OREANDA-NEWS. If you are traveling for the Fourth of July holiday or later this summer, check out our travel tips to make your journey as smooth as possible.

Want a convenient parking option? The entire month of July, Phoenix Sky Harbor is offering a parking coupon for travelers who want to park at the terminal and walk to their gate. Take a short survey and download a coupon for 40% off terminal garage parking (Terminal 2 Economy excluded).

Looking for a convenient pick up and drop off location? The 44th Street and Washington PHX Sky Train™ Station offers an easy alternative to driving into the Airport to pick up or drop off travelers who are flying out of Terminal 4. There's a cell phone lot where you can wait free of charge while your party takes the PHX Sky Train from the Airport. The station also offers four-hour parking meters for those who would like to park and ride the train into the Airport to meet their party.

Arrive at the Airport two hours before your flight departs, especially if you are parking in economy areas or checking bags.

Be sure to look through your purse or carry-on bag before you come to the Airport. A forgotten weapon can cause you delays, hassles, and even fines. Visit tsa.gov for information about what can be placed in your carry-on.

Liquids and gels carried onto the plane must be in 3 oz containers or smaller and placed in a quart-sized zip top bag. The bag must be screened separately. Larger quantities or medically necessary liquids are allowed at the discretion of TSA screeners. Visit tsa.gov or contact TSA-ContactCenter@dhs.gov or 866-289-9673 for questions.

Flying Southwest Airlines or US Airways? Sky Harbor offers the convenience of Early Bag Check in two locations - the 44th Street PHX Sky Train™ Station and East Economy Parking. Travelers may check their luggage at no additional cost though airline bag fees still apply.

Save Time, Plan Your Parking. Remember if you're flying out of Terminal 4, the PHX Sky Train™ provides a two-minute ride from East Economy parking. However, if you're flying out of Terminals 2 or 3, the most convenient parking is West Economy or the Terminal 2 or 3 garages.
