Flying out of Philly

Has anyone flown out of Philly? A coworker just said every time they've flown out of Philly they end up sitting on the runway for at least an hour before take-off. I found some really cheap tickets out of there though, at least $50 cheaper than BWI, and they're about the same distance from us.

just did

My wife and I decided to fly out of Philly vice BWI or DCA for the exact same reason. Our tix to Vegas were about 150 buvks cheaper going through Philly.

We had no such issues flying out of Philly. We had a 3:40pm flight and it left right on time (Continental).

Coming home was a different thing though. We were due to arrive at 4:54pm on a Friday - but ended up leaving Houston 30 minutes late. By the time we got to Philly, the pattern was full and we ended up circling the airport for an extra 10-15 minutes.

It was probably our fault for taking a flight with an arrival time of 5pm.

Bottom line, we would fly through Philly again.

We flew from Philly to Chicago, flight was to leave at 4:40p.m. delayed for 4 hours as they needed a fresh crew, ready to board finally at 8 something, delayed again for bad weather in Chicago, finally arrived in Chicago at 2:10 a.m. NEVER again. This was Continental, will stick with BWI any day

re

That can happen at any airport. I flew out of Philly several times without issue and had problems at BWI but I wouldn't say never again to BWI. Airlines are a different story. I won't fly USAIR again. Their customer service is non-existant

We flew out of Philly on a Friday night a few weeks ago. Flew United, our 6 o'clock flight was delayed about a half hour due to lots of traffic backed up on the runway, but it wasn't a big deal. It's such a short flight, you're up, you're down. :lol:
