Cheap Flights from Phoenix to Honolulu Starting at $291

Phoenix is served primarily by Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), the region’s major international and domestic hub handling a wide mix of legacy carriers and several low-cost airlines; Phoenix-Mesa Gateway (AZA) to the southeast often functions as a budget-leaning alternative with more ULCC and leisure-focused flights. Sky Harbor sits about 3–5 miles from downtown Phoenix and can be reached by light rail in roughly 20–25 minutes or by taxi/rideshare in 10–20 minutes depending on traffic; fares for public transit are typically low while taxi and rideshare fares can vary. Pros: Sky Harbor offers frequent connections, wide services and on-site amenities; cons: it can be busy during peak hours and parking or rideshare wait times may increase. Mesa Gateway is usually cheaper on budget carriers but is farther from central Phoenix, requiring a longer drive or shuttle transfer.
