You know when you think this is the first time you have been somewhere, but it turns out, it isn't... this is that story. I was here in 2009, under sad circumstances so that could be why I don't remember the airport. I remember my cousin picking me up outside, but that's about it.\n\nSo this time I was just changing planes San Diego to Milwaukee via Phoenix on US Airways. Actually if you looked at the tail of our plane, it was a former America West plane that they must have not painted yet. If you are changing planes, make sure you give yourself enough time to get from terminal to terminal because the walk is looooong. Unlike other airports that have shuttles and trams, Phoenix does not, but they do have lots and lots of moving walkways.\n\nAs someone else mentioned, it does feel a little dated... brown leather seats, maroon/brown carpeting... I understand the Southwest theme, but it could use an update. There seems to be a lack of seating in some areas... my gate was clustered with three other gates at the end of the building and there were people sitting all over the floor, people standing while most of the seats around the gates were filled. And in looking around, there was plenty of space to add more seating without getting in the way.\n\nSome areas in the terminal have more options for food and shops, so you may want to make a note of it or stop on the way to your gate. On other areas, you may be more limited... there was an shop and a \"cafe\". The cafe is where I had breakfast, but it wasn't that great... I should've just gone for a pastry, but their Dark French Roast Coffee was awesome and I'm so glad they have giant to-go cups.\n\nMy flight was about 30 minutes delayed... it had to do with a delayed plane from Mexico and then customs had to clear the plane which added to the original delay. Overall it wasn't a half bad experience. With the way that AA is upsetting me, I could be passing through Phoenix more often.
