Latest Tucson hotel reviews
I flew Delta in 2008 and 2009. Manchester (UK) via Atlanta to Tucson
First time absolutely no problems. I was able to select exit row seating on both trans Atlantic crossings. Good schedule choice. Comfortable time to change in Atlanta allowing for customs and immigration and a decent meal.
Problems on our return in 2009. Schedule change with no notice, alternative flight was to be via Atlanta and Paris, delay leaving Tucson meant tight change in Atlanta which we made with 5 minutes to spare before gate closed however Delta had sold our seats assuming we would not make it in time. Hence 24 hour wait for next plane pls argument over who paid hotel and meal bills. Very poor customer service particularly at the gate. However in their defence when we returned home and submitted a complaint Delta were extremely quick to respond and gererous with a credit against future bookings. I will therefore probably tru them again.

From the UK it's a long flight however you do it so consider spending a little more if it means you get a little more comfort.
We selected American Airlines because their economy seat pitch was the best. The food was ok (have you ever had fantastic airline food?). The flights were on time. Polite cabin crew but no seat back video screens.
Outbound was Manchester(UK) - Chicago - Texas O'Hare - Tucson
Return was Tucson - Chicago - Manchester

I have flown into Tucson International Airport numerous times over the past few years, many times with my destination being Tucson, other times, I was heading to Phoenix or Sierra Vista. This is a relatively small airport with just 26 gates, but it is clean and friendly. Most rental car companies have their counters and their cars on site, savign you that lousy bus ride. America West is one of the big, low-cost airlines that uses Tucson as one of their main airports.
The airport is about 5 miles south of downtown, and the main terminal is loacated on S Tucson Blvd. Frok I-10 West (downtown) take the Campbell Ave Exit south and watch for signs. From I-10 East, use the East Valenica Road Exit and head west to Tucson Blvd and go left.

This is the quietest International airport I've ever been in. Tucson is served by 11 airlines with about 65 departures daily. The airport is south of the city proper so you will need to hire a car, or be ready to fork over for a cab. Better yet have a friend who doesn't mind playing at shuttle service.

For the trip to Tucson I flew on America West Airlines. The trip was a good one from LAX to Phoenix to Tucson. America West has their own little area in the airport where you can sit and wait between flights.
I am not a big fan of America West as the flights between Phoenix and Tucson do not always happen and delays are common. Some days you are better off just driving to Tucson from Phoenix.

To get to Tucson except driving a car you can choose a lot of possibilities including by a plane to Tucson International Airport (TIA): direct nonstop flights to/from 16 major US airports.

The arrival area in the Tucson International Airport has been redesigned. I found it easy to use and convenient. We did not have to walk far after my friend's son got his bags.

YOU can fly in from anywhere. I did from Canada through Toronto , Chicago and direct to Tucsonnon my first trip.
I drove on another occasion 2500 miles one way from Montreal (in my 1991 Honda Accord seen in the picture) passing through Chicago Oklahoma City, the north part of Texas and south through New Mexico. a very nice ride. Great highways all the way. No problems. we also returned home by auto. Stopping in Minnesota for a week to visit relatives
The city buses were excellent. We even went sight seeing on them. Tour buses also great.

FLy to Phoenix or Tucson. You definately need a car to get around..
The traffic is gradually increasing, and I have to be honest some of the worst drivers on the planet are here..so be careful! The bus service is okay, but it doesn't go everywhere. Cabs are pretty good, although they can be pricey.
