Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is the 12th-busiest airport in the nation, with 21.9 million passengers boarding planes there in 2022.
It has nine airport lounges, including a Centurion Lounge. Phoenix airport lounges are split between the airport’s two terminals, Terminal 3 and Terminal 4, but Terminal 4 offers more options.
You’ll find American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines lounges in Phoenix airport, but because Phoenix is an American Airlines hub, there are more Admirals Club locations than any other airline lounges.
Let’s take a look at the Phoenix airport lounge offerings so that you know where to go the next time you’re flying out of, or connecting in, Phoenix.
Phoenix Terminal 3 has three lounges: a Delta Sky Club, an Escape Lounge and a United Club.

Those with a United Club membership and active military members have lounge options as well.
