With the long summer still lingering, it is hard to envision fall break. But schools will be on break in just a few weeks which means students and families will be traveling.

America’s Friendliest Airport^® continue to see record numbers of passengers this year and it is going to be even busier as people escape the Valley for some fall fun.

It’s important for travelers to plan ahead. Here are some travel tips:

• Make parking a breeze. With heavy crowds expected during overlapping school breaks, book your parking in advance. Our Sky Harbor Parking program makes it easy to reserve your parking up to six months in advance. Enjoy our convenient parking options in the terminal garages or various economy options. Take advantage of economy parking at the 24th Street PHX Sky Train^® Station, an easy option for who live west or north of the airport.
• Arrive early. We will be busy in October, and it is imperative that travelers give themselves enough time. Arrive at least two hours early if you are flying domestically, and three if you are flying internationally.
• Remember to look through your bags. Prior to arriving at the airport, check carry-on bags or purses for TSA Prohibited Items.
• Need a rental car? Reserve in advance. Coming in from out of town? It is recommended you reserve a rental car in advance. Vehicles may be limited for walk-up customers.
