Arrive early and enjoy a meal/drinks @ Chelsea's Kitchen in Terminal 4. It's located BEFORE security checkpoint so your family & friends can join! Great food, chill vibe, and handsome bartenders.

Dave McFebruary 13, 2019Really an awesome airport that’s not too crowded and easy to get in and out of. This place just makes you feel comfortable.

Anna HenningsMay 25, 2014Terminal 4, C gates: go to Cartel Coffee Lab! Chemex, Aeropress, V60 & Clever-brewed single origin coffee! Plus, *actual* espresso drinks (not the Starbucks crap).

Dianna StampflerApril 11, 2016Four Peaks Brewery is open later than other bars and restaurants in the airport - pub food and craft beer! Near A20-A21.

Brittany SanchezJuly 31, 2013One of the only airports that I've been too with the best food options. If you're looking for a full meal that tastes good make sure to check out the restaurants.Upvoted Oct 12
When flying internationally the customs here is pretty easy and quick.
This airport has an excellent art program. Take the time to seek it out and don't forget to see if they are offering free artistic postcards too!
Great local food options, clean bathrooms and plenty of seating. There is a good reason it is continually rated one of the top airports in the country.
You don't need to go to your terminal if you have your tickets already. Just go through security at the first place you see on the correct side and take the moving walkways on the opposite side.
Theron WallSeptember 27, 2018Great food & coffee options, efficient and clean, even when it is crowded it doesn’t feel claustrophobic. Plus, literally the only place in the world where you can ride a train OVER a plane.
Paul SauerMay 11, 2018The property staff are very friendly and eager to help. I also noticed, everybody that needed assistance got it. The same person assisted them, until no longer needed!
Gregg PullanoMay 26, 2019Very nice, at least in Terminal 4 where American has their hub. Clean, well lit and overall very modern Terminal with some good food options. Flights go all over N. America and Europe.

