A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Types of Buses We Offer for Airport Transportation in Levittown
Philadelphia International Airport (PHL)
Address: 8000 Essington Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19153
Philadelphia International (PHL) is the primary gateway for groups traveling to Levittown, located approximately 35 miles southwest via I-95 North. As a major hub for American Airlines, PHL handles hundreds of domestic and international flights daily across its seven terminals (A-West through F). We eliminate this anxiety by providing exact staging and loading instructions tailored to the airport’s strict commercial vehicle regulations.
Arrivals & Charter Bus Pick Up Service at PHL
When your group lands at PHL, the most critical step is gathering all passengers and luggage at the baggage claim before notifying your driver. Philadelphia International Airport does not permit charter buses to idle at the curb for more than a few minutes. Your Charter Bus Levittown driver will stage the vehicle at the commercial vehicle holding lot on Hog Island Road and will only proceed to the terminal once your group is physically standing at the designated zone.
The designated charter bus pick-up zones are located on the arrivals level (Baggage Claim) at the following specific locations:
- Terminals A-East, B, C, and D: Groups should exit the baggage claim and proceed to the outer commercial thumb. Look for the white and blue signage indicating "Charter Bus/Shared Ride." Our buses utilize the Zone 4 or Zone 8 slots depending on the current traffic flow managed by airport dispatch.
- Terminal E and F: Exit the terminal and follow signs for the Ground Transportation Center. The bus loading area is situated across the pedestrian bridge, providing a safe harbor away from the heavy congestion of the main terminal departures road.
Note: Our 56-passenger motorcoaches utilize the outer lanes to avoid the height-restricted overhangs near the immediate terminal doors. Unlike rideshares that get stuck in the primary passenger flow, the drivers coordinate with PHL dispatch to ensure a seamless entry to the thumb once you signal readiness.
Trenton-Mercer Airport (TTN) Group Logistics
Address: 1100 Terminal Circle Dr, Trenton, NJ 08628
Located just 10 miles from the heart of Levittown via the Scudder Falls Bridge (I-295), Trenton-Mercer (TTN) is a favored choice for budget-conscious groups flying Frontier Airlines. While the terminal is significantly smaller than PHL, its limited curb space creates unique challenges for oversized vehicles. Charter buses are not permitted to park in the main terminal loop. We stage our vehicles at the nearby cell phone lot on Sam Weinroth Road until your group clears the single baggage claim carousel. Once ready, your driver will pull curbside directly in front of the terminal entrance. This is the fastest "curb-to-couch" transition in the region, ideal for local schools returning from out-of-state competitions.
Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE) Transfers
Address: 3311 Airport Rd, Allentown, PA 18109
For groups approaching from the north, Lehigh Valley International (ABE) offers a less congested alternative to Philadelphia. It is approximately a 60-minute drive to Levittown via PA-33 South and I-295 South. At ABE, charter bus loading is centralized at the Ground Transportation center located directly outside the lower-level baggage claim. Because this airport serves as a major hub for Allegiant and American Eagle, we recommend utilizing the onboard Wi-Fi of your coach to check real-time gate arrivals, as the PA-33 corridor can experience sudden delays near the Bethlehem interchanges.
Charter Bus Dropoffs at Departure Terminals
For departures from PHL, TTN, or ABE, Charter Bus Levittown provides direct curbside drop-off at your specific airline's ticketing level. At PHL, we utilize the departure road (Level 2). Please have your group organized by "bus-half" to facilitate rapid unloading. Airport security prohibits any vehicle from remaining stationary once the luggage bays are closed. We recommend arriving at PHL at least 3 hours before an international flight and 2 hours for domestic travel to account for the heavy merge traffic at the I-95 and PA-291 split near the airport entrance.
Parking Reality for Large Events in Levittown
If your group is heading to a local event after landing, please be aware of parking limitations for oversized vehicles. For instance, if you are visiting the Oxford Valley Mall or heading to a game at Jim Worthington Field, these lots are designed for passenger cars. We provide "drop and go" services, where we unload your group at the main entrance, then stage the bus at the nearby Sesame Place overflow lot or the Levittown Town Center parking area, returning precisely when your event concludes. This prevents your group from incurring fines for blocking fire lanes or occupying multiple car spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions About Levittown Airport Transportation
What is the traffic like traveling from PHL to Levittown?
The commute along I-95 North is notoriously heavy during morning rush (6:30 AM – 9:00 AM) and evening rush (3:30 PM – 6:30 PM). If your flight lands during these windows, expect the 35-mile journey to take upwards of 75 minutes. We recommend adding a "traffic buffer" to your schedule if you have a timed reservation at a venue like the Bolton Mansion. The drivers are known to utilize the Woodhaven Road (PA-63) or US-1 alternatives if I-95 reaches a total standstill near the Cottman Avenue exit.
How early should our group arrive at the airport?
For departures from Philadelphia International (PHL), we insist on a 3-hour lead time for international groups and 2 hours for domestic. For Trenton-Mercer (TTN), 90 minutes is usually sufficient due to the smaller terminal size.
Can the bus wait at the curb if our flight is delayed?
No. Neither PHL nor TTN allows charter buses to "wait and see" at the terminal curb. If your flight is delayed, your driver will remain in the authorized staging area (such as the PHL cell phone lot or the commercial holding area). You must contact the driver only when the entire group is standing at the designated pick-up zone with their bags in hand. This ensures we comply with airport security and keep the flow of traffic moving for other travelers.
Where should our group meet if we arrive at different PHL terminals?
If your group is split between Terminal A and Terminal C, for example, we highly recommend regrouping at a single terminal's baggage claim before requesting the bus. It is often faster for passengers to use the PHL terminal connectors or the AirTrain than for a 45-foot motorcoach to navigate the multi-level merge traffic between terminals multiple times. We suggest picking the terminal where the majority of your group is landing as the primary meeting point.
Are the buses equipped for heavy luggage or sports gear?
Yes. Our 56-passenger motorcoaches feature expansive undercarriage storage bays, offering around 440 to 595 cubic feet of space. This is essential for hockey teams playing at the Grundy Arena or school bands carrying instruments. For smaller groups under 20 people using a minibus, luggage is stored in a designated rear compartment. Always specify if you have oversized gear so we can ensure your assigned vehicle has the necessary bay height to accommodate it.
