Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Santa Monica Municipal Airport (SMO) to Phoenix Sky Harbor Intl. Airport last minute?
Booking your trip from SMO to PHX at the last minute could save you some dough if you get lucky and find a real bargain. However, tickets usually don't get cheaper as the departure date nears. If you hold out, flights could also be booked out or the best seats taken (because who wants the middle seat?). If you want to be on the safe side, book well in advance of when you want to leave. Keep in mind that some of the best deals can be found up to a year in advance. If your favorite airline hasn't released tickets yet, check back regularly as deals are updated on Expedia constantly.
What airports do you fly into for Phoenix from Los Angeles?
From Los Angeles, you can journey to Phoenix via Sky Harbor Intl. Airport (PHX), Scottsdale Airport (SCF) and Chandler Municipal Airport (CHD). It's wise to check which airport is right for you before making your decision. If you choose Sky Harbor Intl. Airport (PHX), it's approximately 6 kilometers east of the downtown area.
