Private shuttle between Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport and Fairmont Scottsdale Princess
Fairmont Scottsdale Princess is a self-contained resort world on 65 acres off East Princess Drive, which is exactly why the airport leg deserves its own plan: you are crossing the whole metro from South Mountain's shadow to the far north edge of Scottsdale. This page covers the drive from Sky Harbor to the resort gates, when the Loop 101 and SR-51 stretches slow down, and what real completed trips on this run have cost.
The route from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport to Fairmont Scottsdale Princess
The route leaves Sky Harbor on SR-143, crosses Loop 202 West, and heads north on the SR-51 and then Loop 101 East through North Scottsdale, exiting at the Princess Drive/Pima corridor. Under normal conditions the trip runs about half an hour door to gate; the 101 stretch through North Scottsdale is the single most variable piece and can double on weekday peak hours, so flight-day pickups are buffered.
