Phoenix is served mainly by Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), the region’s primary international and domestic hub handling major carriers like American, Southwest and Delta alongside several international flights; Phoenix-Mesa Gateway (AZA) to the east often caters to low-cost carriers and leisure routes. Sky Harbor sits about 3–5 miles from downtown Tempe/central Phoenix, reachable by light rail plus shuttle or taxi in roughly 20–30 minutes; fares for public transit are modest while rideshares and taxis can be higher. Gateway is around 20–25 miles from central Phoenix with shuttle or car trips of 30–45 minutes. Pros: Sky Harbor is well connected and convenient for business travel; Gateway can be cheaper for budget flyers but is farther from downtown and offers fewer international services.
Indianapolis International (IND) is the city's primary commercial gateway and functions as a mid-sized domestic hub with growing options for some international routes; it typically hosts legacy carriers alongside major low-cost airlines. The airport sits about 11 miles southwest of downtown Indianapolis, with shuttle or taxi rides generally taking 20–30 minutes depending on traffic; rideshares and taxis can run from roughly $25–45, while the public bus offers a cheaper but slower connection. Rental cars are plentiful on-site and the terminal is compact, which can make connections comfortable and quick; however, limited nonstop long-haul services mean international transfers are often needed. Parking is plentiful but can add to trip cost and travel time.