Great food options, coffee and services throughout. Excellent shoe shine at the A Gates right next to Peet’s coffee. Easy for B and C gates too.
Best airport name ever! Sky Harbor! Come on!!! So awesome! AND the carpet has an airplane pattern! Best carpet too. :-) Can’t forget how great it feels to fly away from the heat or back to the cool.❤️
Ira SerkesJanuary 16, 2012Renting a car? Take the bus to the Rental Car Center (RCC). It's about a 10 minute ride 3 miles away. When returning the car, it's easier to get to RCC by I-10 or I-17 than going through the airport.
Upstairs at T4 by the Sky Train is not a bad place to wait especially if you have time before a flight from another terminal like the sucky-ass T2. Plugs, comfy seating, and food!
Free wifi is a + a minus is if you are renting a car here be sure to leave enough time. This is one instance where 2 hours before a flight applies.
The signs don't lie, this is one of the friendliest airports in the US. Get there early as TSA can get backed up and the rental car facility is about 15 minutes away.
MitchApril 16, 2019Very nice airport in Phoenix. Terminals are somewhat spread out. Free wifi. Lots of grab snd go food available if you have limited time between connections.
Try all of the local food in Terminal 4! Four Peaks is the local brewery and a must have.
RossMay 20, 2019Looking for a souvenir? Scorpion lollipops are a popular Arizona souvenir novelty or gag gift. The unique candy is apparently the airport's best selling item.
If you're in Terminal 4, best food is at Sir Veza's for Mexican or Four Peaks Brewery for local brewpub fare. Cant go wrong with a Cartel Coffee Lab brew, either.
Great choice of food in terminal 4, both A and B sides of terminal. Cowboy Ciao by B16 is great.
Burgers are lower priced and equally tasty at Modern Burger on lower A concourse. On Upper A deluxe burger is twice price.
Richard RevillaApril 23, 2023Smooth Operation to get through security. There is a Monorail now that takes you to the Car Rental Center.
Very nice airport. Good selection of restaurants and prices aren't too bad. Pretty good sushi in the American terminal too!
Jenn MesenbrinkDecember 13, 2019Small, simple airport; quick trip through TSA (no line this Friday morning). If flying United—Paradise Bakery & Cafe has a yummy egg white, avocado and spinach sandwich at breakfast time! ✈️
Elvis KibitiNovember 27, 2021Short on open restaurants, line at every meal place fast food included and if you get in to an actual restaurant they all have reduced menus to simple sandwiches. And they all close kitchen by 5pm
Best futuristic feature of Phoenix: take the sky train to 24th street station. On the way, download the Waymo app and order an autonomous vehicle take you downtown. It’s easy
Like planes? Have some time to kill? There's a great runway view w/ departures and arrivals over at gate D7. Join like-minded folks on twitter. Search for #planespotting & #avgeek. — Your pal, @User47Upvoted Sep 16
Jessica LockeJune 24, 2013Go to Blanco Taco+Tequila in Terminal 4! Probably the best meal I've ever had in an airport. Had the braised short rib & avocado cheese crisps & the white peach & hibiscus margarita. Delicious!
Eat at Sauce. The food is delicious, fast, the service is excellent and the atmosphere rocks. It doesn't feel like an airport restaurant.
The airport outposts of local restaurants have street pricing - meaning you won't be gouged by outrageous airport food pricing. Prices in airport are the same as the outside restaurant.
Try the 'Don't fly as much as me because your kids are growing up so much and you're missing it' special. It's a can't miss!
Richard BoardmanMay 19, 2014Got an hour to kill? Stretch your legs with a wander around the rectangle of terminals. Infinite walkways! Wacky carpet! Note it's not a full loop. You can only cross n/s from b to c at the east end.
Andra ZapartanMarch 5, 2016I love this airport. It has lots of bars/lounges/restaurants and they all look awesome.
Massive airport, free WiFi, lots and lots of options in the desk area and also in the gates, bars, wine bars, lunch, dinner, etc.
Walk around. There is plenty of interesting stuff to see, places to eat, and shops to browse. Sitting will shorten your life span anyway.
Sarah SwitzerFebruary 12, 2015This airport is pretty good. I've always gotten through security quickly, and never had to walk too far to get to my gate. As a mom, the park and walk long term parking is horrendous, however.
One of the easiest airports to get through, I’ve never waited in line once with pre-check at United Terminal 3. Literally can arrive 30 mins before flight boards & soar through TSA.
- Yan BaczkowskiMay 15, 2015I love this airport. I think it is well built, and easy to get around with great amenities and fast security. I hope that it keeps up good direct service with the merger
Scenic views of the mountains and rock formations. Busy, yet quiet airport. I dig it...pun intended
I like this port for the Wi-fi and Mexican food. Don't like the rental car distance so much. Get a seat. And men, give up your seat to a woman if it's crowded. Chivalry is always appreciated.
Jerry FergusonFebruary 11, 2013The Paradise Bakery & Cafe right across from Southwest gate C14 turned out to be a great lunch stop. The Paradise Club sandwich was excellent and the service is outstanding.
Bridget HargraveJuly 31, 2014According to several site this airport is ecig friendly. And from the rescarch we are conducting this seems to be factual as we have not gotten kicked out yet! 👍😜 #smokersoftheairportunite #blu
The only person who was friendly upon my entry was the person trying to sell me Clear. No benefit to precheck here either. Just sat down at SanTan though, and so far everyone here has been awesome.
MeliSeptember 2, 2014Because it's usually 100+ degrees outside, they blast the AC inside the airport, making it feel like the North Pole, so bring a sweater if you're stopping here. There's also free wifi and charge ports
try a big fluffy english muffin at la grande orange in the D terminal (or on 40th street outside of the airport)....and enjoy my lovely hometown if youre stayin ^____^
Welcome to Phoenix! This airport is conveniently located near downtown. Lots of food options. For some reason the air above Phoenix is always a little bumpy upon landing and taking off.
