Phoenix Sky Harbor airport may or may not be "America's Friendliest Airport," but it definitely ranks near the top.
The security lines at PHX always move quickly and I have never encountered a "TSAs$*hole" at this airport. Further, the older volunteers are always friendly and helpful.
In a city devoid of much "culture," I admire the airport's "museum" and its attempts to place interesting art throughout the terminals.
Food options, while not awesome, are varied and acceptable (i.e. Wendy's, CPK, Einstein's, etc.).
The best part? Free wi-fi! I don't mind getting to the PHX airport within the recommended two hours because I know I can spend time surfing the web or watching TV shows online instead of staring at planes for two hours. Unless, of course, the CNN on flat screen TVs throughout the terminals does not capture my interest first instead.
When PHX builds its automated train to the light rail, it will truly be a world-class facility.
