What time should I arrive for my flight?

Asked 2 months ago
When traveling through Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, it is generally recommended that passengers arrive at least two hours before a domestic flight and three hours prior to an international flight. This allows sufficient time for checking in, passing through security screening, and reaching your departure gate. Factors such as the day of the week, time of day, and whether you are checking bags or traveling with children may influence your decision on when to arrive. On busy travel days or during peak hours, arriving earlier can help alleviate stress and ensure you do not risk missing your flight. It is advisable to check the current conditions on the airport's website for the most updated information regarding security wait times and other travel advisories. This proactive approach can help you have a smooth and efficient travel experience.
