A Southwest Airlines flight takes off from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport on Wednesday, Aug. 9, 2023.

More than 3.9 million travelers came through Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport last month. Traffic is up 8% so far this year over 2023, the airport’s busiest year ever.

Sky Harbor spokesperson Heather Shelbrack said with school fall breaks just around the corner, they encourage Phoenix travelers to book a parking spot ahead of time.

“We are expecting our parking facilities to be busy and if you book in advance at skyharbor.com/parking, you’ll be guaranteed that there will be space for you in our parking areas and our parking garages," Shelbrack said.

The airport also a loyalty program that allows users to earn points and get free parking in the future.
