Phoenix Sky Harbor PHX Airport Overview

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport PHX is the primary Airport of Arizona and one of the country's major airports. Having celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2010, it markets itself as 'America's Friendliest Airport'.

Sky Harbor Airport is located 3 miles east of downtown Phoenix, in Maricopa County, and is surrounded by the Papago Freeway,  24th Street, Washington Street, 44th Street and Hohokam Expwy, and can be accessed from Routes 202 & 51, I-17 , I-10, and SR 60.

With three long parallel runways and an estimated 38.5 million passengers a year, Phoenix Sky Harbor International is the primary regional hub and gateway to Mexico for US Airways, the third-largest hub for commuter airline Great Lakes, and focus city for Southwest (PHX's largest airline). PHX is served by a host of airlines offering direct and connecting flights to all points of the globe.

The passenger terminal complex at Sky Harbor Airport consists of three terminals -T2, T3 and the large T4.  Until SkyTrain's completion of stage 1 in 2013, shuttle buses continue to run between the 3 terminals, parking garages & Light Rail stop. (For detailed terminal information click on 'Terminal Maps'.)

Parking options at Phoenix Sky Harbor include a cell phone lot, Short-Term Garages, West Economy lot within walking distance of T2; East Economy Lots near T4; Terminal 2 Upper Level Economy Lot; East Economy Garages A & B (on 44th St.). For more parking information, click on 'Airport Parking'.)

The Rental Car Center,
is west of Sky Harbor Airport, at 1805 East Sky Harbor Circle South, between 16th & 24th Streets. It houses all the airport rental car company counters and fleets and offers a 'Fresh Gourmet to Go' store for food & sundries. A free multi-colored Rental Car Shuttle runs every 5-10 minutes between the terminal curbs at the baggage claim level to the Rental Car Center. Prior reservations are highly recommended.  As cars are limited for walk-up customers, it is highly recommended to make prior reservation.

To get from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport to your destination, you have the option of renting a car, taking a taxi or limo, or a shuttle to the METRO light rail stop:
A free shuttle bus connects to the 44th Street and Washington Street METRO light rail stop from all three Airport terminals. These buses which also accommodate baggage, are silver & black, showing a 'METRO Light Rail & Airport Terminals' display, and running  daily tailored to the light rail schedule.
Or you can take bus Routes 13, 15 & 40 to the City.
The SuperShuttle runs 24/7 on a schedule and vans leave every 15 minutes, 9am-9pm.
Van terminal access is at Terminal 2--north curbside; Terminal 3--north & south curbside; and Terminal 4--level 1, north and south curbside.

Future Airport Developments: 1. Terminal 4 is getting another concourse. 
2. The Phoenix Sky Train will, upon completion of its Stage 1in early 2013, enable passengers to transfer between the Metro light rail station at 44th Street & Washington to the East Economy Parking Area to Terminal 4.  By 2015 the train will continue to Terminal 3 with a walkway to Terminal 2.

Phoenix Sky Harbor PHX Comments

  •  

    One passenger explains the terminal layout of Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, and another discloses some of the International Terminal 4's details. Travelers also present their parking preference, offer points on picking up a passenger, on where to park in the garage at economy prices, and on how to access the economy lots. Some traveler lament that food & drink establishments close as early as 4:30pm, which is ahead of evening flight departures, and that a 45-minute average to retrieve a bag has become the norm. Another traveler finds that both shops & restaurant are plentiful in Terminal 4, including its gate areas. Passengers like the computerized PAL stations where they can page someone, and others point out that the rental car counters are located in a separate building accessible by shuttle bus, and strongly advise of making prior reservations. A traveler itemizes current airline locations, and another is hinting at the future PHX Sky Train transferring passengers between Terminal 4, the economy lot and the Metro light rail by 2013.

  • Air Canada flight 0943

     

    What terminal does AC flight 0943 from Toronto Jan 12 come in at?

     

  • High-Profile Parking

     

    The high-profile parking for Sky Harbor is NOT on top of the Terminal 4 lot, as currently indicated on this page, but rather located at street level, just to the east of Terminal 4. I verified that by calling the info number given here.

     

  • Transitting

     

    Hi! Husband transitting through Phoenix with a short layover time (both US Airways and ticketed together, 50 minutes between arrival and departure times). Arrives at gate B18, departs gate A24. As far as I can see these are different concourses in the same terminal - T4. Will he need to go through security or can he go from gate to gate? US Airways ticketed it so I assume it's doable!

     

  • US Airways transferring to United

     

    I am flying in from Hawaii on a United flight operated by US Airways and then transfer to a United operating flight to Chicago. I gather I will need to change terminals..? If so, will I need to exit and re-enter security? And will I need to recheck my bags? I only have an hour layover, will this be enough time?

     

  • Which terminal for pickup
