Flight deals from Las Vegas to Phoenix

Phoenix Sky Harbor International's nonstop list, which shows no date, names American, Frontier, Southwest and Sun Country for Las Vegas (LAS); schedules change, so check the stops shown with each result. This page searches LAS to Sky Harbor (PHX), not Mesa Gateway (AZA), which is a separate airport. Southwest, United, Frontier, American and Delta have appeared in EazAir's fare checks for this route. Southwest and American use Terminal 4 at PHX, while Delta, United and Frontier use Terminal 3.

Getting to Harry Reid by bus means RTC Route 108 from the Bonneville Transit Center or the Red Line, formerly Route 109 Maryland Parkway; both stop only at Terminal 1, Level Zero. That suits Southwest, American and Delta. United and Frontier fly from Terminal 3, so bus riders continue on the free airport shuttle. LAS has no designated rideshare drop-off area, so Uber and Lyft drivers use the departures curbs.

Sky Harbor's own train, the PHX Sky Train, costs nothing and runs around the clock between Terminals 3 and 4 and on to the Rental Car Center. The airport puts average waits at about 3.5 to 7 minutes between 5 a.m. and 10 p.m., longer late at night. Get off at 44th Street, where a moving-sidewalk walkway leads to Valley Metro Rail toward Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa. Frontier, United and Delta passengers using ride apps at Terminal 3 meet drivers on the south outer curb, except its far east end.

EazAir's first 2 fare checks for LAS to PHX were made between 18 Sep and 15 Oct 2026. Each looked for the lowest one-way economy fare for one adult, departing 30 days later. The higher result was less than one and a half times the lower, but two checks are far too few to read a trend into. Frontier's fare without a bundle and United Basic Economy include only a personal item. Search your own dates, and check the final price, bags and fare rules on the partner site before you pay.

Travel tips

Arrive early for domestic flights

TSA generally recommends arriving at least 2 hours before a domestic departure, more at larger hub airports during peak travel periods.

Pack a mixed carry-on

Keep a change of clothes, chargers, and any essentials in your carry-on rather than only your checked bag, in case of a delay or a bag that doesn't arrive with you.

Screenshot your confirmation

Save a screenshot or PDF of your booking confirmation and boarding pass before you travel, in case you lose signal or battery at the airport.

Check in online when it opens

Most airlines open online check-in 24 hours before departure. Checking in early can help with seat selection and, on some airlines, boarding group assignment.
