Our Daily Schedule
What is your daily schedule?
We pick you up on your schedule 24/7. Our professional shuttle drivers are normally 5-10 minutes early at your home in Fairfield Inn Scottsdale North and PHX, or right on time at PHX. You get to pick the time we pick you up.
What is my pickup time at the airport?
We normally pick you up 30 minutes after your plane lands in Phoenix for domestic flights, or 45 minutes after for international flights.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Pickup times automatically adjust to 30 minutes after you land in Phoenix if your flight is delayed for domestic flights, or 45 minutes after you land for international flights.
What happens if my flight arrives early?
Call or send us a text if you want us to pick you up early, and we will let your driver know that you are ready to be picked up. Otherwise, we will pick you up at the scheduled time on your reservation.
How soon should I make a reservation?
Although there is no set rule that prevents you from booking a Fairfield Inn Scottsdale North to PHX Shuttle last minute, it's a good idea to make your shuttle reservation as soon as possible to make sure a driver is available and prevent any delays.
How long does it take?
Trip times to and from PHX depend on traffic and your exact addresses, so it pays to check our rates for your trip. Rush hour traffic will normally add extra time to your trip.
What time should I be picked up?
2.5-3 hours before your flight is normally enough time if you are going to Sky Harbor. PHX recommends you to be there 2 hours early to get through security and to your plane. Boarding usually starts 30 minutes before your plane takes off. However, one hour and thirty minutes is normally enough time. Drive times from PHX vary with traffic, so 2.5-3 hours before your flight takes off is normally good.

Fairfield Inn Scottsdale North to PHX: Your Complete Transportation Guide
Getting from the Fairfield Inn & Suites Scottsdale North to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) is a straightforward trip of roughly 20 miles, but the right choice depends on your departure time, budget, and how much flexibility you need. This guide covers the driving route, your transportation options, recommended departure times, and how to book a reliable prearranged shuttle so you never miss a flight. For route-specific booking, see our dedicated page for the Fairfield Inn Scottsdale North to PHX shuttle.
The Fairfield Inn & Suites Scottsdale North sits in north Scottsdale near the Loop 101 (Pima Freeway), close to shopping and dining around the Scottsdale Airpark area. That location is convenient for exploring north Scottsdale — but it also means the hotel is on the opposite side of the Valley from Sky Harbor, which sits just east of downtown Phoenix. Planning ahead matters, especially during morning and evening rush hours.
Driving Directions from Fairfield Inn Scottsdale North to Sky Harbor
There are two common ways to drive from the hotel to PHX, and both start with easy access to Loop 101:
Route 1: Via Loop 101 South and AZ-202 (Loop 202)
- Head to the nearest Loop 101 on-ramp near the hotel and travel south on Loop 101 toward Tempe.
- Connect to Loop 202 (Red Mountain Freeway) westbound.
- Follow signs for Sky Harbor Airport and exit onto 44th Street or the airport's dedicated exit into the Sky Harbor Boulevard approach.
- Follow the overhead signs to your airline's terminal — Terminal 2, Terminal 3, or Terminal 4.
Route 2: Via SR-51 (Piestewa Freeway)
- From Loop 101, head south on State Route 51 through northeast Phoenix.
- SR-51 ends at I-10; merge westbound toward downtown Phoenix.
- Take the Sky Harbor Airport exit (exit 143B area) and follow Sky Harbor Boulevard into the airport loop.
- Continue to your assigned terminal and check in with your airline.
In normal, light traffic the drive takes about 30 minutes. During Phoenix rush hour — roughly 7–9 a.m. and 4–6 p.m. on weekdays — expect the trip to stretch significantly. Traffic patterns on Loop 101 through Scottsdale and Tempe are notoriously unpredictable around event nights at nearby venues, so build in a buffer if you're traveling at peak times.
How Early Should You Leave the Hotel for Your Flight?
Phoenix Sky Harbor recommends arriving 2 hours before your flight to allow time for security and getting to your gate. Boarding typically begins about 30 minutes before departure. Add the drive time from north Scottsdale, plus a cushion for traffic, and a good rule of thumb is:
- Domestic flights: Leave the Fairfield Inn roughly 2.5–3 hours before departure in normal traffic.
- Rush hour departures: Add 15–45 minutes (about 30 minutes on average) to your travel expectations.
