12 Days of Gratitude

12 Days of Gratitude Returns Early to PHX

Popular program arrives Nov. 19

America’s Friendliest Airport® is starting the holiday season early with the November return of the 12 Days of Gratitude. This program is designed to give appreciation to our travelers and customers with airport giveaways and activities taking place throughout Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.

The program is starting in November – earlier than previous years – to spread cheer to our Thanksgiving holiday travelers. The Thanksgiving holiday weekend is historically the busiest travel period at Phoenix Sky Harbor outside of special events.

Beginning Nov. 19, customers will find activities taking place over 12 days in each terminal where they can win prizes, take a photo with our mascot Amelia the Airplane or a Navigator Buddy, and participate in an art activity. Guests can look for our Navigators in the purple jackets for a chocolate treat, and our PHX team led by Amelia will be looking for passengers to surprise with giveaways.
