1. It’s easy and affordable to fly here: More than 1,200 aircraft arrive and depart Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport each day. Sky Harbor also is a hub for two low-cost carriers (Southwest and US Airways), so you get value with all that volume. Another perk at our airport: free WiFi, everywhere for everybody. 2. Getting around is a breeze: The airport is located four miles from the Phoenix Convention Center and 10 miles from Scottsdale. A one-way pass on METRO light rail costs $2, and the typical taxi fare from the airport to downtown hotels is $15. 3. Guest rooms galore: Greater Phoenix is home to about 500 hotels and 62,000 guest rooms. Many of these rooms are found at beautiful resorts with full-service conference facilities, while others are located within walking distance of the convention center or light rail line.
