"Flying the friendly skies in Phoenix!\n\nThis airport isn't that big at least not what I'm used to so for me that's GREAT!\n\nI was here on business, in SUMMER and let me tell you the AC was WONDERFUL! I didn't sweat like a wildebeest trying to get to my gate or from my gate but once you step outside its ANOTHER STORY! \n\nLet's start with my arrival. Easy to get from gate to baggage claim. Yes I checked my luggage since the company was paying WHY NOT spring for it so I can walk to and from the plane with ease.\n\nThen once at baggage claim the luggage came quickly. We were in and out in no time. We were renting a car. Again on the companies dime. Hey its a business trip so I get reimbursed. They have a GREAT shuttle that picks you up at a marked \"RENTAL CAR\" shuttle sign outside baggage claim and whisk to off you a building with ALL REANTAL CARS CARRIERS! Clean and comfortable and safe. No trying to find a specific rental car bus to schlep you to some location on the corner of Bob and Weave like as some airports. Then your having to figure out HOW to GET BACK there to return your car when you depart. This was SUPER EASY with signs to lead you out and on to the roads and SIGNS to lead you RIGHT BACK for departure. Took no time to catch the shuttle back to airport.\n\nThen I had to go back to the airport with rental car to pick up Bunny. He came in for the weekend to hang with me and use up my per diem and FREE HOTEL that my company was paying for. It was SUPER easy to navigate in and out and even pick up was easy. Bunny sent me his flight info, text me when he arrived I was almost there and he gave a door number he was waiting at. Drove up, he hopped in (like a bunny) and we were off. Dropping him back off was just as easy!\n\nNow my ONLY issue with this airport was when I was leaving. They had ONE WAY to TSA! ONE LONG AZZ LINE! It moved a bit slow and was quite a bottle neck. Dogs were out sniffing luggage, butts, stuffed animals and crouches this was both annoying and great because I didn't have to get FELT UP by TSA since the dogs had already violated my privates by sniffing me. I think they could tell what I had for breakfast. Yikes! Thank goodness I'm not afraid of dogs. I get WHY they were out but if your afraid of dogs this would be an problem. Anyway we didn't need to disrobe because of the dogs. You'd think that make things go quicker but it didn't it took longer because people are so used to having to take off everything except underwear to walk through the machine they were on auto pilot so they had to redress and repack bags after taking everything out. They could use more agents spreading the word of what to do or not do when you change mid stream what peeps are used to.\n\nOther than that this airport is NICE! Oh they could use more eating places!"^^ . . "2018-03-07T00:00:00"^^ . . . "10"^^ . "8"^^ . "4"^^ . "10"^^ .
