Why you should take a flight to Phoenix
Experience all the attractions Phoenix, Southwest's biggest city, has to offer by taking one of our cheap flights to Phoenix. The Valley of the Sun has something for everybody, whether you like shopping, the arts, nature or history. You can visit vibrant Copper Square in the downtown area and attend some of the more than 3,000 events held there every year. Or you can tour one of the many downtown museums, take in a show or a symphony, or refresh yourself at one of the district’s 90 restaurants and bars. You will also have the chance to see St. Mary’s Basilica, which houses the region’s largest collection of stained glass. Downtown is also the home of many historic neighborhoods. The Roosevelt Historic District hosts the First Friday artwalk, the largest event of its kind in America, which should be enough in itself to make any art lover want to take a flight to Phoenix. For the best historical experience, take a trip to Historic Heritage Square on the east side of downtown, where you will find many 19th- and early-20th-century buildings. While there, you can also grab lunch at nationally renowned Pizzeria Bianco.
Even more historical treasures await those who travel a little north after taking a cheap flight to Phoenix. The Pioneer Living History Village recreates life in a 19th- century frontier town. With discount tickets available for those under 18 and free admission for all children under 5, the village is a top reason why booking cheap flights to Phoenix is a great idea for a family vacation. The same is true of the Deer Valley Rock Art Center, which preserves for visitors the petroglyphs left behind at the Hedgpeth Hills by earlier inhabitants of the Phoenix area. Affordable Phoenix flights take you to all these places and many more.
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) is three miles (4.8km) from downtown Phoenix, and is the biggest and busiest airport in Arizona. It's a hub for both US Airways and Southwest Airlines, which offer flights to Phoenix Sky Harbor International from a large number of airports across the US and Mexico.
Phoenix itself is a sprawling metropolitan area in the Sonoran Desert, with hot, dry summers and mild winters. It has a number of sports attractions, museums, golf courses and even an aquarium.
If you're heading into town, consider hiring a car – although the Metro line is fairly user-friendly, the city is very car-centered and you'll probably find it easier to have your own wheels.
