Airport Information

Mesa/Phoenix Gateway

With shorter security lines and easy navigation, Mesa Gateway airport is great for affordable flights and fast arrivals / departures, but destinations and flights are limited. Look into Allegiant Airlines and Sun Country Airlines for flights.

Phoenix Sky Harbor

The Phoenix Sky Harbor airport is about a 25-minute drive and offers convenient access to abundant flight options.
