Getting to the airport early is a must. Have a plan and map for your airline's checking desk. If you ask someone for directions, make sure they are clear or that you understand, a lot of TSA and airport personnel spoke English with hard dialects and some didn't know where the Alaska Air terminal was.

Waymo (Google's driverless robotaxi) is operating the the Phoenix area. Pricing comparable to Uber/Lyft, but no tipping since no driver. It is a novel experience and worth trying of your route falls in the service area. The PHX airport (at least Terminal 3) is really lovely, clean, and bright. The Skytrain (free, runs between Terminals, and transit stations every 5 mins or so) is excellent as well.
