Airport Transfers: Phoenix, Flagstaff & Beyond
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX)
Phoenix Sky Harbor is Arizona’s primary international gateway and the most common arrival point for travelers heading to Flagstaff, Sedona, and Northern Arizona. The drive from Phoenix Sky Harbor to Flagstaff covers approximately 145 to 150 miles, with an estimated drive time of 2 hours 20 minutes to 2 hours 45 minutes depending on traffic through the Valley and conditions on Interstate 17 — one of the steepest and most dramatic highway corridors in the American West.
I-17 northbound climbs from the desert floor at roughly 1,100 feet in Phoenix all the way up to Flagstaff’s 6,900-foot elevation, passing through the Black Canyon, the Bradshaw Mountains, and the sweeping Mogollon Rim country. It is a genuinely spectacular drive — and one best enjoyed from the back seat of a luxury vehicle while your professional chauffeur handles the elevation changes, mountain grades, and occasional winter weather.
