Flying In for a Meeting? How to Get From PHL Airport to a Center City Meeting Room Without a Car
Quick answer: From Philadelphia International Airport, take SEPTA's Airport Line Regional Rail train to 30th Street Station, a ride of roughly 20 minutes. CYTO | PHL in the Cira Centre is directly adjacent to the station, so out-of-town attendees can fly in, meet, and fly out the same day without renting a car.
When attendees fly in for a meeting, the venue location can make or break the day. Airport hotel rooms feel sterile, and Center City traffic can turn a short drive into an hour.
Philadelphia has an advantage many cities lack: a direct rail link from the airport to a major train hub. Here is how to use it.
Getting From PHL to 30th Street Station
By train: SEPTA's Airport Line runs from every terminal at Philadelphia International Airport to 30th Street Station. Check SEPTA for current schedules and fares.
By rideshare or taxi: Usually 20 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic on I-95 and I-76.
By car: Garage parking is available near the Cira Centre, with discounted options for CYTO | PHL guests.

Attendees from New York or Washington can skip flying entirely.
Center City and University City restaurants are minutes away for team dinners.
