Harrisburg, PA Airport Information
Harrisburg International Airport (MDT)
Approximate taxi fare: $31 USD
Harrisburg International Airport is a one-terminal facility located in the southeast portion of the city in Middletown. Remodeled and expanded in 2004, the airport is the United States' first multi-modal airport terminal complex to have been conceived and built since September 11, 2001. As Pennsylvania's 3rd busiest airport, it provides non-stop service to over 100 domestic locations and cities in Canada. One-stop service is offered to a number of cities across the globe.
While waiting for flights, passengers can enjoy wide range of food and beverage services. Casual options at the second-floor food court include McDonald's and Hershey's Ice Cream, while the Varsity Grill & Sports Bar offers a full-service option. For those interested in last-minute gifts, the Perfectly Pennsylvania gift store is located just beyond security. Additionally, members of the frequent flier Susquehanna Club can relax in a private lounge in Concourse A, complete with televisions, computers and a fax machine. Free wireless Internet access and Internet kiosks are located throughout the terminal.
Perhaps the airport's most impressive amenity is the four-story Multi-Modal Transportation facility, which handles all ground transportation. Passengers can access it through the comfortable, climate-controlled Skybridge that connects passengers to the terminal. The top three levels of this facility have room for more than 2,500 cars, and the first level is for limos, taxis, hotel shuttles, buses and a rental car lot. A daily parking garage and a long-term lot are available. Daily maximums are $15 for short-term parking and $5 for long-term parking with a $30 weekly maximum.
