While the Philadelphia area has a lot to offer, many folks enjoy getting away and exploring other areas of the country during their summer vacation.
Philadelphia International Airport is fortunate to be a major hub for US Airways and is also a major airport for other airlines as well.
Philadelphia is also fortunate to be located near several major interstate highways which allow you to drive to many areas of the country within just a few days. You can easily reach most areas of New England in one day or as far away as Florida in two days.
