American Airlines and The Landline Company have partnered to launch an innovative “tarmac-to-tarmac” luxury motorcoach service connecting Wilmington Airport (ILG) and Philadelphia International Airport (PHL). This groundbreaking initiative aims to simplify travel between these major aviation centers and is scheduled to start operating on October 7, 2024, promising passengers a smooth and hassle-free travel experience.
This latest service focuses on improving passenger connectivity and comfort, allowing travelers to complete security procedures and check their luggage at ILG before boarding a deluxe motorcoach under the American Airlines brand, which will take them to Philadelphia International Airport. Upon reaching Terminal F at PHL, passengers can conveniently disembark at a secure gate, easing their transition to connecting flights within American’s extensive global network.
Passengers aboard these luxury motorcoaches will enjoy premium features such as plush leather seats, complimentary WiFi, and in-seat power, providing a first-class travel experience comparable to a premium regional jet cabin. Additionally, travelers can accrue and redeem AAdvantage® miles through these Landline connections, enhancing the rewards of their journey.
The service is strategically designed with six daily roundtrip operations, synchronizing its schedule with crucial American Airlines departures from PHL. This seamless transition between airports optimizes connectivity, reduces travel interruptions, and enhances the overall passenger journey, aiming for a superior travel experience.
