Question 3

How do I get to the event from the airport (Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport - PHX)?

Accepted Answer

Options include a taxi, Uber or Lyft, or Super Shuttle, taxi, etc. The is currently a free shuttle
service provided by the Tempe Mission Palms Hotel to and from Phoenix Sky Harbor
International Airport. You must sign up with the valet services department to get a ride. Shared
ride services are abundant, and they respond quickly. Make sure you have the Uber or Lyft app
on your phone before using those services. Rental car service is available at Sky Harbor
International; however, the location is remote and requires a 10-minute monorail ride to the
offsite rental car location. There is also a Phoenix Light Rail station at the airport, but we
recommend using other forms of transportation as you would have to walk a few blocks with
luggage from the light rail station at Mill Avenue.