- International flights: Plan to arrive even earlier, since international check-in and document verification close earlier than domestic counters.
If your flight leaves at 7 a.m., that could mean a very early wake-up call — which is exactly why many travelers book a prearranged shuttle rather than gambling on a rideshare surge at 4:30 a.m.
Your Transportation Options: Fairfield Inn Scottsdale North to PHX
Travelers have several ways to cover the roughly 20 miles between the hotel and Sky Harbor. Here's an honest comparison:
| Option | Typical Travel Time* | Best For | Things to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prearranged Airport Shuttle (Airport Shuttle of Phoenix) | ~30–45 min | Early flights, families, travelers who want a guaranteed pickup time | Picks up on your schedule 24/7; drivers aim to arrive 5–10 minutes early; vehicles sized to your party (car for 1–3, shuttle for 4+) |
| Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) | ~30–45 min | Flexible, spontaneous daytime trips | Pricing fluctuates with demand; early-morning and event-time availability in north Scottsdale can vary |
| Taxi | ~30–45 min | Travelers who prefer metered, on-demand rides | Availability at the hotel may require a wait during off-hours; metered fares rise with traffic delays |
| Driving Yourself / Rental Car | ~30–45 min + return time | Travelers with a rental already checked out | Factor in fuel, airport parking, and the return drive or shuttle from the PHX rental car center |
| Valley Metro Public Transit | ~1.5–2+ hours with transfers | Budget travelers with light luggage and plenty of time | No direct line from north Scottsdale; requires transfers and a long walk/ride to the terminal |
| *Travel times are estimates in normal traffic and vary with time of day and incidents on Loop 101, SR-51, I-10, or Loop 202. | |||

How Do I Get an Accurate Quote?
Getting an exact price for your ride from the Fairfield Inn Scottsdale North to Sky Harbor takes about two minutes. Pricing is mileage based, and special rates apply to certain zip codes — which is why entering your full address matters. Here's the process:
- Step 1 — Enter your address. You can type just the city to see rates, but we recommend entering the full hotel address for an accurate quote, since most pricing is mileage based and certain zip codes carry special rates.
- Step 2 — Compare your options. The quote screen shows pricing for Taxi, Airport Shuttle, and Black Car Service together. Once you see a price you like, click "Reserve Now."
- Step 3 — Save your quote. Enter your name, cell phone number, and email so your quote is saved and a copy is sent automatically to your inbox. Then click "Continue."
- Step 4 — Confirm your booking. Nothing is actually booked until you enter a credit or debit card on the final booking screen — so you can explore rates with zero commitment.
Ways to Save on Your Trip
- One-way trips: Use promo code "ONLINE" to save 10%.
- Round trips: You automatically save 10% off each way — and if you'd rather have a free upgrade to non-stop service instead, use promo code "NONSTOP."
All figures shown during booking are transparent, and no surprise fees are added at the curb. (Specific fare amounts are quoted live at booking time and are not listed here because mileage-based pricing varies by exact address and time.)
Arriving at PHX: Where Your Driver Meets You
If you book a pickup from Sky Harbor back to the Fairfield Inn Scottsdale North, knowing the prearranged pickup points saves time and confusion. PHX has specific rules: drivers are not allowed to walk more than 15 feet from their vehicle or wait at the curb, so good communication with your driver by phone is essential. Head straight to the prearranged pickup area:
- Terminal 3 Prearranged: Cross the crosswalk from Door 6 and go to the right — the south side of the building.
- Terminal 4 Prearranged: Cross the crosswalk from Door 3 — the north side of the building, first floor.
Remember, your pickup time automatically tracks your actual landing: about 30 minutes after touchdown for domestic flights and 45 minutes for international. If your flight arrives late, the pickup shifts with it automatically.
Exploring the Area Around the Hotel Before You Go
If you have time before checkout, the Fairfield Inn & Suites Scottsdale North puts you minutes from some of the Valley's best spots: the shops and restaurants around the Scottsdale Airpark, the trails and sunsets of McDowell Sonoran Preserve to the northeast, and the upscale retail at Scottsdale Quarter and Scottsdale Fashion Square a short drive south. Just keep an eye on the clock — Loop 101 traffic heading toward Tempe and the airport builds quickly in the late afternoon.
