One-stop itineraries to other Arizona cities like Flagstaff or Yuma usually range from 4 to 6 hours. Westbound returns are slightly shorter due to prevailing winds."

Fly into Phoenix Sky Harbor for Phoenix and Sedona, Tucson International for Tucson and Flagstaff Pulliam for Grand Canyon access, though Phoenix offers more flight options and is often cheaper."
