The new service will run\u00a0three times a day in each direction<\/strong>, offering a convenient alternative to driving or flying between the two airports. According to American Airlines,\u00a0departures from Trenton are scheduled for 6:45 a.m., 12:00 p.m., and 4:30 p.m.<\/strong>\u00a0Buses return from PHL at\u00a08:30 a.m., 2:00 p.m., and 6:40 p.m.<\/strong>\u00a0The ride takes approximately 50 minutes.<\/p>\n The motorcoaches feature leather seats, power outlets, Wi-Fi, and onboard entertainment. Bags are checked at the starting airport and transferred to the final destination automatically \u2014 no extra handling needed.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re excited to bring this new level of regional connectivity to Trenton,\u201d said Lakshman Amaranayaka, American Airlines Vice President of PHL Operations. \u201cTravelers in Central Jersey will now have easier access to our global network through PHL.\u201d<\/p>\n Passengers using the Landline service check in and clear TSA security at Trenton before boarding the bus to PHL, where they go straight to their connecting gate. For return trips, the motorcoach picks up travelers at a designated gate at PHL and brings them back to Trenton, where they collect checked luggage.<\/p>\n The service is booked the same way as any American flight. It appears as a leg of the itinerary \u2014 listed as \u201cOperated by The Landline Company\u201d \u2014 and travelers earn AAdvantage\u00ae miles and Loyalty Points.<\/p>\n American already offers Landline connections between PHL and four other airports: Allentown\/Bethlehem (PA), Atlantic City (NJ), Wilkes-Barre\/Scranton (PA), and Wilmington (DE). Trenton is the fifth.<\/p>\n \u201cThis kind of connection makes air travel more accessible for more people,\u201d said Atif Saeed, CEO of Philadelphia International Airport. \u201cIt\u2019s a practical and comfortable option for getting to PHL.\u201d<\/p>\n
