PHX offers nonstop service to over 100 destinations. Tucson has nonstop flights to roughly 20 cities.

TUS has added routes in recent years, with Alaska Airlines, Southwest, and JetBlue all operating seasonal or year-round nonstops to select cities. The Tucson metro area has about 1 million people, which limits the number of routes that can sustain daily nonstop service. PHX remains the primary option for destinations beyond TUS's route map.

Phoenix to Tucson Flights

PHX-TUS is a 110-mile connector route that American Airlines operates with regional jets throughout the day. Block time is about 1 hour, with actual airtime under 30 minutes.
