Methodology: learn how we calculate these charts

The charts “When is the cheapest time to fly?”, “How far in advance should I book?”, “What's the cheapest day of the week to fly?” and “What do round-trip flights from Charlotte to Philadelphia cost?” are built from the prices Priceline customers actually paid for flights on this route over the past 12 months or more.

Where a route has too few bookings to fill every point in a chart, we borrow the shape of the curve from a group of routes with similar price behavior and fit it to the fares booked on this route.

Because past fares don’t reflect today’s market, we then adjust the historical prices for current conditions such as inflation and fuel costs, using the round-trip fares found in recent searches on this route.

The chart “When is the best time of day to fly?” is calculated directly from the fares found in recent searches, not from historical bookings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about flying from Charlotte to Philadelphia.

What is the typical flight duration from Charlotte to Philadelphia?

Charlotte to Philadelphia is about 448 miles. The typical nonstop flight takes 1 hour 44 minutes outbound, with the return leg at 1 hour 52 minutes. The return direction is slightly longer, though the difference is small.
Methodology
Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.

Are there any direct flights from Charlotte to Philadelphia?

American Airlines and Frontier Airlines fly non-stop from Charlotte to Philadelphia, both operating daily. American runs eight flights a day, while Frontier runs two, for a combined 68 weekly non-stop flights. Every non-stop flight on this route operates seven days a week.
Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

What are the ground transportation options in Philadelphia?

Getting from Philadelphia International Airport to Center City is straightforward, with taxis offering a flat $32 fare to the Center City zone, rideshare pickup at Zone 7, and SEPTA's Airport Regional Rail Line providing train service every 30 minutes directly from the terminals. Three SEPTA bus routes (37, 108, and 115) also serve the airport for budget travelers, while rental car counters are located in a nearby facility with shuttle access. The SEPTA train is the most-used option for its speed and low cost, typically reaching 30th Street Station in about 25 minutes, while taxis and rideshares offer door-to-door convenience at a higher price.

When is the cheapest time to fly from Charlotte to Philadelphia?

Fares from Charlotte to Philadelphia are lowest in early February, around $241. February is the cheapest month overall, averaging $245, followed by January ($254) and April ($258). June is the most expensive month at about $303, and fares peak in late June at about $309. The yearly average is $272. Fares are adjusted to current market conditions.
Methodology
Seasonal fares come from Priceline's own air booking-summary archive, analysed in-house and refreshed monthly. For each day of the year we take a representative round-trip fare, a blend of the 25th-percentile and average ticket price over the route's bookings, and smooth the series into a seasonal curve; the half-month low and high and the monthly figures quoted here are averages of that curve. Thin and international routes borrow their seasonal shape from the nearest busy routes, with the price level anchored to the route's own bookings.

How far in advance should I book tickets from Charlotte to Philadelphia?

Book about 5 weeks before departure for the best fares from Charlotte to Philadelphia, around $242. Booking in the final days before the flight costs about $398, $156 more. Booking six months ahead runs about $482. Fares are adjusted to current market conditions.
Methodology
Booking-window guidance comes from the same monthly in-house analysis of Priceline's own air booking-summary archive. We aggregate the route's bookings by how many days before departure they were made, from about 180 days out to the day of travel, smooth the curve, and highlight the stretch of lead times with the lowest average fare. Thin and international routes borrow the curve shape from the nearest busy routes, anchored to the route's own price level. It reflects current fares and is refreshed monthly.

Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Charlotte to Philadelphia?

Yes, American Airlines operates a daily nonstop red-eye from Charlotte to Philadelphia, departing around 10:29 PM and landing just after midnight at 12:22 AM. It's a late-night flight that arrives in the early hours of the next day, not the next morning.
Methodology
Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times and block times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes. A flight counts as a red-eye when it departs in the afternoon or evening (3 p.m. or later local time) or in the early hours before 4 a.m., and is in the air at some point between midnight and 4 a.m. local time at both its departure airport and its arrival airport. An evening flight that lands before midnight at its destination is never counted, nor is a morning departure or a daytime long-haul that reaches the next calendar date only because of time zones. Each red-eye is labelled with its timing (for example, overnight and landing the next morning, or late-night and landing after midnight). For connecting itineraries the same rule is applied to the longer leg, from one representative day's flight search.

Which airlines usually operate this route from Charlotte to Philadelphia?

American Airlines and Frontier Airlines operate non‑stop from Charlotte to Philadelphia, with American running up to 8 daily departures (56 weekly flights) and Frontier offering 2 daily departures (12 weekly flights). Both airlines fly the route every day of the week. American is a oneworld member, while Frontier is not part of any global alliance.
Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a typical fare is shown for a carrier, it is the median of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

How reliable are on‑time arrivals on this route from Charlotte to Philadelphia?

American Airlines is the most reliable carrier on the Charlotte to Philadelphia route, with 76.5% of its flights arriving within 15 minutes of schedule and a 1.5% cancellation rate. Frontier Airlines is less dependable, with an on-time arrival rate of 58.8% and a 3.0% cancellation rate.
Methodology
On-time arrival and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, which covers U.S. domestic routes only; a flight counts as on time when it arrives within 15 minutes of schedule. Carriers are ranked by arrival on-time rate on this route, and the carrier list itself comes from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI).

Which airport should I use in Philadelphia?

Philadelphia International Airport is the only major airport serving the city. It is about 7 miles southwest of downtown and well connected by SEPTA rail. American Airlines uses it as a hub, and most flights from Charlotte arrive here.

How do I get to Douglas Intl Airport from the city center?

Getting to Douglas Intl Airport from downtown Charlotte is easy with several solid options. The Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) Sprinter bus connects the airport to uptown at a low cost, while ride-share services like Uber and Lyft and taxis (with a $32 flat rate to uptown) offer door-to-door convenience in about 15–20 minutes. Driving yourself is also popular, with on-site parking and complimentary shuttles from the lots, though ride-share and taxis tend to be the fastest and most hassle-free for most travelers.

What aircraft are typically used on flights from Charlotte to Philadelphia?

American Airlines operates the most flights on the Charlotte to Philadelphia route, using Airbus A321, Airbus A320, Boeing 737-800, and Boeing 737 family aircraft. Frontier Airlines flies the route with Airbus A320 family aircraft.
Methodology
Aircraft types come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.
