Flight from San Jose to Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport

GeraldFlew with American AirlinesSJC-PHXMay 2025

SJC is physically a smaller airport. The gates are closer and TSA has shorter lines, They are not subject to weather delays as much as SFO. On the other hand SFO offers more flight options, both in the number of flights each airlines flies and the number of airlines serving the airport.

KateFlew with FrontierLAX-PHXDec 2024

Pack a snack food and airport is very expensive. Bring an empty water bottle. There are lots of filling stations. Delays seem to happen frequently be flexible and kind. You’ll get to where you’re going.

BrandonFlew with American AirlinesSAN-PHXJan 2025

I didn’t check any bags, but Phoenix is very big so be prepared to walk that airport.

MelissaFlew with American AirlinesSMF-PHXJun 2024

Make sure you have extended time if you are connecting in Phoenix. The terminals are at least a 15/20 minute walk between each other.

LanceFlew with American AirlinesMRY-PHXMay 2024

Bag check closes early, so if you're checking a bag, arrive early.

MichaelFlew with SouthwestSAN-PHXJan 2024

Lots of construction at Terminal 1 at Lindbergh Field. Give yourself extra time.
