The gift shop next to gate B6 in terminal 4 participates in the Thanks Again program so you can earn mile while you buy your candy bar and magazine!
It only takes 4.5 minutes at a gentle stroll to walk from the security checkpoint to gate A30 so don't stress
Jennifer SantulanFebruary 19, 2014suuuper slow TSA. be sure to get there a little early or you'll miss your flight!
Connecting between flights can seem like an endless series of moving sidewalks. AA hub with multiple Admirals Clubs
Hector GabaMay 24, 2013For those with kids: there is a small play place at gate nine for them to expend some energy!
Kevin NuutAugust 6, 2014A well designed airport with few bottlenecks. No issues in or out on Southwest.
TakoMay 9, 2011I love how PHX is 5th largest airport, yet it is smoother and easier than almost any other. Love ya Phoenix, be back soon
In the mood for a burger? Try "Modern Burger" they make a great burger!
A hub and major connection point for US Airways and Southwest Airlines, if flying any other airline then you will likely face less delays and cancellations due to not being their hub
Reggie WilliamsMarch 16, 2014This Airport is beautiful clean and friendly and very helpful to navigate.
Be prepared to walk a long distance from the gate to baggage claim. Where comfortable shoes.
Leslie Pringle wrrldgrrlSeptember 6, 2013Double check the departures board. It's a long, but pleasant walk if they have changed your gate. :-)
Lisa TraxlerMarch 14, 2012Airport is a big connection point. Wish they had more shops in a central location. Would have loved a nail salon with a 3.5 hr lay over
Bridget CanniffOctober 26, 2010Many have complained about lack of outlets to recharge your phone/laptop, but I found no waiting for barstool/counter space at Southwest plug-in stations near gates D1-8, with great view of runways.
If possible. Stay inside with the air conditioning. After all its phoenix and for sure it's over 100 degrees.
Huge line at ticketing. See the sky cabs outside. Your in and out in a few minutes.....don't forget to tip the guys.
Be sure to leave plenty of time for security. The lines can get LONG here.
Trish EllisJune 19, 2014USClubs and American accept AAdvantage MasterCard executive and a boarding pass for club access
Erik EJanuary 29, 2015Very easy to navigate. Rental car shuttle was a breeze to get to with shuttle.
John SanchezFebruary 28, 2015Got some time to waste? Check out the Sky Harbor Fitness Trail which spans from Gate A30 to D8
On any and all escalators and moving sidewalks in the airport: Stand on the right so people who want to walk can pass you safely on the left.
If you sit near the us airways executive lounge at A5 you can get free wifi!
Danna DavisJanuary 2, 2014SVA shuttle is out door 1 from ground transport. Ask info desk to call for you.
At terminal 2 and the place is dead. Usually through here in the mid afternoon (when the place is crazy ) or morning (when it's a madhouse)
Craig SteverJune 6, 2011If you're using the light rail system - skip the rental car shacks, you get double taxed by the airport. ZipCar all around ASU - and no need if you're hitting downtown Tempe.
Sarah RossioMay 9, 2012If you have a flight after 9, note nothing really open in T2. No bookstores, food, coffee, etc. With all the red-eye flights not too user friendly.
No matter what airline your fly, make sure you're at the gate 45 minutes to an hour prior to departure. Doors close 10 minutes prior to departure. Airplanes don't wait for you, YOU wait for airplanes.
Nice airport... Delta Check-In is quite efficient and so is TSA screening. Starbucks in Terminal 3!
If flying US Airways, pay the extra $10 for preferred status. You get to use the much quicker 1st class security line AND board before zone 1.
Mrs Multi$babyJanuary 6, 2013Make sure you use their Wi-Fi whiles you still waiting. I heard all the terminals where they sell food it taste really good lol.
They've added a Starbucks on the south side of baggage claim. Now you don't have to wait out in the heat/cold for your ride.
Hannah IreneJune 21, 2013If you're looking for somthing that doesn't taste like airport food,Olive and ivy marketplace in the A terminal! So amazing.
Kaz K.June 16, 2015Surprisingly affordable food and water inside the terminals. $2 bottle of waters.
Jyeza 🍄 SavageJune 4, 2012You can only have a 2quart bag with liquid items.. even if a 2gal bag is only filled 1/4 of the way.. everything was regulation.. :-P
The coffee at Cartel coffee lab is AMAZING DONT LEAVE WITHOUT TRYING IT !!! Across from gate C12
They have switched around the family and A-list lines again. Don't run in on auto-pilot!
Small airport, but long skirts equal a pat down, ladies!! Surprise to me...but all are friendly here!!!
Dustin WilliamsAugust 26, 2011Yes we know there is free wifi, but the real tip should be to stay hydrated and wear sun screen outside. Phoenix is HOT!
The Chelsea's kitchen restaurant in terminal 4 is actually very good. It's before security.
You are allowed to bring dogs into the airport. Next time you are picking up a friend, bring your dog inside. Everyone will love it.
One of my favorite restaurants, Barrio Cafe, is now at Terminal 4 in the D gates.
Most of the ticketing counters don't open until about 4. If you have an early flight, either plan on carrying on your bag or waiting in a long line.
