Getting ready for Philadelphia International Airport (PHL).

The Quiet Room, in PHL's words

“The Quiet Room is a space designed to provide a calm, low-stimulation environment away from the noise, crowds, and bright lights of the terminal.”

“Pick up a free Sunflower lanyard at any airport information desk after security”

“Staff throughout the terminal are trained to recognize the Sunflower and offer support when needed.”

• Sunflower lanyards are at the information desks at Terminal A-East Intersection (Floor 2), Terminal B Intersection (Floor 2), Gates A17/A18 (Floor 2), Terminal C Intersection (Floor 2) and the Terminal F Food Court (Floor 1). PHL's Hidden Disabilities story adds that you don't need a Sunflower lanyard to get any PHL program or service.
• PHL's Access for All stories walk through the airport ahead of time; the Hidden Disabilities story lists headphones and a blanket as comfort items to bring.
• When it opened in 2018, PHL described the Quiet Room as a 315-square-foot room with two open areas separated by frosted glass for semi-privacy, each with built-in wooden benches and a circular rug inset in the floor, plus a foot bath for passengers who cleanse before prayer. PHL called it a place of silence for anyone who wants solitude or prayer, so it is a shared, silent space that other travelers may use to pray. PHL's Access for All guide calls it the Accessible Quiet Room.
• There's a Play Area in Terminal F near Gate F17. PHL's Wagging Tails Brigade therapy dogs visit the terminals at select times, and visiting them is always optional.
