Travel Tips
Ready For Take-Off
Summer travel is right around the corner, and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is preparing to welcome vacationers, family groups, and fans flying to support their favorite teams in major international soccer matches across the country in June and July. America’s Friendliest Airport® reminds everyone that a little preparation goes a long way. Plan Parking Early – Book your spot in advance at skyharbor.com/parking — spaces fill quickly during peak travel. Even with a reservation, allow extra time to park and reach your terminal. Pack with Purpose – Visit the TSA’s “What Can I Bring?” page before you pack to avoid prohibited items and checkpoint delays. Arrive with Time to Spare – Allow at least two hours before domestic flights and three hours before international departures — especially when traveling with children or groups. Use Early Bag Check – PHX Sky Train® riders can check bags for free at the Rental Car Center and East Economy Parking before entering the terminal, skipping ticket counter lines. Especially helpful for families and seniors. (Car seats and sporting
equipment must be checked at the ticket counter.) Support for Travelers with Special Needs –The Compassion Corner on Level 3 of Terminal 4 offers an all-faiths chapel, an accessibility assistance office, and a sensory room. Compassion Cacti™ lanyards discreetly signal airport staff that a traveler may need extra support. Navigator Support Guides are also available. The free Aira app provides real-time visual interpreting and wayfinding assistance for travelers who are blind or have low vision throughout Terminal 3, Terminal 4, the PHX Sky Train®, and the Rental Car Center. Expedite Security – PHX RESERVE lets you schedule a security screening time up to six days ahead at skyharbor.com/PHXRESERVE.
– TSA PreCheck® Touchless ID uses facial recognition for faster screening in both terminals. – CLEAR+ eGates offer biometric identity verification for members. – Travelers without ID can use TSA ConfirmID, a fee-based alternative verification process. Need Help? – Look for volunteer Navigators in purple throughout the terminals, or use Amelia, the AI digital assistant at skyharbor.com, for quick answers on parking, amenities, and more.
