Sky Harbor International Airport: America's Friendliest Airport® continues to see a record numbers of passengers. If flying domestically, arrive at least two hours early. If flying internationally, arrive three hours early. Make sure to leave extra time for parking. Our Sky Harbor Parking program makes it easy to reserve parking up to six months in advance.

The holiday season is traditionally one of the busiest times of the year — and not just in the skies but on roads around the airport. Take advantage of our 24th Street or 44th Street PHX Sky Train® Station for pick-up and drop-off. This will be the first holiday season that both stations are open for passenger pick up and drop off. The stations are located on each side of the airport at 44th Street on the eastside and 24th Street on the westside. Learn more about this easy way to avoid terminal curb congestion and roadway traffic.

Expect heavy crowds picking up and dropping off loved ones from the airport. Avoid circling the terminals. Use the Cell Phone Lots. The lots are east of Terminal 4, west of the West Economy Garage and at the 44th Street PHX Sky Train® Station.
