Phoenix Airport Set to Offer Early Bag Check

In time for the upcoming busy travel season, which includes Spring Break and Spring Training, America’s Friendliest Airport® will begin offering Early Bag Check on Wednesday, Feb. 11. The free and convenient service is operated by Bags, a Metropolis company. It allows passengers to check their luggage before arriving at the terminal, helping them travel lighter and more easily on the PHX Sky Train® and save time by skipping airline ticket counters.

Passengers flying domestically on the following airlines can use the service: Alaska, American, Delta, Frontier, Southwest and United. Early Bag Check counters are located at the Rental Car Center and East Economy Parking and are open daily from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m., including holidays.

In addition to checking bags, passengers can also print their boarding passes at the Early Bag Check counters.

Depending on the airline, passengers may check up to two bags per person. While there is no additional fee for the service, airline baggage fees still apply.

Bags must be checked at least 90 minutes before the scheduled departure and no more than four hours before the flight, per airline policy.
