.
- If this location is full, the Terminal C Admirals Club is connected airside and about 5 minutes away on foot.
- Request a shower suite early if you are on a layover. With only two stalls, waits can build in the afternoon.
