Phoenix Flights

Let’s get it out of the way: Yes, there are cowboys in Phoenix. You’ll see plenty of snakeskin boots and big belt buckles, but “Arizona’s Urban Heart” has lots more to offer, like vibrant arts, distinctive food, and of course tons of sunshine. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t bring those boots though—pack ’em up and board your flight to Phoenix!

Getting Around Phoenix

You can use the light rail to get from Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) to hotels in Phoenix, but the city centre is only 6km from the airport, so a cab ride is easy and cheap. Wide-open spaces and well-designed roads mean that in Phoenix, cars rule. Look into Wotif’s sweet car hire deals for the best way to get around.

When You Land…

In the words of the Looney Tunes roadrunner, “Meep meep”! Morning flyers can stop at the Desert Botanical Garden to get acquainted with lizards, giant saguaro cacti and yes, roadrunners.

Those on flights to Phoenix landing in the afternoon will be just in time for tea at the Japanese Friendship Garden.

If you’re arriving after dark, befriend the locals at the downtown pubs and get the inside scoop on hot happenings.

Need more neon in your life? It’s easy to add Las Vegas holidays, just an hour’s flight north, to your tour of the American Southwest.

Live Like a Local

Phoenix’s secret is out: Roosevelt Row is where it’s at (although you’ll want to call it “RoRo” to really fit in). The downtown artists’ enclave is home to galleries, boutiques, community gardens and more, and the First Friday art walk is the place to see and be seen. If you’re not in town then, don’t worry. You’ve got a good chance of running into free wine and cheese on any Friday. Bring some back for us, will you?

No cowboy boots of your own? That’s alright. Wotif’s cheap flights to Phoenix will leave you with plenty of cash to buy a pair—and shout a round for the locals at the country line dance, too.
