Tips
Phoenix Airport Lounges (PHX): Terminal 3 & 4 Guide
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) has a bookable Escape Lounge in each passenger terminal. Use the lounge in your departure terminal: Terminal 3 passengers should choose the lounge at the E/F gate intersection, while Terminal 4 passengers should use the lounge across from Gate B22.
The PHX Sky Train connects Terminals 3 and 4 outside the secure gate areas. Changing terminals only for a lounge can require another security screening, so it is not a sensible plan for most passengers.
Quick answer
Which PHX lounge should you choose?
Choose entirely by terminal. Use the Terminal 3 Escape Lounge for E or F gates. Use the Terminal 4 Escape Lounge for A, B, C or D gates; it is positioned across from B22 and can be reached from Terminal 4's connected concourses after security.
Terminal 4 / A-D gates
Escape Lounge (Terminal 4)
Across from Gate B22 and accessible after security from Terminal 4's four concourses.

Escape Lounge in Terminal 3
Terminal 3 has E and F gates, and its Escape Lounge sits centrally where those gate areas meet. It is post-security on the Level 4 mezzanine beside Passage by Hudson and the Phoenix Airport Museum Gallery.
- Escape Lounge (Terminal 3): The operator currently lists daily service, hot and cold food, drinks, Wi-Fi, charging and workspace. LoungePair offers a three-hour pass, while Priority Pass members can also pre-book through the operator and must present their membership card.
Escape Lounge in Terminal 4
Terminal 4's Escape Lounge is across from Gate B22 on the upper level and shares its entrance with the Centurion Lounge. It is the appropriate paid-pass option for Terminal 4 departures, including flights from the A, B, C and D concourses.
- Escape Lounge (Terminal 4): The operator currently lists daily service, freshly prepared food, drinks, Wi-Fi, charging and workspace. LoungePair offers a three-hour pass for travelers who do not already have eligible card access.
Tip:Do not switch terminals for a lounge.The PHX Sky Train connects Terminals 3 and 4, but terminal transfers involve leaving the gate area and passing through security for the departure terminal. Both terminals already have a comparable Escape Lounge, so book the one shown on your boarding pass.
Other lounges at Phoenix Airport
Terminal 3 also has a Delta Sky Club near F8 and a United Club near E3. Terminal 4 has three Admirals Club locations, the Centurion Lounge across from B21 and the Sapphire Lounge by The Club near D11. These normally require the relevant ticket, membership or card benefit rather than the individual passes compared here.
When an airport hotel is more useful
A three-hour lounge pass works for a normal pre-flight wait. A nearby PHX hotel is the better fit for an overnight connection, long disruption or early departure when you need a private room and uninterrupted rest.
