The Dairy Cafe

Thanks, but looks like a 40 minute drive from PHL (and a costly cab ride). Anything closer? Downtown?

Without traffic it's a 20 minute drive not 40. What time of the day do you plan on going?

Downtown - you can go to Mama's Vegetarian.

Plenty of scoupers around the stadium.

Did anyone ever stay in the Sheraton suite PHL airport? Due to bed configuration and points, that's what we booked to stay with 2 kids for 2 nights.

zow's Philadelphia mini-TR.
Part 1. Departure from CVG.

CVG, and maybe Cincinnati in general, seems very navigable. They were using a randomization process at security that dumped us into an expedited screening line. Like the good old days!

We are flying on a Canadair CL-65 CVG-PHL. It is US Airways Express operated by Air Wisconsin. I suppose all of these subsidiaries will fall under AA soon, or maybe already. It is a 2-2 configuration. Looks like about 12 or 14 rows. One class only. We used Avios 4500 pp.

No Admiral Lounge in CVG.

First stop is Penn. See you soon!
