Transportation options from Sky Harbor Airport, estimates, and helpful telephone numbers

         Here is some useful information on the different transportation options one has upon arriving at the Sky
          Harbor Airport. For a more complete look on these services please refer to the Ground Transportation
          link below.

The three cab companies listed below are contracted by the Sky Harbor Airport and should

already be available at the waiting line for your convenience. The following is a list of their

phone numbers (just in case) and the approximate charges for a trip from the airport to the

intersection of Rural Road and Apache Boulevard.

-- AAA Cab (602) 437-4000 $15-20

-- Yellow Cab (602) 252-5252 $12-14

-- Courier Cab (602) 232-2222 $12-14

Super Shuttle service is a 24-hour airport-to-door service that is the cheapest if one travels alone. It averages to be about $10/person and leaves the airport at least every 15 minutes. The Super Shuttle guides usually stand in the waiting line, and depending on your destination, will find the shuttle for you over their portable radios.

If you'd like to try something different, there are also limousines available. Suprisingly, they might turn out to be not nearly as expensive as one would imagine. Please check the Ground Transportation link below for more information.

Travel tips & notes

1. To let you know, outside temperatures during the conference may be as high as 110 degrees

Fahrenheit or 43 degrees Celsius. It is also very dry usually and thus dehydration can be a

major problem. Please drink a lot of water.

2. A note about the Phoenix telephone area codes. Silly, but we have three of them: 602, 480,

and 623. ASU is within the 480 zone. So, if you are trying to reach someone, do not be

discouraged if a message tells you your call cannot be put through. Also, the message

usually states the correct area code for that number.
