Cell Phone Lot is such a smart idea. Rather than circling the terminal, waiting for who you are picking up, park and wait. Let the person who you are picking up know to call once they are about to exit the terminal. Drives, then head over and pick up. It is that simple. There is no fee for parking in the lot. Near the front their is a board with flight updates. Drivers must stay in their cars. Drivers may briefly exit to use the portable restrooms. Drives may also leave their vehicles to take a pet to relieve themselves. In the hotter months, it does get extremely hot. There is no idling, so that means no running the air conditioning. It would be nice if there was shade. That being said, the lot does eliminate a good deal of traffic. Make sure to bring plenty of water. read more

Awful! The traffic flow pattern is ridiculous, and now the board has been removed and you just have to wait for someone to text you that their plane is there . read more

Great place to wait until you are picking up someone or something at Sky Harbor. Moments away from all arrival and baggage claim. It is kind of a food dry zone, tho, especially after dark, and Uber Eats would not deliver lol. read more

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. read more

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! read more

why haven't I been stopping here before? The Phoenix Sky Harbor Cell Phone Lot is such a stress reliever. don't keep circling the airport waiting for your traveler to appear, follow the signs and park. easy to go in, easy to get out and IT'S FREE! read more

This lot is genius! When I receive the text "landed," that means it is time to start the drive down, but depending on traffic and the route I take, my time will vary. More importantly is the time that the landed party will take getting off the plane, walking to baggage claim, and eventually standing at the curb. This lot is perfect for a quick stop until the text "at curb" arrives. Pull in for just a few minutes or a longer stay, just don't get out of your car! read more

The invention of the cell phone lot was brilliant! The one detractor (and why I only gave this lot four stars) is the left turn onto the road to terminal two. The road you have to cross is quite busy and much of the traffic is moving at 30 mph or more. Thus, speed and acceleration is definitely a plus when going to pick up your significant other/boss/family/bff from this lot. If you are going to terminals three or four this is not an issue. Thank you PHX for providing this essential service. read more

Love this place, Since I moved the the valley about six years ago. I have become a frequent visitor to this cell lot. There is always enough room, you can actually see the update board from any location in the lot. There are bathrooms, even though it's an outhouse. It's better then nothing. They also have the airlines "800" numbers posted for your convenience. Just come in, find a parking spot, recline your seat, turn up the radio and take a nap! read more

For a cell phone lot, it's a cell phone lot. Not far from the terminals (thankfully) and easy in/out. Didn't have any trouble.

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!! read more

Thank you for making it less stressful for us !! We will be doing the cell phone parking from here on out!!

This is a great place to come to wait ,when you are waiting for a flight to come in. You do not have to drive around the Airport wasting gas and getting in anyones way. You simply pull in here, wait for your cell phone call and relax. When your party arrives, they call you and they go to get their luggage. You leave the lot and go to Passenger pick up. It works like a charm. There is one on each side of the Airport as well. So weather you are coming from the East or the West you can use one. Plus it is free. You do not have to pay as you would have to if you parked. read more

I went the longest time not knowing what this place was. Did you go here to grab a quick cell phone before you head out on your flight? Well once I looked at it, made a whole lot of sense. Now there is a go to spot that I wait at until my family arrives. It's great that it's right by terminal 4. You can access all the terminals from there. 4 is just a lot closer. read more

Love the location and ease with which you can wait for your incoming travelers. My only critique would be that the flight board takes too long to update. Would be nice if it was a bit more timely. read more

This is for the "smaller " and less crowded cell phone parking lot at Phoenix Sky Harbor. It is located just slightly east of terminal 4, has a digital arrival board, (just like the bigger, more crowded, west cell phone parking lot). Best of all it has a GREAT view of incoming airplanes,! read more

What a great idea! Definitely comes in handy when your waiting for someone to arrive. It's better than circling the airport repeatedly. Quite a bit of parking available. read more

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! read more

Plenty of parking and a large electrical board with flight info. Parking is free and there's also porta potties on site.

Gone are the days of guessing when tie guest are ready to be picked up. 4 stars because they have a light pole right near the front that blocks the board. Also kind of confusing of how to get to each lot. read more

Gone are the days when you can park and walk into the airport to greet your special someone as the come of the plane. However, at least we now have a place to sit comfortably and wait for them. What a great idea! It makes it so easy to pick someone up at the airport when you have somewhere nearby that you can wait and a big board to keep you informed of their status. The last thing anyone wants is to be sitting out on the curb waiting for someone to come get them after a long day of travel! read more

As far as I'm concerned, it's very basic. During the summers they're concrete heat collectors and believe me you feel it. Your A/C will work harder especially since you're stationary. How about covered solar parking lots as in schools. It works for the energy needs as well as cars in wait. Porta potties need to be kept clean, especially in the heat of summer. Ok for those short waits. read more

It was easy to navigate here with my google maps and wait for my wife's flight to arrive. Once she got in she texted and I was able to easily pick her up. read more

Best Port-a-potty ever. I will come back often. Even though it's nearly 95' outside there was hardly an odor . It was well stocked with toilet paper and hand sanitizer. I can't wait to come back read more

Phoenix Sky Harbor Cell Phone Lot - I swear. This is the worst drive in movie I've ever gone to. - Parking Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The positive fact that cell phone lot east is 10 times Bigger then the old is good. However there should be multiple sign boards. The closet one is on west of lot. However all cars tend to park there and fight for space 2 more boards woukd be nice also they need a turn right sign larger. All and all happy read more

I've always used the west lot with no issues. I really wish there was wifi available, but at least I don't have to pay to park and wait.

More attractive now that they have jacked the short term parking rates way up, no grace period. cell lot if free but no shade, brutal in summer. read more

Good place to wait and sit to have your guest(s) arrive. Free of charge too. The only bad thing is that you might not be able to park during peak holiday seasons. read more

I like the idea of having a place to wait a bit in the airport. I don't like all of the people with me. Also on the sun it is to damn hot
