Improving - need more international carriers
As a frequent traveler, the overall conditions at the airport have improved. What is badly needed is an additional runway and the addition of international carriers (i.e. direct service to Tokyo, etc). We rely too much on US Airways for travel to non-US locations, and the introduction of competition would improve prices and service.

Long lines for runway
Spent 30mins waiting in quene to take off for Fort Lauderdale FL which was a 2hr 20min flight. Pilot informed us that we were number 24 in line to take off.

Airline recruitment
I have no gripes flying in and out of PHL, especially on off peak hours. But I really think the airport needs to work on recruiting airlines that some major cities boast. For instance, Virgin America, based in San Francisco, flies in and out of JFK, DC, and Logan to the west coast. Why is Philly skipped? We could use a contemporary, domestic airline like that or Jet Blue. And our international traffic has been great, but we really need to get some big names here (Cathay Pacific, Korean Air, Emirates, Qantas, LAN). USAir is part of the Star Alliance, so maybe that will help to get some its partners here? Just a thought...

More runways
Delays are a huge problem. There's a capacity issue. More runways are needed. It's a shame that Tinicum park would have to go, but there's no other way to relieve those queues/backups without more runways to allow more takeoffs. I sit on the runway every time I take off there now. Baggage is outrageous. Inside of the airport is good for restaurants, shops...etc.

First impression
If the philly airport is responsible for first impressions its a wonder anyone lands here for any reason. Another national joke that has forced its citizens to park along the highway then ticket them.

Terminal F is the worst
What is the deal with Terminal F? Not connected post security with everything else, long lines at Airport security and always a delay flying out of F!! WORST

The members of Phish embark on their first offical reunion tour since playing their last concerts in 2004. One of the most revered touring acts of the 90s, Phish's eclectic style of rock 'n' roll weaves influences from free-jazz to bluegrass to folk, among many other stylings. Formed in 1983, the band features guitarist/vocalist Trey Anastasio, bassist Mike Gordon, keyboardist Page McConnell and drummer Jon Fishman.

When it was all ready one afternoon last week - the dry-brined turkey a rosy chestnut brown, the Sister Frances' Potatoes (named for one of the last of the famously celibate Shakers), the brothy, purposefully not creamy blue-pumpkin soup (with a sour jolt of preserved lemon), Melissa Hamilton beamed at what she had wrought. » Read more
