Top 10: Things I Love About Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport

Since we were stuck at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport for 15 hours, I got to know the airport fairly well.  And I must admit, the services and amenities at the airport really helped to make such a lengthy delay tolerable.  Here are the top 10 things I love about the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.

1. Plenty of dining options - I loved that there were a variety of dining options to tide us over during the lengthy delay.
2. Phoenix Art Museum - perusing the numerous displays throughout the airport helped pass some of the time.
3. PHX Sky Train - the Sky Train made it easy to go between terminals (and the kids thought it was a fun ride!).
4. Variety of shopping - from books to toys, and snacks to clothing, there was a nice variety of stores from which we bought lots of souvenirs and snacks.
5. Play areas for kids - great to help kids busy during long waits.
6. Free Wi-Fi
7. Customer Service - they are known as America's Friendliest Airport for a reason - the staff (which consisted of employees called Navigators) was helpful whenever we had questions or needed directions 
8. Charging stations - lots of charging stations throughout the airport, which was helpful during our delay.
9. Spacious with plenty of seating - whether we were waiting at the gates, dining, or just resting, there were plenty of seats throughout the airport where we could stretch out and watch a movie on our smartphone, or the kids could nap. 
10. FiTPHX Trail - I did not have the right kind of shoes to walk this trail, but I love the fact this trail is available, offering a great way to get some exercise during a delay, with lots of scenic views!
