Exciting airfare deals to and from Philadelphia!
According to Matrix Airfare Search powered by ITA Software, you can find prices starting at $329 for Regular Economy. If you book using those dates with United, fares will recalculate to $229 for Basic Economy and $329 for Regular Economy.
The $329 fare allows for advance seat selection and a standard carry-on bag.
While United offers a Basic Economy fare at $229, it comes with restrictions. This option does not permit advance seat assignments; instead, seats are assigned randomly during check-in. Additionally, if you wish to bring a carry-on bag that cannot fit under the seat, there is a $35 fee each way, plus any applicable gate check fees (however, this fee is waived for those with a United co-branded credit card or United elite status).
