Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX) Airport

Phoenix Sky Harbor PHX Airport Overview


Phoenix Sky Harbor International PHX Airport is located 3 miles east of downtown Phoenix, Arizona, and surrounded by Routes 202 & 51, I-17 and SR 60, and accessible via I-10. The Airport is served by a host of domestic and international airlines offering direct and connecting flights to all points of the globe. Connecting Flights: If you are connecting to a flight on another airline, you may have to change terminals. Prior thereto, confirm whether you must claim your luggage and re-check it. Most international flights arrive at Terminal 4, Level 3, east end near Starbucks. For flights from Canada, check with the airline for terminal and gate information, as sometimes customs and immigration clearance takes place in the Canadian departure area. To change terminals at Sky Harbor, you must leave the secure area and catch the inter-terminal bus at the curb. If you are changing planes, plan calculate into your time the time to claim your luggage and re-check it (if necessary), change terminals (if necessary) and pass through security for your next flight.

Sky Harbor Airport consists of three terminals--Terminals 2, 3 and 4. Each terminal has its own parking garage, shops, restaurants, and ground transportation. Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport has made customer service its top priority, second only to safety and security. Free Wi-Fi is provided in all terminals on both sides of security, in retail and restaurant areas and near the gates (laptops or other devices will connect to the Internet when powered up near the shops and gates). Military members, veterans and their families have a VIP area of their own just upstairs from the Terminal 2 lobby, and equipped with sofas and chairs, computers, large-screen televisions, games, a kitchen & children’s play area, and free snacks & soft drinks. Sky Harbor also offers three pet relief areas (cleaning mitts provided) with water: The Pet Patch just east of Terminal 2; the Paw Pad just outside of the west doors of Terminal 3, and the Bone Yard on the west side of Terminal 4, just outside of baggage claim, level 1.

If you need to pick up a passenger at the Airport, use one of the two free Cell Phone Lots located east of Terminal 4 and west of Terminal 2 parking garages. The lots have a total of 90 spaces, signage with all airline telephone numbers, an electronic flight information display, and an attendant from 7am-1am. --stay with your car until your party has collected luggage and calls you to be picked up at the curb. If you need more than 30 minutes, use the dedicated short-term parking spaces in the parking garages. Other parking options include:
