Prepare for a Busy Holiday Season
It’s hard to believe with 100-degree days barely in our rearview mirrors that holiday travel is around the corner. But soon schools will be on break again and vacation plans will be set as students and families will be traveling.
America’s Friendliest Airport® continue to see record numbers of passengers this year and it is going to be even busier as people escape the Valley for some winter fun.
It’s important for travelers to plan ahead. Here are some travel tips:
- Make parking a breeze. With heavy crowds expected during overlapping school breaks, book your parking in advance. Our Sky Harbor Parking program makes it easy to reserve your parking up to six months in advance. Enjoy our convenient parking options in the terminal garages or various economy options. Take advantage of economy parking at the 24th Street PHX Sky Train® Station, an easy option for who live west or north of the airport.
- Arrive early. We will be busy in November and December, and it is imperative that travelers give themselves enough time. Arrive at least two hours early if you are flying domestically, and three if you are flying internationally.
- Remember to look through your bags. Prior to arriving at the airport, check carry-on bags or purses for TSA Prohibited Items.
- Need a rental car? Reserve in advance. Coming in from out of town? It is recommended you reserve a rental car in advance. Vehicles may be limited for walk-up customers.
