Best Time to Fly to Phoenix
There’s no bad time to fly to Phoenix.
Peak Season:
The city’s high-travel season is November through April. Rates for cheap hotels and airfare deals are always higher during those months. Tourists booking Phoenix flights during this time should also book Phoenix accommodations and car rentals, as hotel rooms book up fast and finding a good deal can be hard to come by.
Off Season:
True bargain hunters can get deals on cheap airline tickets to Phoenix during the summer, but the city comes to a cultural standstill during the searing heat. Saving money on a Phoenix flight means more money available to test out the city’s water parks!
Why you should take a flight to Phoenix
The mega-city in the middle of the Sonoran Desert has plenty to offer visitors booking Phoenix flights. Whether you’re looking for resorts, spas, golf courses, shopping or sporting events, booking a trip to Phoenix is your first step toward a relaxing vacation. The Phoenix landscape and climate invite travelers to explore outdoor activities and excursions. If you didn’t get enough altitude on your flight to Phoenix, then take a hot-air balloon ride (or less-adventurous types can stick to the scenic bus tours.)
Book a window seat on your flight to Phoenix for awe-inspiring views of Arizona’s deserts and a glimpse of the Grand Canyon. Because of the year-round warm weather, there is no off-season in the desert so airline tickets to Phoenix are available depending on your schedule. The plane ride to Phoenix arrives at Sky Harbor International Airport, where tourists can find rental cars, shuttle buses and tour guides readily available to get you started on your Phoenix vacation.
It’s not hard to see why tourists continue to book trips to Phoenix year- round. Phoenix averages 300 days of sun and 7 inches of precipitation annually. Summer in Phoenix is May to September. In June and July the average temperature is just under 104 degrees Fahrenheit, and the temperature exceeds 100 almost daily. July is the hottest month, with average temperatures over 105. Cheap flights to Phoenix are commonly found during the summer months when the heat scorches, but the scorching desert climate also means constant dips in the pool at some of the nation’s most revered resorts. The heat drops off in October, and the nights are cool. It rarely rains, but when it does, expect thunderstorms, flash floods, and then a spectacular show from the desert flora. Winter, September to May, is the best time to fly to Phoenix. The weather is sunny and warm. The winter temperatures rarely drop below 65, and it’s usually warm enough to lounge at the pool during the day and cool enough to wear a jacket at night.
You’ll want a car to get around Phoenix, since the city and its surrounding towns cover more than 400 square miles. Parking is free outside of downtown Phoenix, although it may take you a while to find a spot in Old Scottsdale or popular shopping areas. Make sure you read the fine print when you’re renting your car. Taxes and surcharges can increase your rental rate nearly 50 percent. Get around town for free on the city’s Downtown Area Shuttle (DASH) service. These free buses cover downtown routes during the week from 6:30am to 5:30pm. DASH is meant for downtown commuters, not tourists, but the buses do go by Heritage Square and the Arizona Capitol Museum. The public buses, Valley Metro, are more useful for commuters than it is for tourists.
