Woof-Worthy Travel Tips from Cooper the PHX Doggie Director

Hi there, travelers! Cooper, your trusted Doggie Director here ready to make your holiday travel as smooth as a freshly groomed coat. The holidays are my favorite time of year, so many people to meet and treats to sniff. My friends the Navigator Buddies and I have put together the best tips to help you navigate America’s Friendliest Airport® like a pro.

Dash through the terminals with ease with these paw-some tips:

  • Nobody likes traffic. Skip the terminal curb congestion and get to the fun part faster by picking up and dropping off at our 24th Street or 44th Street PHX Sky Train® Stations. Learn more about the PHX Sky Train®.
  • Sniff out your parking spot early! Reserve your parking ahead of time at skyharbor.com/parking. It’s like marking your territory, guaranteed and stress-free.
  • Double check your pack. Before your flight, sniff through your bags and make sure there’s nothing on the TSA prohibited items list.
  • Stay updated and always be in the know! Check your flight status before heading to the airport.
  • Skip the line. Use the PHX RESERVE program schedule your time to go through the TSA Security Checkpoints. Less time waiting means more time for belly rubs.
  • Fetch directions from Navigators dressed in purple. They’re like the ultimate pack leaders and will always help you find your way and ensure your journey is paws-itively perfect.
