Travelers flying through Trenton-Mercer Airport will be able to connect to Philadelphia International Airport by bus—thanks to a new partnership between American Airlines and Landline.
The route, starting on Monday, Sept. 22, marks the latest expansion of the airline’s bus-to-plane network.
While the new Trenton-to-Philadelphia leg isn’t a flight, it offers several of the same benefits.
Buses will depart and arrive “airside,” meaning passengers will already have cleared TSA security. Checked luggage will be transferred directly, and travelers can earn or redeem AAdvantage miles.
American Airlines and Landline will operate three daily trips in each direction. Departures from Trenton are scheduled for 6:45 a.m., 12 p.m., and 4:30 p.m. Buses leave Philadelphia for Trenton at 8:30 a.m., 2 p.m., and 6:40 p.m. The ride takes about 50 minutes.
“By this fall, Landline will feed over 1,500 daily seats into American’s Philadelphia hub from five Northeast cities,” said Nick Johnson, vice president and head of revenue at Landline. “This unlocks seamless global connectivity for hundreds of thousands of travelers each year.”
Landline also connects American Airlines passengers at Philadelphia with Atlantic City International Airport, Lehigh Valley International Airport, Wilmington Airport in Delaware, and Wilkes-Barre Scranton International Airport.
