    Cell phone lot view
    Brandon H.

    Are you picking up some at the phoenix airport and arrived to early. Well don't sit in traffic or pull off the side of the road to wait, making more traffic. Check out this underutilized hidden gem, one of the best places in the entire airport and there for the entire world. It's called the Sky Harbor's free 24-hour Cell Phone Lot. This place has it all a great safe place to wait for someone's flight to arrive or depart, a live feed of all the flights arriving soon, restrooms, plenty of parking, and its free. The best part is there is No stress, No worries, No bathroom lines, No fees and No issues because you are the only person there. I call this place the Sky Harbor's VIFree Lot and would recommend to anyone in the area even if you don't have to go the the airport. I could not give this free underutilized hidden gem 5 stars because I feel like I am steeling from the airport every time I go here, and that doesn't sit well with me. 4 stars.

    Picking up someone from the airport makes me anxious. Maybe it's because I don't trust anyone on the road lol. Driving to the airport, trying to navigate around the sometimes confusing signs to where you are supposed to meet while dodging the already crazy and frantic drivers, especially during rush hour argh! I'm glad that there are cell phone lots to make it a little easier to wait for your person's flight to arrive, and 3 of them too! I meant to go to the closest lot from 24th Street but I accidentally made a wrong turn when the road forked so I ended up at the more centrally located one which was alright in the end. There were plenty of spots and the screens showing the flight times is a nice little perk. Getting out of the lot was easy and while it was still a bit stressful getting to the right gate, with enough careful driving and some accompanying occasional but rapid cursing my passenger was picked up safe and sound, we were on our way out of Sky Harbor and onto better and brighter things!

    This is a great parking lot while you wait wait for guests to arrive at airport. There is even a Few Porta potties! Super easy access in and out of lot and conscientious sis gave everywhere on and off the highway to get here.

    Close to the terminal 4 departure and arrival lanes and it's free. Large sign with flight information. Great place to watch the sunset when waiting.

    Cell phone parking lot - equipped with and arrivals board and list of phone numbers for the airlines!

    I've been in and out of many airports over the years and this is one of my favorites for sure. I mean don't get me wrong, an airport is still in the airport... Busy, highly secured, and packed with our favorite people the TSA agents. The reason I like Phoenix Sky Harbor is because it's usually pretty well organized to where it's not a complete disaster if you don't get here hours and hours ahead of time. They have all of the standard stores, shops and restaurants that you would associate with an airport. One of the cool things that I have noticed here at Sky Harbor is the "cell" parking lot - this is where you can go, park for free and wait for someone to arrive. Once they have landed and gathered their baggage, they can call or text to let you know they're ready to be met by the curb. CIRCLING THE AIRPORT IS NOT NECESSARY!!

    Long line to get out. Horrible!

    Oh my god, talk about a NIGHTMARE! My husband was flying into Sky Harbor to meet me in Phoenix and when I read about a cell phone lot I was initially excited. I left my hotel early to get a spot in the lot. Everything was fine when I arrived and secured a spot. The lot was very crowded and I took one of two parking spots left. The cell phone lot is difficult to get to but is very close to the pick-up terminal. This is where the issue is -- it's steps away from the pick-up area but that means there are HUGE bottlenecks of traffic coming both from inside the cell phone lot and on the exterior roads. This means when everybody arrives at the same time, there is a huge backup of cars. Even though I was parked close by, it took me over THIRTY MINUTES to get OUT of the cell phone lot to pick up my husband! I was trapped! You can't back out of your spot or even MOVE in the traffic. I was in tears. NEVER again. It's better to circle than to park here. Trust me!

    I swear. This is the worst drive in movie I've ever gone to.

    See all

    Alright, here goes... I feel the need to update my review as…read moreI did not know how it worked the first time I parked here before a flight out. Take ntoes!! The first time I came here, I must have pulled a ticket from the machine going into the facility instead of scanning the barcode on the email that was sent to me when I made my initial reservation. Soooo, that led me to pay for a full day when I tried to exit. I don't remember actually pulling a ticket because I scanned my barcode when I went in. I guess omw out of the facility is when I pulled the ticket, and I panicked because there was no other way out and there were already 3 cars behind me. I was trapped so I had no choice but to pay twice my reservation cost, around $64 to get out. My second time, I read the email thoroughly and upon reading the response to my initial review from management, that is definitely what happened. Now I know better!! I do like this service as the shuttles come and go it seems every 5 minutes. Once I get to the curb at the airport, a shuttle usually just pulls right up. I don't have to text anyone or wait forever like I've had to do with other shuttles. My car is secured in their outdoor lot where most spots are actually covered, and the walk from the shuttle to my car is very short. The property is well lit and the office usually has an employee at the desk in the lobby area. Be sure to scan that email QR code upon entering and exiting so you don't make the same mistake I did! I emailed them but did not get a partial refund. Oh well.

Finally a guy came out to help opened the lift gate. This was a bad sign already. On my way back again the barcode didn't work (not surprised), waited for 15 minutes an employee came out to help opened, the digital display showed I owed $8.00 on top of $85.75 previously paid online. I asked the employee why do I have to pay extra, he kept rushing me to exit the parking without providing any explanations. He was not nice at all. I felt horrible to be taken advantage off for the extra charge and Preflight's egregious practice is not acceptable. Beware to park at this place.

Some of my favorite stores include Sephora, Lululemon, VS/VS Pink, and Jo Malone. I don't come very often even though it's less than 10 minutes from work. The parking situation is usually a nightmare and the traffic around the mall doesn't help. I feel like it's congested everywhere around the mall all the time. I do stop in once in a great while if I really need something. It's very clean and they are always opening new stores. The food court has a pretty good selection of cuisines, but if you're looking for anything fancy, you won't find it there. If parking was a breeze, I would probably come in more often, but I guess that's a good thing, lol. Happy shopping!

They make everything really easy, and they are now fully shaded!!! So awesome! Reservations can be made online through the app. Upon arrival, you can scan the QR code that is created when you make the reservation, and the workers will tell you which aisle to go down. Once you've unpacked the vehicle of your belongings and locked up, a bus will usually be ready to pick you up at your car! The seating is nice and there's racks for your suitcases while you travel to the airport. They'll ask which airline you're going to and take you directly there. You'll also receive a card to give back them when you pick up your car, so they'll know where to drop you off. When you've come back and are ready to pick up your car, the buses will be located down in courtesy vehicles of the arrivals area. I think when you make the reservations you'll put in information about your flight too, so they'll have a general idea of when to pick you up. But make sure you get on the right bus, as there are three different locations. Once you're dropped off at your car, you'll drive back to the gates and scan your QR code again and pay. They offer complimentary water bottles too when you exit! I love The Parking Spot and recommend it to everyone!

Additionally, the parking lot design is extremely narrow, making it difficult to navigate safely and increasing the risk of accidents. I hope Kierland Commons takes both customer and employee safety more seriously and improves its response to incidents like this in the future.
