Sky Harbor International Airport is located in Phoenix, Arizona. It is located only three miles from the central business district, making it easy to get to with your Sky Harbor International Airport car rentals. It is the main international airport for Arizona and one of the largest in the Southwest United States. It serves as the hub for US Airways and Southwest Airlines, and services many other airlines. Open since before 1935, it is the eighth largest airport in the United States.
Getting around Sky Harbor International Airport
When you visit Sky Harbor International Airport with your car rental, you will come to one of three terminals. The numbers start at 2, since the original terminal from 1952 was torn down in 1990. The administration didn't want to renumber the terminals, so instead they "retired" the number.
Next with your Sky Harbor International Airport car rental you will come to Terminal 2, which opened in 1962 and operates 16 gates on one concourse. Here you will find the Red Carpet Club, which is operated by United Airlines, to relax while you wait for your flight. Many of the airlines that operate here come from across the western part of North America.
Terminal 3 was opened in 1979 with 16 gates on two concourses. Delta Air Lines operates the Crown Club Room here for rest between flights. Many of the airlines that operate here come from the mid-west and the Great Lakes, as well as Hawaii.
Finally there is Terminal 4, which opened in 1990. It is named for former Arizona Senator and Presidential candidate in the 1964 election, Barry M. Goldwater. There are 84 gates here on seven concourses. You will come here with your Sky Harbor International Airport car rental if you are taking an international flight (except for Air Canada, which operates from Terminal 2) and some domestic flights.
User-friendly services
One of the reasons that Sky Harbor is very popular (aside from it being so close to downtown Phoenix with your Sky Harbor International Airport car rental) is that the airport is easy to get to because of all the signs that guide travelers. Once you leave your Sky Harbor International Airport car rental, you will notice that the airport itself is spacious and bright, with many art exhibits that are scattered through the terminals. And once you are here, it doesn't take too long to get around this international airport: the inter-terminal shuttle takes only 10-15 to go around the airport. Instead, you can spend you time here browsing through the stores that continue to open here. Once of the nice things about this airport is the stores don't tend to overcharge for their products, like you may find in some other airports.
Sky Harbor International Airport is the main airport for the Phoenix area, located only minutes from the downtown core with your Sky Harbor International Airport car rental.
