PHX–LAS Quick Facts
Frequently Asked Questions
Phoenix to Las Vegas: A High-Volume Southwest Corridor
PHX–LAS is one of the busiest short-haul markets in the American West. The 300-mile corridor carries leisure travelers heading to Las Vegas from the Phoenix metro area, as well as connecting traffic through both airports. Southwest anchors the route from PHX with its highest-frequency schedule on this corridor. American, Frontier, Spirit, and Allegiant add capacity across multiple terminal areas. Block time is 1 hour. The route operates nearly continuously throughout the day, with departures from 6 AM through late evening, making it a practical option for day-trip and weekend travel in both directions.
Market Characteristics and Carrier Mix
PHX–LAS carries one of the highest proportions of ultra-low-cost carrier seats of any US domestic route of its length. Allegiant, Frontier, and Spirit collectively represent a large share of the capacity. Southwest's open-seating model and no-change-fee structure make it the default choice for flexible travelers. American provides the only option for frequent flyer mileage accrual on the full-service side. LAS operates as a near-pure origin-destination leisure market; very few travelers use LAS as a connection point. PHX, by contrast, feeds American's hub connections to the broader network for passengers arriving from Las Vegas.
