Have You Heard – Plane Spotting Locations at Phoenix Sky Harbor

Phoenix Sky Harbor offers several great spots for aircraft enthusiasts to safely enjoy plane spotting and photography. Whether you’re an avid plane spotter or just enjoy watching planes, there are several ideal locations to explore.

The most accessible and secure places for plane spotting are in designated public areas. Top recommended spots include:

  • Terminal 4 Parking Garage Rooftop
  • Terminal 3 Parking Garage Rooftop
  • Terminal 3 PHX Sky Train® Station as it features views of the center and south runways.

For ticketed passengers inside the secured area, the Terminal 4 D concourses and Terminal 3 south concourse provide excellent views of the center and south runways as well. Passengers can also get an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at operations through our Sky Harbor Fitness Trail from Gate A30 to Gate D18 in Terminal 4.
