Each year 4 million visitors make their way to this magical
Red Rock Country. So you are in good company! It’s easy to get to Sedona
once you know the ins and outs. Although it has its own airport, the Sedona Airport
(SEZ), only services light aircraft with a 5,100-foot paved and lighted runway.
Therefore, there are no regularly scheduled commercial passenger service planes
in or out of the airport. If you have your own plane or are traveling with someone
who does, the Sedona Airport is is an excellent
way to get to here.
For most of us, we will be flying commercially. The closest major airport
is Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) which is approximately 120 miles
from Sedona. Once landing in Phoenix, there are generally two ways to get to Sedona.
| | The first is
by renting a car at the airport and driving to Sedona which takes approximately
two hours: - Take 1-10 East for approximately 5.8
miles (may differ depending upon which airport exit you take).
-
To 1-17 North for approximately 97.6 miles.
- To AZ-179
North. If you are staying in West Sedona or Uptown, drive 14.4 miles to 89A or
what is known as the “Y”. From there, it’s easy to get directions
– call your hotel concierge before leaving or use the internet for directions
to your destination.

| | The other is
by using the Sedona Phoenix Shuttle which offers service from Sky Harbor airport
to Sedona. This is a nice alternative to renting a car at the airport, but keep
in mind that they make several stops (Village of Oak Creek, Cottonwood and Camp
Verde.). While this is a relaxing and easy alternative to renting a car at the
airport, you’ll need to plan on a little more time to get to and from the
airport. - One way fares are $50.
-
Round-trip tickets are $90.
- Reservations are required to travel
via the shuttle service.
- Please note that they do not
accept credit cards and debit cards at their airport ticket counter.
