I've just spent an entire week in and around this airport and have a few things to say about it.\n\nI've only flown into and out of Terminal 4, but have visited the other terminals. I found Terminal 2 to be the smallest and 4 had the largest number of food choices (Einstein Bagels, Chili's, Paradise Bakery / Grill, Oaxaca, Coldstone Creamery and Starbucks to name a few). Quick food note: the Chicken Soup at Oaxaca is to DIE for. Seriously. Get it. It has a ton of chicken in it, rice, some vegetables, and it's wonderfully seasoned. I was sick during the week, and both times I had the soup it temporarily cleared my head. \n\nChecked bags seem to arrive quickly, or at least quicker than they do at IAD!!! Terminal 4 also has free wi-fi, but I think the City of Phoenix provides free wi-fi throughout the airport. This is a great freebie to have when you are sitting around for a flight that has been delayed or canceled. \n\nThe car rental center seems to be a little further away than I'd like, but at least it's all centralized and grabbing a car and taking off is painless. What I like about leaving with a rental car at PHX is that it's not difficult to follow street signs to major road ways / highways and traffic isn't so heavy that you're overwhelmed (I'm lookin at you, BOS with all yer tunnels!). Returning a car is also lickety split.\n\nAll in all, not bad for an airport of it's size and the number of daily operations it has.
