| - The airport is great. The airlines suck. But since this is a review for the airport itself, I'll ignore how terrible, terrible the tenants are.
The facility itself is nice. It's small and made up of several buildings. It's not particularly close to town, but it's not that far away, and if you need to fly out of here, it's not inconvenient, and traffic to and from is very light.
There is a pretty good restaurant and bar on site with good grub and affordable prices, and there are the usual airport shops. The best part is the outdoor area (weird for an airport - I know). There is a sort of courtyard between all the buildings, and considering the usual pleasantness of Phoenix weather, it's a nice relaxing place to sit while waiting for a flight. It beats sitting in a terminal!
Oh, and they have free wi-fi, so you can stream movies to your computer or phone, which is especially nice since cellular service sucks out that far (at least on AT&T).
Because of the size, security is a breeze. On-site parking is very close. You could park, walk to the terminal, and get through security in 10 minutes (though you should always get to an airport early).
Parking is cheap. Not much more to say about that.
OH, BONUS TIP! If you go to school at ASU or work at ASU and have an ASU parking permit, this airport is right next to the Polytechnic Campus. Like right next to campus. Most ASU permits have reciprocal parking privileges at the Polytechnic Campus, so check to see if yours does. If you can park there (which almost anyone with an ASU permit can), you can park on campus and walk an extra five minutes. BAM! Free parking! Yeah, the parking at the airport is only $8 a day, but if you're gone for a week, save yourself $50 by walking five minutes.
