| - I've dropped by PHX Sky Harbor a handful of times as a stop over for my flights to the East Coast these past few years. There are plenty of miscellaneous stalls along the waiting areas, including quite a few sit-down restaurants and bars. Most seem to be full lunch and post-lunch. Terminal 2 doesn't have anything special in terms of restaurants; there's a grab and go, a pizza place, and a coffee shop among other things. Terminal 3 has some sit-in restaurants and bars, but as many others mentioned, terminal 4 is getting better; there seems to be more dining options available in that part of the airport.
Some of the staff here apparently dislike their job or interacting with people. For example, I simply asked one of the staff members on the escalators -- he was doing nothing, just leaning back with his back to the window panes -- if I was heading in the right direction to reach A6, and the guy's response was: "There's a big ass sign that shows with white arrows where the 'A' terminals are -- it's not that hard. Read." WELL, SHIT...SORRY.
There's nothing terribly wrong with this airport. It's smaller than the others I've been to around the country, but it's expanding. Also, I must note that it's not as hectic as, say JFK, LAX, or SFO. I'm not sure if it's because it's Arizona, but damn, it was hot inside. It was especially hot for me because I was racing to A6 after finding out that the 3:20pm US Airways flight to Newark was on-time despite their being a 30 minute delay from Fresno. If you saw a tall Asian guy sprinting to A6 on Wednesday, well, that was me.
