Connecting flights will add at least two to three hours to your total travel time depending on the layover city and carrier schedule. The flight path usually takes aircraft over the Deep South and Texas, offering window-seat passengers clear views of the changing American landscape as the lush greenery transitions into arid desert terrain. Demand for travel between Charlotte and Phoenix peaks during the winter and early spring months. March and April are particularly busy as North Carolina residents travel west to enjoy Major League Baseball spring training games in the Valley of the Sun. Conversely, July and August see lighter passenger traffic due to the extreme summer heat in Arizona. Booking early for late winter or spring departures ensures better availability on preferred morning or afternoon departures out of CLT.
