Sky Harbor Declares July Parking Independence Month

Phoenix, AZ -- Sky Harbor is declaring July Parking Independence Month with a hefty 40% discount on the full day rate in all Sky Harbor terminal garages with the presentation of an online coupon from skyharbor.com. Daily terminal garage rates are usually $25 and will be only $15 with the coupon.

"America's Friendliest Airport just got friendlier," said Assistant Aviation Director, Carl Newman. "During July, our customers can park more conveniently at a significantly reduced rate and this kind of promotion matters, especially during a busy travel month." The discount is good during the entire month of July, including the July 4 holiday weekend. Click here to download the coupon.

July is one of Sky Harbor’s busiest months due to leisure travel. Since July 4 falls on a Sunday this year, Sky Harbor expects to see heavy passenger traffic Thursday and Friday July 1 and 2 and again on July 5.

Travel Tips for the July 4 Holiday Weekend:

• Check flight status before coming to the Airport and arrive two hours before your flight departs if you are parking in remote lots, checking bags or traveling internationally.
• Call Sky Harbor’s 24-hour parking hotline at 602-273-4545 for updated information on parking lot and garage availability.
• Smoking is only permitted in designated outside smoking areas.
• Have your claim check or ID ready at baggage claim when you return to Phoenix so that if you are approached by staff, you won’t be delayed looking for this information.
• Mark your bags clearly so you recognize them immediately, and they stand out as unique to you. Tie a colored ribbon on your bag for easier ID.
• Liquids and gels brought through the checkpoint must be in 3 oz containers or less, carried in a zip top bag, one bag per passenger and screened separately. Larger quantities of medically necessary liquids are allowed only at the discretion of TSA screeners.
• Food may be carried through security and beverages may be purchased past security and brought onto the aircraft.
• Use the cell phone lots to wait for arriving passengers and avoid circling the terminals.
• Remove large electronics from carry-on bags and place them in their own TSA bin.
