A welcome space for U.S. service members and their families at Philadelphia airport.

About this lounge

The USO Center at Philadelphia International is a hospitality space for the U.S. military rather than a commercial airport lounge. It welcomes U.S. Armed Forces active-duty, Reserve and Guard service members, along with their families, offering a quiet, comfortable place to rest, recharge and regroup while travelling. The center provides complimentary snacks, a hot buffet and soft drinks. Because it serves the military community specifically, there is no public day-pass or membership entry — access is limited to eligible service members and their families. If you're a civilian traveller looking for a lounge at PHL, the airline, Amex and Priority Pass options elsewhere in the airport are the relevant choices.
