Airport & Transportation

By Air

Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport (PHX), dubbed as America's Friendliest Airport, is the main airport serving the Greater Phoenix area. It serves more than 39 million passengers a year, and goes to more than 100 domestic and international destinations, making it one of the 10 busiest airports in the nation. With about 1,200 daily flights - about 500 nonstop - Sky Harbor is one of the most convenient airports.

Sky Harbor airport is the only airport in the country with two major low-fare carriers (US Airways and Southwest Airlines), which is one of the reasons its average round-trip airfare has been below the national average for the past 13 years.
